Digital Design of Control Cabinets

From first idea to flawless execution – control cabinet design made to fit your vision.

With EPLAN Pro Panel, we create a digital twin – for accurate design of every control cabinet.

CE and UL 508A – Certified Without Compromise

We comply with CE and UL 508A standards, which makes our enclosures suitable not only for European markets, but also for the USA/Canada. What's more, the UL certification also applies to our engineering, not just manufacturing. This confirms our competence and responsibility from first design to final testing.

Tailored Solutions

At BBC Bircher Automation, we rely on digital twins created in EPLAN. This approach ensures:

  • Accurate design
  • Time-saving production
  • Seamless integration on-site

We deliver customised solutions that fit exactly where they belong in your production.

Where do we use the digital 3D model?

+

Intralogistics

In intralogistics, digital twin technology facilitates real-time tracking and visualization of goods in the warehouse, increasing the accuracy of inventory management. It enables automatic inventory updates and precise location tracking, ensuring efficient material handling and storage optimization.

+

Mechanics

In mechanics, a digital twin simulates mechanical operations, reducing the need for physical prototypes and speeding up development. It helps fine-tune machine settings for optimal performance without the risk of actual wear and tear.

+

Pre-assembly and assembly

The digital twin helps to visualize component fits and assembly sequences (we use our own Miream software), reducing errors and assembly time. It provides workers with a step-by-step guide that ensures every part is installed correctly to exact specifications and every part is placed in the right location.

+

Component and label marking

The use of a digital twin ensures accurate identification and tracking of parts throughout the production process. It simulates the labeling process to find the most efficient methods and placement, reducing material waste and improving readability.

+

Cable harnesses

Cable harnesses involve the assembly of wires and connectors into a single unit that provides an organized and protected electrical connection for a variety of applications. Customers benefit from 3D wiring harness models because they enable visualization and optimization of wire routing, ensure proper placement, and prevent interference in complex assemblies, ultimately reducing installation time and increasing system reliability.

+

Wiring the wires

Based on the data from the digital twin created in EPLAN software, we connect the wires to the correct location. This model determines exactly where each conductor belongs, ensuring correct and efficient wiring. Thanks to the digital twin, we can prevent errors and optimize the entire installation process.

+

Testing

In our manufacturing process, each enclosure undergoes rigorous physical testing by our in-house team of engineers to ensure functionality and compliance with quality standards. This hands-on approach ensures that each enclosure meets our stringent performance criteria and provides customers with reliable, high-quality products they can trust.

+

Shipment to Customer

When the enclosure is ready for shipment, meeting all quality and performance standards, we carefully package and ship it to the customer, ensuring it meets their schedule criteria. Our meticulous packaging and shipping processes ensure that the product arrives in perfect condition, ready for immediate use and installation.

We are constantly improving and adapt to changing trends in automation.

At BBC Bircher Automation, we provide a complete single-source solution. This solution includes everything from initial planning and detailed engineering to production preparation and then precise implementation. With over 60 years of history, we have established ourselves as leaders in technological innovation, particularly in the design and manufacture of custom enclosures.
