Modern Engineering with 3-D CAD Tools
It is important to have in-depth knowledge of the industry branch
and the application in order to fulfill the specific requirements. “We
have system and application specialists on site at the SECs. When
we receive a request, we assign the right contact person to support
our customers until the solution is ready for use, and to share our
knowledge with them,” explains Hertel. The responsible project engineer
performs a precise analysis of the requirements and works out a
proposal for a solution in close cooperation with the customer.
“Often, the users already have a specific solution in mind based on
old recommendations, for example, when pneumatic control is used
instead of electrical control for reasons of explosion protection,” says
Kasten. “We recommend alternatives involving modern network tech-
nologies – and by using modern and efficient engineering tools, we are
able to work out alternative solutions based on the specified cabinet
dimensions. These solutions can be presented, interchanged, and
improved by using 3-D representations.”
Complete Certification and Documentation
Production of the individual solution starts only after all the essential
details have been precisely clarified and the project plan and time
frame for the finished solution have been confirmed. “All our production
plants are certified in accordance with ISO 9000. Of course, when it
comes to the quality of our products and solutions and those of the
