C OMPACT M ACHINES AND D ECENTRALISATION In decentralisation, the focus is around making machines as compact and centralised as possible to make it easy to commission them. Machines can be assembled as complete transportable units, however, the control technology for the machines needs to be in the right place. This can be done either by machine-integrated standard enclosures or through appropriate integration in the body of the machine. Paul advises: “We have products, accessories and expert advisors who can advise around protection category, heat dissipation, EMC (electro-magnetic compatibility) and the corresponding installation regulations/ requirements, which all have to be taken into account.” Further information at www.rittal.co.uk and www.friedhelm-loh-group.com or on twitter @rittal_ltd.
