Making electrical infrastructure fit for future challenges with greater safety and speed – that is the goal of the new technology partnership between ABB and Rittal. Working together to create innovations for the European and international market will significantly accelerate the development and expansion of electrical infrastructure. The basis for joint developments is formed by RiLineX as the new standard platform for busbar systems, Ri4Power as a modular system kit for power distribution, market-leading switchgear and efficient uninterruptible power supplies.
The partnership brings together two global technology leaders in their respective domains for joint developments: ABB as an innovative manufacturer of intelligent, networked and secure power supplies, and Rittal as a leading supplier of switchgear system technology and power distribution platforms. With 75% faster assembly and an innovative platform approach, RiLineX sets the new standard for power distribution – further driven by a growing ecosystem of tried-and-tested technology partners.
"We are delighted to be transforming our long-standing collaboration with ABB in the field of uninterruptible power supply for data centres and switchgear and control technology for power distribution into a global technology partnership. We will be expanding our RiLineX and Ri4Power platforms with joint innovations in the future," says Uwe Scharf, Managing Director Sales Germany and Europe at Rittal.
"This partnership combines advanced low-voltage technology and proven power distribution platforms to deliver superior results for panel builders," said Piero-Giorgio Schiannini, Head of Smart Power & Smart Buildings Sales and Marketing, ABB Electrification. "Seamless compatibility between ABB solutions like Tmax XT and Rittal's Ri4Power systems creates a better customer experience—one that reduces complexity, shortens project timelines, and ensures reliable performance."
