The Challenge

Volga, a Brazilian electrical panel manufacturer, faced intense competition where delivery time is a key differentiator. Manual panel wiring was time-, labor-, and skill-intensive, prone to errors, required more troubleshooting time, and consumed high volumes of copper and plastic.

The Solution

Volga adopted the EtherNet/IP In-cabinet Solution from Rockwell Automation, replacing traditional manual wiring with a streamlined digital approach that reduces physical wiring complexity.

Results

Wiring time was reduced by 66%, panel size by 36%, and panel weight by 32%. Project engineering and testing time were substantially reduced, along with significant reductions in wire and copper material usage.

Key Takeaways

• In-cabinet Ethernet networking eliminates the majority of manual point-to-point wiring in control panels • Reduced panel size and weight provide downstream logistics and installation cost benefits • Faster panel delivery times are a genuine competitive differentiator in the system integrator market
