Fundamentals of the system supplier concept

System supplier concept in mechanical and plant engineering

The system supplier concept plays a crucial role in ensuring efficient supply chains in control and installation technology for machinery and plant engineering. Manufacturers benefit from specialized system suppliers who provide not just individual components but complete, ready-to-use cable and installation assemblies. These comprehensive solutions reduce assembly effort, minimize potential errors, and optimize production processes. By using complete assemblies, machine builders can streamline their operations and focus on their core competencies. At the same time, they benefit from higher quality, shorter lead times, and simplified machine installation.

System suppliers take on comprehensive responsibility for the electromechanical equipment in machinery and plant engineering. This includes providing cable assemblies and complete installation units, energy chains, and control cabinets that enable efficient machine installation. Through their technical expertise and close collaboration with machine manufacturers, they ensure tailored wiring solutions that integrate seamlessly into existing control and drive systems.

A key advantage of a system supplier is the provision of complete assemblies – from pre-assembled power cables to energy management systems. Companies in mechanical engineering benefit from prefabricated, tested, and ready-to-install solutions, which enable faster commissioning. In addition, system suppliers offer after-sales services such as spare parts supply, maintenance, and optimization of existing installation systems.

The increasing complexity of modern machines requires highly specialized electromechanical complete solutions that meet both technical and economic requirements. Through digitalization and automation, system suppliers and machine manufacturers work more closely together to fully exploit efficiency potentials.

The requirements for system suppliers are continuously evolving due to increasing digitalization and automation. Automated maintenance operations help minimize production downtime. At the same time, standardized plug-and-play systems enable flexible machine installation. The trend is moving toward modular, manufacturer-independent solutions that allow faster scaling and adaptation of machines.

Companies in the machine and plant engineering sector benefit in many ways from collaborating with system suppliers:

• Cost savings through standardized cable and wiring systems
• Shorter production and installation times thanks to pre-assembled assemblies
• Minimization of interface risks for higher operational safety
• High quality assurance through tested and certified components
• Flexibility in the design and implementation of plants

By providing ready-to-use cable assemblies, cable harnesses, energy chains, and control cabinets, system suppliers make a significant contribution to optimizing the entire value chain in mechanical engineering.
