Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE: ROK), a leading provider of industrial automation and digital transformation solutions, has announced the regional release of its CUBIC product line. CUBIC specializes in modular enclosure systems compliant with the IEC-61439 standard, designed for the construction of power and electrical panels.
The CUBIC product line caters to rapidly growing industries such as renewable energy, mining, data centers, chemical, Food and Beverage, and infrastructure. While previously available in limited capacities in select Asian markets, it will now be widely accessible across the region.
In the manufacturing sector, there is a growing focus on smart transformation to foster sustainability. A dependable electrical power management system is essential for optimizing manufacturing processes and creating safer, more sustainable, and intelligent manufacturing environments.
Traditional switchboards with fixed metal enclosures often integrate circuit breakers and electrical connection components within the same panelboard, leading to potential safety risks during adjustments or maintenance. CUBIC’s modular switchboards offer a solution to transition to safer, more sustainable, and intelligent power systems.
The majority of industrial companies still rely on traditional fixed switchboards. However, as sustainability awareness increases globally, there is a growing need for intelligent power solutions compliant with international standards like IEC. CUBIC’s modular switchboard system can assist these companies in enhancing productivity, improving employee safety, reducing downtime, and meeting evolving expectations for sustainable manufacturing.
Switchboards and Motor Control Centers (MCCs) play a crucial role in protecting equipment from electrical overload. Modularity and standardization in CUBIC’s design offer several performance and safety benefits, including dynamic panel adjustment, flexible electrical configurations, pull-out automatic power-off features for maintenance, and compliance with safety standards.
CUBIC’s packaging design and assembly features contribute to reducing transportation and assembly space requirements, lowering carbon footprint, and accelerating setup time. Additionally, its Galaxy visualization design software enables comprehensive panel design and verification prior to installation.
In digital transformation initiatives, manufacturers consider factors such as compliance, implementation costs, and establishment time. The flexible modular design of CUBIC switchboards allows factories to start with implementing the power system and gradually expand into more complex areas, facilitating the establishment of a sustainable and secure production environment.
