- Volga achieves a 66% reduction in control panel wiring time using Rockwell Automation's new solution.
- The EtherNet/IP In-cabinet Solution reduces panel footprint by 36% and weight by 32%.
- The solution supports sustainability by cutting down on copper, cable, and plastic usage.
Rockwell Automation, Inc. (ROK, Financial), known for its leadership in industrial automation and digital transformation, has partnered with Volga, a Brazilian systems integrator, to showcase the capabilities of its newly released EtherNet/IP In-cabinet Solution. This collaboration has resulted in a substantial 66% reduction in control panel wiring time, illustrating the considerable efficiency improvements offered by the innovation.
In a comparative time study, Volga's engineers demonstrated that conventional hardwiring methods took over 20 hours to complete a control panel, whereas the implementation of Rockwell's solution reduced this time to under 7 hours. The outcomes not only highlight a significant productivity boost but also show a 36% decrease in panel footprint and a 32% reduction in weight, which are critical improvements for industries focusing on space optimization and material efficiency.
Besides enhancing operational efficiency, the EtherNet/IP In-cabinet Solution supports eco-conscious operations by minimizing the use of raw materials such as copper, cables, and plastics. This aligns with the growing demand for sustainable manufacturing practices. Volga has received positive feedback from its team regarding the solution's ease of use and reliability, pointing out its potential to accelerate smart manufacturing while supporting environmental goals.
This initiative reinforces Rockwell Automation's strategic position in the market by addressing industry needs for rapid deployment, reduced engineering complexity, and lower material costs, ultimately enhancing the competitive edge of its partners like Volga in delivering sustainable and efficient solutions to their clients.
