The clipx WIRE assist worker assistance system enables efficient conductor processing. The software-supported system guides users through the process of semi-automated conductor processing, automatically controls the relevant output devices, and provides the necessary information based on CAE data.

In industrial control cabinet building, processes still feature a large number of manual steps. There is still considerable potential in particular in wire preparation and processing. These time-consuming activities account for more than half of the time spent on control cabinet building. The clipx WIRE assist worker assistance system from Phoenix Contact is a “tool” for exploiting this potential as far as possible in terms of economy and efficiency.
Software-supported conductor preparation
The necessary wiring information for the software-supported completion of the processes is exported from standard CAE programs. The information is fed into the clipx WIRE assist system. In addition, an integrated editor function also allows data to be compiled manually.
Based on this data, the clipx Wire assist software guides the worker through the semi-automated conductor finishing process. At the same time, the system’s devices are controlled directly and the necessary information for further processing and wiring is visually enhanced and automatically displayed on the monitor in an easy-to-follow format.
Ergonomic workstation design
The height-adjustable clipx WIRE assist workbench is designed to satisfy ergonomic requirements. One advantage of this is the ability to switch between sitting and standing while working and the system can also be adapted to the physical height of the worker and/or to the activity to be completed. Ideal positioning of the printing systems and automatic tools in the working area reduces the reaching distance, which is another ergonomic benefit.
The worker assistance system is mounted on four industrial-grade castors with brakes, making it very mobile. This means that the system can be used where the work needs to be performed, thus reducing unnecessary legwork.
Worker assistance system based on lean principles
The system concept is based on lean principles such as the 5S principle.
These principles help to eliminate disorder and optimize organization.
Short search-and-retrieve times are achieved through the use of multi-layer hard foam inserts in which each tool and aid has a predefined recess. Here, the tools that are used more frequently can be accessed easily and the tools used less often are positioned further away.
