Lower overheads & operational costs
08 August 2016
When the directors of Peterborough-based panel builders, Pneumatechnique, were looking to improve efficiency and offer better production consistency they turned to Rittal and its automation systems for switchgear construction.

Following a detailed assessment and recommendations made by Rittal’s expert team, the decision was taken by Pneumatechnique to install a Rittal Automation Perforex CNC machine.
Rittal’s team was able to advise on both the benefits that would be realised by installing the system, and potential limitations. It was quickly identified that the capital expenditure could clearly be outweighed by the cost savings.
Adam Wilson, production manager at Pneumatechnique, says: “The Perforex System has improved the quality, consistency and speed of our output, which has obviously been hugely beneficial for customers. A project that was taking four hours can now be completed in just 20 minutes and with a better finish!"
