High Variation
Custom enclosures and small production runs make it difficult to maintain stable processes.
Industry · Electronics & Electrical ManufacturinG
Every connection checked.
Every cabinet is accounted for.
Manufacturing OS from CSP inspects crimp and screw connections directly at the workstation, guides operators through assembly, wiring, and rework, and archives the inspection data in an audit-proof manner. This allows you to document exactly how each cabinet was built.
Joining Processes
Crimping, screwing, and riveting are inspected directly at the workstation.
Operator Guidance
Step-by-step assembly, wiring, and rework with visual instructions.
Documentation
Test data for each cabinet, archived in an audit-proof manner.
Challenges
The Demands of Today’s Electronics Manufacturing and Control Cabinet Construction
A control cabinet has many connections and is often built as a one-off unit. If a defect isn’t discovered until the final inspection, it takes a long time to find and is costly to fix.
Hidden Connection Faults
A poor crimp or a loose terminal is often not noticed until it’s too late.
Knowledge concentrated in a few people
There is a shortage of skilled workers, and new employees require extensive training.
Complete documentation
Customers and audits require documentation for each cabinet and component.
Manufacturing OS
A platform for end-to-end quality, from crimping to the finished cabinet
Testing, assembly, and documentation all run within a single system. Every station works with the same data, and you no longer have to maintain siloed solutions.
Joining Processes
Every joint is inspected
Crimping, screwing, and riveting processes are monitored and documented. You regularly test tools on the test bench.

Operator guidance
Operator safely guided
Each step is displayed with an image and must be acknowledged. New variants can be introduced into production without extensive training.
Wiring

Rework
Systematic rework
An error code triggers the appropriate instructions, regardless of individual knowledge.
Error code detected

Traceability
Fully traceable
Serial numbers, process data, and acknowledgments are recorded in a history for each component and remain archived in an audit-proof manner.

Applications
Quality is part of the process, not just the end result
CSP inspects every critical step right at the workstation. This allows you to identify deviations before the cabinet leaves the production hall.
Book a demo01
Cable assembly and crimping
Inspect crimping processes and document them for each cable.
02
Screw connections on terminals and rails
Monitor torque and angle of rotation; inspect tools regularly.
03
Assembly and Wiring
Provide step-by-step visual guidance to workers, even for custom-made products.
04
Visual and Final Inspection
AI-assisted visual inspection directly at the workstation.
05
Rework at the Rework Station
Step-by-step troubleshooting using error codes.
06
Documentation and Archiving
Keep test data audit-proof and available for the long term.
Standards and Documentation
Verification data is generated directly during the process
Manufacturing OS records measurement values and acknowledgments at the workstation and archives them in an audit-traceable manner. This allows you to access them during individual part inspections, audits, or complaints.

Introduction
Three Steps to Secure Manufacturing
You start with one station and then expand at your own pace.
1
Define the pilot station
Together, we’ll select a process—such as crimping or wiring—and map out the work steps with images.
2
Integrate equipment and tools
Screwdrivers, test wrenches, printers, and scanners are integrated via existing interfaces, regardless of the manufacturer.
3
Rolling out station by station
Once the pilot station is up and running, additional workstations follow. At HA-BE, the next workstations were added just a few months after the launch.

Let us know in advance which workstation you’d like to secure. That way, someone familiar with manufacturing and control panel construction will be present during the meeting.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
It checks and documents joining processes such as screwing, riveting, and crimping, including torque and rotation angle.
Yes. Operators view each step of the respective variant with an image and acknowledge it. HA-BE thus manufactures custom orders individually.
Quality-relevant data is archived in an audit-proof manner, in compliance with GoBD and OAIS standards. Data from legacy systems can also be imported.
Yes, the platform is manufacturer-independent. At Knorr-Bremse, Atlas Copco and Saltus screwdriving systems were connected via interfaces; at HA-BE, screwdriver controls, label printers, and component holders were integrated.
