In the industrial automation field, time is one of the most valuable resources and, somewhat paradoxically, one of the most difficult to manage. Often, the assembly of electrical cabinets on site becomes a time-consuming bottleneck that delays the entire schedule.

At Zanardo, we have developed a pre-assembly service for electrical cabinets designed to remove unpredictable variables and allow professionals to focus on what they do best: wiring and putting systems into service.

Why does traditional on-site assembly represent a risk to your business?

Assembling the entire structure directly on site or in unequipped workplaces involves a series of ‘hidden costs’ that have a significant impact on the project’s profit margin:

• Logistical challenges: limited space, inadequate lighting, and the need to find fasteners in multiple packages.
• Tolerance errors: an imperfect mechanical fit at the initial stage can cause structural problems or difficulties in closing the cabinet once it is full of components.
• Time overruns: every hour spent assembling carpentry parts is an hour taken away from quality control and testing.

The 3 main pillars of Zanardo's pre-assembled electrical cabinets

Choosing a pre-assembled solution means not only receiving a ‘ready-to-use’ product, but also adopting an industrial working method that guarantees three immediate competitive advantages:

1. Time savings: up to 40% of hours saved

The most obvious advantage is the drastic reduction in installation time. Receiving a cabinet already configured to technical specifications allows you to eliminate the heavy mechanical assembly phase. This translates into a reduction of up to 40% in on-site labour hours, enabling you to meet even the tightest deadlines.

2. Mechanical precision and zero defects

At Zanardo, every component is perfectly assembled in our production workshops using precision tools and dedicated assembly benches.

• Verified mechanics: we test the fit and alignment of every door, panel and accessory.
• Control of quality: working in a protected environment reduces risks associated with dust and dirt, ensuring that seals and IP protection ratings remain intact.

3. Simplified logistics 

Inbound flow management becomes extremely straightforward. Instead of having to receive and store multiple packages containing scattered fasteners, you receive pre-configured units. 

This centralised approach reduces logistical complexity and eliminates the risk of losing critical components during transit or storage, ensuring immediate and error-free stock control.

So, how do you choose the best electrical cabinet for your business?

The answer lies in process optimisation. Turning your construction site into a centre of excellence means entrusting the mechanical work to those who deal with metalwork on a daily basis.

Relying on Zanardo therefore means investing in the smooth running of processes. By entrusting us with the precision fabrication of the metal structure for your electrical cabinet, your company can reduce logistical inefficiencies and allow your specialists to focus on controls and electrical engineering – the true technological heart of automation.
