De afgelopen weken ben ik druk bezig geweest met het ontwerpen van zes wandkasten als onderdeel van een complexe koeltechnische installatie. ❄ Eén van de hoogtepunten van dit project was het toepassen van EPLAN Smart Wiring, waarmee we het bedradingsproces aanzienlijk hebben geoptimaliseerd. Speciale dank 🙏 aan Jeroen van DRAAD voor de ondersteuning! Onze elektromonteurs konden na een korte instructie direct aan de slag met de nieuwe bedradingsmethode, wat hun werkproces aanzienlijk heeft versneld. Ondanks een strakke deadline, hebben we dit deel van het project op tijd kunnen opleveren. Op dit moment zijn onze monteurs de overige besturingskasten en verdelers aan het assembleren 🔧 . Binnenkort volgt er meer informatie over dit project en de resultaten! #EPLAN #SMARTWIRING #PROPANEL #RITTAL #PHOENIXCONTACT #EATON #MURR Wij zoeken collega's!

𝙄𝙩'𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙫𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 ✅ Earlier this week I was at Kremer BV 's Heerenberg to install some wires in a cabinet as part of a 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳-𝗼𝗳-𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁 😊 Why? Because validation is important 🤓 I'll explain 😀 Jeroen Lobeek & Jeroen Messing recently gave the wire production at DRAAD and the panel production at Cabli bvba a visit and decided (already prior to the visit) that they also wanted to move to a more automated way of building panels. Making the visit confirmed or validated that this was the right choice, so they wanted to move on. That's where the #poc came in. I received an #Eplan backup from their customer, did the migration from 2D towards 3D and routed the wires 👌🏼 This is again a validation, as I proved that you don't need weeks/months to start with a virtual twin 😎 In this particular case I even't had allot of data available, but still managed to do the job in a weekend 🤫 So after the routing, the wires were produced at #DRAAD by our ladies on the #Komax equipment and this week I made the (long 😅) trip to s'Heerenberg 🇳🇱 I put my working pants on and together with an experienced panel builder we installed the 156 printed wires in less than 1h45min, without schematic 😎 This means we achieved a speed of 45~50 wires an hour per person 🚀 I consider this to be the minimum viable speed for custom printed wire harnesses, which means that you'll do it 2x faster (but you can really do way better) than traditional wiring with a craftsman and all his tools. In this particular case we know it was about 4x faster than traditional wiring, mainly because of the additional labeling that was requested by the end-customer. So, we again validated the process and Jeroen & Jeroen (&Jeroen 😇) are happy to continue the switch to an all #virtualtwin driven production facility 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘱𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘣𝘪𝘨 𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 🙌🏼🚀 --- 👋🏼 Hi, I'm Jeroen I'm passionate about technology and printed wire harnesses, I'm also a firm believer of the virtual twin.

𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒌𝒊𝒅𝒔 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒅𝒐 𝒊𝒕? I doubted to do a video with the kids for understandable reasons, but when I was coming unexpectedly to work this week with them, they had to keep themselves a bit busy 😇 After exploring the facility with their scooter and asking 100's of questions about how the machines make the wire they were kinda bored out, I told them to take a look on what people were doing. They were investigating the wiring process at Cabli bvba where a colleague was wiring a panel and they were so intrigued by all the terminals and printed wires that I encouraged them to give it a try, without explanation 😀 They saw there was an "a" on all wires for the terminal strip X18 and concluded that the top connection must have been "a" and that the bottom connection must have been "b". Entirely correct, without me giving any hints on that 🤫 The youngest is still learning to read, and made a small error with mistaking an "X" for a "K", which isn't so weird as these look very alike on the wire. Yet all the wires on terminal strip X18 were, after an obligatory check-up of dad, were correctly plugged 💪🏼 My conclusions: 1️⃣ Working with wire harnesses doesn't really need explanation, even kids can do it 2️⃣ Plugging in wires with cage clamp terminals is easy, but you see why it makes sense to consider usage of "armed" terminals like #PhoenixContact's Push-X and #Weidmueller's Snap-in So..... 😏 What are you waiting for, what's your excuse to not use wire harnesses? At DRAAD we produce allot of wires for third party panel builders, we're happy to help you with your challenges 😀 -- 👋🏼 Hi , I'm Jeroen I'm intrigued by technology and passionated by wire harness manufacturing.
