Hardwiring is the most common way to bring power and signal to a machine because of the perceived savings in installation costs. But, according to Lapp Group, this assumption is wrong, as there are many “hidden installation costs” that many companies fail to consider.
The hidden costs
Many machines have to be disassembled for shipping and reassembled for startup, which adds time and labour because parts are being hardwired twice. This also increases the chance for field wiring errors, which can cause delays in machine commissioning, as well as damage the machine. There is also the added cost of testing, which can be complex and expensive in hardwired systems.
These hidden costs will grow exponentially with the number of connection points on the machine. However, all of these added costs can be avoided through connectorization. In its recent white paper, “Connectors lower wiring costs”, Lapp Group explains these advantages.
Lower costs
There are many ways connectors help to reduce costs. These include:
