readychain® - Applications
Preassembled energy supply system for the automationThere is a number of different reasons to opt for the preassembled energy supply systems in the automation of machines and plants. Manufacturing costs are reduced, and sources of defects are almost excluded. The project planning costs lesser, and reliability increases. Application potentials are available, among others, in installation engineering and handling technology, conveyance and storage techniques, or in mechanical engineering.
Fix and ready in the system
The customer hands over his entire procurement logistics, from the procurement of all necessary special parts, plates or machine parts up to the provision of ready-to-install systems on the fixed installation date. The comprehensive product range fulfills almost all customer requirements. In the meantime, over 40,000 individual components, over 600 chain-suitable cables as well as over 2,500 electric components are available from stock. The number of suppliers and orders is reduced for the customer by 75%. He can thus concentrate on his core business and leave the procuring of the numerous individual components to igus® as the system supplier. In this way, the customer requirements are quickly and flexibly met.
