Case Stories – Boosting Efficiency: Acute Automation’s Success with Rittal TS 8

Meet Jaswanth & Adnan, the Directors of Acute Automation, who specializes in delivering advanced industrial automation solutions. They focus on supporting industries needing cutting-edge technology to meet rigorous standards and streamline their operations. Acute Automation has a proven record of equipping clients with solutions that optimize production and efficiency. 

The Challenge: The end-user for this project is a prominent global leader in integrated circuit manufacturing and technology services. They are at the forefront of their industry with six manufacturing sites and a portfolio of valuable patents. Their operations span regions, supported by innovation and operational excellence teams. The client encountered several challenges while managing their panel systems:

• Complex Procurement: Relying on multiple panel vendors made the procurement process overly complex, impacting timelines and costs.
• Spare Parts Inventory: Diverse vendors resulted in a wide range of parts, leading to an expensive, bulky spare parts inventory.
• Integration and Maintenance: The various panel sizes and standards across suppliers presented integration hurdles, making maintenance labour-intensive and costly.

The client’s goal was to streamline stock availability, reduce excess inventory, and standardize panels to meet both industry standards and their specific customization needs. The primary challenge was to find a reliable, high-quality panel vendor that could maintain a steady stock, provide strong support, and offer products adaptable to the client’s custom specifications.

The Decision: After a thorough evaluation, Acute Automation chose to implement the Rittal Baying System TS8, recommended by HoST, a trusted leader in industrial automation distribution across Singapore and Southeast Asia. The longstanding partnership with HoST made them an ideal advisor, offering insight and dependable recommendations.

The Solution: The Rittal TS8 system offered several critical advantages:

• Scalable Design: The modular design allows for easy expansion, enabling growth alongside the client’s needs.
• Streamlined Procurement: Rittal’s offerings simplified procurement with customizable options, reducing reliance on multiple vendors.
• Reliable Support: HoST provided robust pre-sales and after-sales technical support, ensuring smooth installation and reliable maintenance.

The TS 8 sheet steel baying system, with its symmetrical profile in the width and depth, offers a significant space gain, plus simple interior installation. This likewise ensures bayability from all sides. Additionally, the integral, automatic potential equalisation of all enclosure panels and the triple surface treatment ensure optimum safety.

The Impact: By adopting the Rittal solution from HoST, Acute Automation realized tangible benefits:

• Simplified Procurement: Standardizing with Rittal reduced complexities in ordering and inventory, as well as dependencies on multiple vendors.
• Enhanced Product Reliability: The TS8’s scalable design ensured the system could grow as the client’s needs evolved, supporting long-term expansion.
• Efficient Support: HoST’s technical expertise ensured seamless installation and ongoing maintenance, effectively addressing challenges related to vendor reliability and customizations.

Conclusion: For Acute Automation, selecting the Rittal solution through HoST has transformed their operations. With more reliable products, smoother operations, and robust technical support, Acute Automation is positioned to meet industry standards and better serve customer needs.

“Solutions streamlined operations and boosted scalability, with crucial support in meeting industry standards and ensuring reliable results.” – Jaswanth, Director of Acute Automation.
