Connectivity Consulting: Future-ready cabinet building

Optimised processes for sustainable cabinet building at Elektro-Fink

Connectivity Consulting – analyse processes and identify potential for improvement with expert know-how. In recent years, the demands placed on control cabinets and machine construction have steadily increased. The ability to continuously adapt to new challenges is becoming increasingly important. Sustainable solutions that enable a lean and efficient manufacturing process are the fundamental element. Cost reduction, minimisation of waste and improvement of quality are crucial factors in remaining competitive.

Partner in the spotlight: Elektro Fink Schaltanlagenbau GmbH & Co. KG

Elektro Fink Schaltanlagenbau GmbH & Co. KG, based in Teterow / Germany, has been developing and manufacturing customised solutions for power distribution, energy monitoring and control technology since 1994. The family-run company employs around 50 people across a production area of 1,600 m² and relies on modern production technologies and the continuous optimisation of its processes as the basis for quality, efficiency and sustainable growth.

Growing pressure to increase efficiency at Elektro-Fink

Together with Weidmüller connectivity consultants, Elektro-Fink optimised its processes, achieving noticeably higher efficiency after just one year.

For more than 30 years, Elektro-Fink Schaltanlagenbau GmbH & Co. KG has been a specialist in power distribution, energy monitoring and control technology. To meet growing requirements for quality, delivery times and productivity as well as increasing competitive pressure, the company set out to make its production processes future-ready.

Elektro-Fink first became aware of Weidmüller at Workplace Solutions Days 2023. The transparent process visualisation and structured Connectivity Consulting approach impressed the management team and laid the foundation for their collaboration.

As part of a maturity assessment, the Connectivity Consultants worked with the company to analyse its existing production and organisational processes. Potential for optimisation in the areas of material flow, automation and digital process integration was identified and incorporated into an action plan. The structured approach and close collaboration laid the foundation for sustainably optimised and future-ready production.

We had to ask ourselves: Where do we stand in the market, and how can we secure our competitiveness in the long term? With Weidmüller, we have a partner at our side who supports us not only technically but also strategically, helping us remain competitive in the long term.

Elektro-Fink focuses on partnership-based consulting with an eye to the future

Together with Connectivity Consultants, Elektro-Fink analysed its workflows and prioritised measures to increase efficiency. Based on the maturity assessment, potential for optimisation was identified and implemented step by step. The close collaboration made it possible to sustainably improve processes and make production future-ready.

  • 15 % higher overall efficiency within one year
    Through optimised production processes and the targeted use of automation solutions, Elektro-Fink increased overall efficiency by 15 percent within one year – with the same workforce. At the same time, on-time delivery performance and output improved noticeably.
  • Semi-automation with the Wire Processing Centre (WPC)
    The WPC is at the heart of the semi-automated wire assembly process and significantly reduces throughput times. At the same time, manual work steps are reduced, errors are minimised and employees are relieved of repetitive tasks.

  • Seamless digital process chain
    With the Labeling Processing Centre (LPC), ERP-integrated labelling and the use of further automation solutions such as the CUTFIX PRO FEEDER and CRIMPFIX R VARIO, production processes were further standardised and setup times significantly reduced.
  • Optimised workstations and material supply
    Improved workstation design, optimised material flows and the introduction of standardised workflows create more ergonomic working conditions, shorter distances and more efficient processes in cabinet production.
