Revolutionizing Panel Building with Weidmuller Wire Processing Center (WPC)
April 7, 2025
Easy. Flexible. Efficient.
In the dynamic world of panel building, efficiency is key. With increasing cost pressures and tighter deadlines, optimizing processes is no longer an option—it’s a necessity. The Weidmuller Wire Processing Center (WPC) is designed to tackle these challenges head-on, providing unmatched flexibility, reliability, and an impressive efficiency boost of up to 80%.
Addressing the Challenges of Panel Building
Studies show that in classic panel building, 72% of the installation phase is consumed by wiring and mechanical assembly. As project timelines shrink and the pace of business accelerates, streamlining these processes is essential. According to the findings of the “Panel Building 4.0” study, the highest potential for savings lies in standardization and pre-assembly of cables. The Wire Processing Center directly addresses these areas with software-controlled, semi-automated cable assembly, accelerating production while maintaining the highest quality standards.
High Flexibility with Consistently High Quality
One of the key strengths of the WPC is its modular structure and flexibility. Each individual device can operate independently in stand-alone mode or as part of the larger system. Users can purchase devices individually and upgrade to the full system later, offering scalability that adapts to evolving business needs. The intuitive software interface makes it easy to edit and manage individual jobs, ensuring seamless operation.
Intelligent User Guidance & Ease of Operation
The WPC features intelligent user guidance through its integrated application software. Each device communicates via implemented interfaces, transferring the required data as soon as a job begins. The target state of the completed wire is displayed on a touch screen, providing clear visual guidance to the user and minimizing errors.
Planning Software WPC Tool
Planning and data management are simplified with the WPC tool. This planning software enables data to be read and edited through multiple formats, including manual input, WSCAD, CSV files, Eplan, and E3 files. Data transmission to the WPC is straightforward via network or USB stick, ensuring seamless integration into existing workflows.
Customizing & Stockpiling for Greater Efficiency
The WPC’s profile system offers flexible integration options, enabling optimal incorporation into various processes. With multiple cable feed options and an integrated shelving system for consumables, the WPC is designed to enhance workflow efficiency. Additionally, the optional multiple feeder can pre-install up to 12 conductors, further accelerating production.
Discover the Future of Panel Building
The Weidmuller Wire Processing Center is more than just a tool—it’s a game-changer in panel building. By offering flexibility, high reliability, and substantial efficiency gains, the WPC empowers businesses to meet the challenges of a fast-paced industry with confidence.
