How to Use Digitization and Automation for More Efficient Panel Building
July 29, 2025
In this episode we connect with Sanu Warrier, product director for software at nVent, to get insights on Industry 4.0's ROI for panel builders, how design to manufacturing (DTM) software differs from traditional CAD, how DTM software helps ease the friction between engineering and manufacturing, and the cost-saving specifics that DTM software provides to panel builders.
Practical ROI insights on Industry 4.0 illustrate why Industry 4.0 isn't about futuristic automation but incremental gains that can be achieved through pilot projects and strategic implementation.
Concrete time and cost savings examples such as specific metrics like saving 20+ hours per month on parts data creation, 90% time savings on reporting and 40% reduction in wire assembly time, with real-world before/after scenarios that panel builders can relate to.
Implementation strategies for adopting design-to-manufacturing tools without disrupting current operations.
