The Panel Building Automation Matrix (PAM) which has been developed by EPLAN and Rittal, uses insight from more than 150 panel builders to help you understand your processes by analysing your business, identifying challenges and creating opportunities for improvement. PAM is at the centre of the smart value chain and uses a digital twin to connect the design and manufacturing of electrical control panels.

Manufacturing electrical control panels has never been easier. By using a digital twin, the entire manufacturing process is simplified. A study we conducted in the panel building market has revealed that manufacturing times can be reduced by more than 40% if you use a digital twin. This study has enabled us to work closely with companies and identify bottlenecks in their design and manufacturing processes. We use insight from this study to advise companies on:

• Saving time
• Reducing scrap
• Simplifying panel production
• Consistent, reliable data at all times
• Automation of drilling & cut outs
• Creation of identical panels 
• Reducing errors

EPLAN and Rittal together offer the complete smart value chain for your entire enclosure manufacturing process, from electrical design through to automated machining; therefore offering you the perfect combination for Industry 4.0.
