Through its Fast Delivery Service (FDS), Weidmüller offers customized production for each order and guaranteed delivery time for each automatic offer of terminal block assemblies that are delivered ready for installation. The key element of the whole process is the Weidmüller Configurator, abbreviated WMC. The range of products present in the WMC is constantly growing, allowing users both an independent configuration of the necessary components according to their project, as well as getting automatic offers and placing orders. The WMC software can be downloaded and installed for free in a few minutes from the Weidmüller website HERE.
This October, Weidmüller team launched the new concept of Fast Delivery Service in a dedicated event were all those present – mostly target customers – had the opportunity to create a configuration on WMC. The launch event took place at Weidmüller Interface România plant from Tăuții Măgherăuș, near Baia Mare, and the participants had the opportunity to see the production processes in a tour of the plant.
Whether it’s the construction of automation equipment or control panels, today’s companies face multiple challenges. On the one hand, production is increasingly personalized and complex, and on the other hand, orders with strict deadlines and last minute design changes have become a standard procedure.
This service helps companies reduce operating costs, prevent installation errors and make them more competitive.
The use of the Weidmüller Configurator and the FDS service package allows electrical panel builders and mechanical engineers to focus on their core activities – planning, installation and operation. Time-consuming activities during the planning process can be avoided. Finally, it takes quite a while to identify the individual components of an ECAD plan, accessories, and place orders. All these steps can be performed by WMC, which not only improves the competitiveness of the company by unlocking limited resources, but also the reduced reaction time in case of design changes. Additionally, with this service you can make sure that you order and pay only for the products you need, and thus free up the warehouse of products that you will use at a later date or never.
Weidmüller‘s FDS service simplifies planning, while speeding up production processes by guaranteeing deliveries of terminal block assemblies or junction boxes, depending on the batch ordered. This also helps reduce purchasing, storage and installation costs, while increasing flexibility and quality.
With FDS one get complete terminal block assemblies and junction boxes instead of individual components. Using the optimal combination of software and services, you can increase the efficiency of the process directly from the ECAD system.
If the project was initiated in an ECAD system, then the data can be conveniently transferred to the WMC through dedicated interfaces.
The WMC can also be used without any ECAD or ERP system. The 3D configuration environment and integrated accessory compatibility features for each product make error-free configuration and terminal block marking easy. The software is intuitive to work thanks to a self-explanatory interface and drag-and-drop functionality.
Once the setup is complete, the request for quotation can be made directly from the WMC. When it comes to delivery, the user has the possibility to choose from several types of services, such as: “5-day Fast Delivery”, “10-day Delivery Service” or “Direct Offer Service”. You can easily register to benefit from this service. After completing the configuration in the WMC, the customer places a request and will receive, a few minutes later, the commercial offer for the whole set, including the newly created item for placing the order.
