WKC is also very flexible when it comes to production: Of the 14,000 or so control cabinets that leave the factory each year, many are only produced in small quantities via the one-off process. Increasingly important: Production of small series and one-offs For on-going series, we work tirelessly to achieve cost optimisation of the switchgear". Engineer Hans-Peter Kasparick, Head of Specialist Tasks/Software Engineering at Siemens Chemnitz, explains: “We distinguish ourselves from our competitors because as partners to the customer, we cover the entire value-added chain: We collaborate with our customers very early in the development phase, and if required, can produce complete automation concepts. Anyone who operates in the highly competitive environment of control cabinet production needs to offer their customers something special if they are to be successful. WKC, the combination engineering plant, develops and manufactures electronic assemblies and complete cabinets, with exceptional success: The plant boasts more than 130 clients, nationwide and worldwide. “From control cabinet production to solutions factory”: This is the motto of the Siemens site in Chemnitz. In order to accelerate work operations and respond quickly to differing order and customer requirements without compromising its high quality standards, Siemens has also created an integrated information flow from SAP via EPLAN Electric P8 through to EPLAN Cabinet. The Siemens combination engineering plant at Chemnitz, which develops and produces control cabinets for more than 130 customers, uses EPLAN Cabinet for its 3D planning.
