Design and build control panels without stress - no more working in excel sheets
Constantly changing demands, but also changing technology and export guidelines are well-known challenges for a machine- and panel builder.
An ever-increasing response time is the enduring trend and process optimization a requirement. Therefore, the time is really over to manually keep track of things around an electro-technical design in an excel sheet. The time and stress that this takes and the chance of errors that such a method entails, no longer fits in a world that is changing ever faster and is becoming more digital. After all, what machine or panel builder doesn't want to be able to select the right switching and protection devices for a motor or load at the push of a button, including required cable diameters and short-circuit calculations?
With Siemens Control Panel Design software in the TIA Selection Tool, it is now possible to size and realize the entire electrical design. That means easy, accurate and fast design in accordance with European IEC and North American UL guidelines. Thanks to the complete digitization of electrotechnical engineering, this becomes simpler, more efficient and more flexible.
Control Panel Design in the TIA Selection Tool simplifies, for example, the design of motor starters/soft starters that are subject to the IEC and UL directives. In addition, the tool provides support in sizing the cabling for an application and allows important short-circuit calculations to be performed at the push of a button. Another feature is the ability to assign reference designations in accordance with major industry guidelines such as UL508, NFPA79, NEC, IEC-60204-1 and IEC-81346. The tool also provides creative functions for the purpose of generating the circuit diagrams for EPLAN and producing project documentation.
Control Panel Design is part of Siemens' Integrated Control Panels (ICP). Based on know-how, tools & product data for digital design, machine and panel builders are effectively helped with their business operations and greater competitiveness is realized.

Bright Renewables - From Webinar to an Actual Predictive Maintenance ProjectRead moreUnder the header “FastForward”, itsme supports product improvement and process acceleration, including by informing customers about time-saving solutions and smart technologies. For example, in spring 2023, a webinar on predictive maintenance was organised in collaboration with KIM Plus Delta, consultants for asset and maintenance management. Bright Renewables’ participation resulted in an actual predictive maintenance project for Bright's green gas plants.

Signaal 64 - Boon Edam - Toegang tot VMI en een groot assortimentRead moreBoon Edam, known for its revolving doors and turnstiles, picked itsme as their main electrical components supplier last year. The large product range and the vendor managed inventory (VMI) solution for the grab stock of electrical assembly materials were the deciding factors. “When you install VMI, you actually do it forever.”

Sissing Noord - Commissioning FrequencyRead moreSissing Noord in Leek (Groningen) is an expert in the maintenance, renovation and construction of “wet” infrastructure, like movable bridges, pumping stations and locks. For the drives of these structures, itsme supplies the speed drives and, where necessary, also the technical know-how. For projects where Sissing Noord needs this knowledge, specialist itsme offers “some relief”.

Connected Business - Vendor Managed InventoryRead moreThe Lean improvement method distinguishes eight waste categories. One of these is 'inventory'. Too much stock is not good, but neither is too little. After all, having stock also provides the safe feeling of availability in times of uncertain internal planning and external factors that cannot be directly influenced. Because optimising availability both in one's own company and in the supply chain is often not the core competence of our customers, itsme can take over the care of such optimisation, for example through the import and management of so-called Vendor Managed Inventory systems. But, how do you know whether VMI is indeed the right solution? Ralph van Aartsen can answer that crucial question - using five questions. Here, in advance, are his answers to our questions on VMI.
