Connectivity Consulting: Faster and more effective processes

Increased efficiency at AuCom through targeted process optimisation

Connectivity Consulting – analyse processes and identify potential for improvement with expert know-how. In recent years, the demands placed on control cabinets and machine construction have steadily increased. The ability to continuously adapt to new challenges is becoming increasingly important. Sustainable solutions that enable a lean and efficient manufacturing process are the fundamental element. Cost reduction, minimisation of waste and improvement of quality are crucial factors in remaining competitive.

Partner in focus: AuCom MCS GmbH & Co. KG

AuCom MCS GmbH & Co. KG was founded in 1978 and is now one of the world's leading specialists in motor control solutions for industrial applications. The company has more than 40 years of experience in developing and supplying reliable, application-specific systems – from soft starters to complete motor control systems. In addition to its products, AuCom offers comprehensive services, including commissioning support and technical customer service via a global network of experienced experts.

Increasing process efficiency at AuCom MCS GmbH & Co. KG

As a solution provider and consultant, we work closely with AuCom to shape the way forward together.

The modern company AuCom MCS GmbH & Co. KG from Sendenhorst has quickly become the most important location within the international AuCom Group for modern frequency converter technology. The manufacturer of electronic drive technology is growing rapidly and is meeting increasing demands with consistent digitalisation and automation.

In order to strategically support this change and make processes more efficient, AuCom has decided to collaborate with Weidmüller's Connectivity Consulting. The target was to create structures that could withstand dynamic growth.

From the very first meeting between Weidmüller and AuCom, numerous impulses and ideas were generated, laying out the foundation for customised optimisation concepts. AuCom’s expertise was further enhaced through participation in the Weidmüller Workplace Solutions Days (WPS Days). Together, concrete optimisation measures were developed and implemented, with a focus on data consistency, seamless workflows, and employee involvement.

Weidmüller has supported us in critically reviewing our processes and exploring new approaches. Thanks to their consulting, we identified the opportunities of digitalisation and automation and were able to increase efficiency in some areas by up to 80%. We are now optimally prepared for further growth!

Achieving success together with Connectivity Consulting

With comprehensive advice from Weidmüller and the use of digital tools, AuCom was able to significantly increase efficiency in several areas.
A particular focus is on the consistent provision of digital data throughout the entire workflow – from planning to the workshop.

  • Up to 80% time savings per work step
    By providing all relevant data digitally, the time required per project was reduced from up to 4 hours to round 20 minutes – an efficiency gain of up to 80%.
  • Minimising errors through ECAD data provision
    All components are marked automatically directly off the engineering data via M-Print® PRO. This prevents potential transmission errors, optimises material usage and makes production more resource-efficient overall.

  • Digital support in engineering
    Using the Weidmüller Configurator (WMC) with its direct connection to Eplan simplifies planning and implementation. In addition, AuCom also takes advantage of the Fast Delivery Service (FDS) for pre-assembled, ready-to-install terminal strips.
  • Faster onboarding of new employees
    Thanks to consistent, digital processes, the onboarding of new employees is significantly faster and more structured. This is an attractive, sustainable process for the entire team.

  • Automation creates future security
    With the use of Klippon® Automated RailAssembler for automated terminal assembly and Klippon® Automated RailLaser for high-precision marking directly on the DIN rail, further efficiency potential is leveraged, resulting in even greater speed, precision and future-proofing.
