Digitalisation at SCHUBS

We implement digitalisation through innovative solutions like RoboSchalt for automating our wiring, or DAKoTA for maximisingour efficient data processing, and Moonshiner for making putting our products together easier via augmented reality-assisted assembly.

Roboschalt

On July 1, 2018, Schubs partnered with Ruhr-University Bochum for a two-year research project funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi) under the “central program for innovation in medium-sized companies.” The goal is to automate wiring assembly in control cabinets using a program-based robot. Given the vast variety in wiring configurations (batch size 1), no global solution existed. RoboSchalt focuses on developing a cyber-physical system (CPS) that integrates mobile facilities, machines, and robots while remaining accessible via a user interface. This innovation will enhance efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness in complex processes.

DAKoTA

DAKoTA is our internally developed data processing solution, designed for individual, small batch, and series production of multiple-unit products. Its modular design and open architecture allow for industry-specific customization, successfully applied in sectors like steel and plant construction, automotive, and electrical engineering. DAKoTA streamlines production by organizing key data into four areas: head mask, project data, component images, bill of materials, picture upload, and workflow. Its paperless system frees up storage space, while scannable coding enables intuitive operation across multiple devices, making it accessible for unskilled workers and people with disabilities. DAKoTA is also used in welfare institutions.

Moonshiner

Visual assistance systems such as Moonshiner are a major step forward in everyday production and the diversity of control cabinet technology. You save time and prevent production downtimes or a high reject rate. This support is also called 'augmented reality', which is the computer-aided expansion of the perception of reality. During the work process, employees can display the layout, parts list and previously printed labels for the components on the assembly surface by means of projection and thus compare the real assembly situation with digital construction plans. The components have already been picked in advance for this purpose. Moonshiner is systematically supported by an ERP system and CAE system with the management of various data such as article and image data, article numbers, EAN codes and equipment labels.  make this into a short sentence stating how we implement digitalisation make moonshiner a tiny bit longer
