Enjoy Quicker, More Flexible, And More Economical Production With Weidmüller’s Fast Delivery Service
Whether in the field of machinery and plant engineering or panel building, today's companies are facing major challenges. On the one hand, production is becoming increasingly customised, more intricate and more complex, and on the other hand, ad-hoc orders with tight deadlines and last-minute design changes are becoming the norm.
]Furthermore, there are serious cost pressures on the panel building sector due to global competition. There is a high demand for customised solutions in this area.
The Fast Delivery Service from Weidmüller helps companies to reduce operating costs, prevent installation errors and increase fail-safety, creating the perfect foundations for economic success.
Fast Delivery Service: core business instead of a terminal conundrum
With the Fast Delivery Service from Weidmüller, customers can receive customised terminal strips pre-assembled ready for installation, as well as assembled or unassembled empty enclosures at extremely short notice.
This service has several advantages: there are no high fixed costs for production capacity that is kept free, and no need for a constant provision of storage space or the purchase of individual components.
At the same time, pre-assembly means that errors are avoided while also increasing the fail-safety of the products and improving product quality.
“With Fast Delivery, we are providing small and medium-sized businesses in the fields of panel building and machinery and plant engineering with a holistic concept designed to speed up and simplify a wide range of different processes. The customer receives the product from us ready for installation within just 5 days. This increases efficiency and flexibility while also generating huge cost savings”, reports Björn Drewes, Head of Business Unit/Production Assembly Services.
Here's how the service works: Weidmüller offers flexible order production and binding delivery times for terminal strips that are pre-assembled ready for installation.
The key ingredient here is the Weidmüller Configurator, or WMC for short. The WMC contains over 8000 Weidmüller products for the configuration of tailor-made applications.
The range of products in the WMC is being continually expanded. allowing users to independently plan and document their projects as well as making requests and placing orders. The software, which is installed and ready to use in just a few minutes, is available as a free download on the Weidmüller homepage.
If there are already datasets for the project from an ECAD system such as ePlan P8 or Zuken E3, these can be conveniently imported via an integrated interface without any errors. But the software can also be used without any ECAD or ERP systems.
An Excel table is often sufficient, and Weidmüller is happy to help with the preparation stage in the event of any doubts. The consistency of the data is ensured via all import channels, from the placing of the order right through to the documentation stage.
The 3D configuration environment and the integrated object dependencies for the components facilitate the error-free configuration and marking of the terminal strips.
The software is intuitive to operate thanks to a self-explanatory interface and drag-and-drop functionality. In addition, the WMC includes a database of best-practice solutions for standardised projects.
Quick, quicker, quickest with Fast Delivery
Once configuration is complete, a quotation is created and the order placed directly via the WMC. This sends the details to the Production department, where customised products are produced fully automatically within just 24 hours.
When it comes to delivery, the user has a range of different service levels to choose from. The 5-day Fast Delivery service offers the quickest delivery time for a select product range.
The 10-day delivery service also covers a wide product range with reliable availability. There is also the “Direct Offer service” for customised configurations. The speed of delivery in this case depends on the availability of the components used in the configurations.
All service levels are available starting from a batch size of one. This allows for the economical processing of smaller projects and individual requests. Customers receive their customised product ready to install after just five working days. Fast Delivery is available throughout Europe.
Simply register to use all of the Fast Delivery services. The automated quotation process helps to speed up future orders. After completing the configuration using an ECAD system and the WMC, the customer creates a request and then receives an individual, customer-specific quotation a few minutes later, including an article number for direct ordering.
The Weidmüller Fast Delivery Service allows the user to decide whether to purchase individual terminal blocks, assembled terminal blocks or a fully assembled enclosure, providing mechanical engineers and panel builders with the perfect service for every project.
