Electronic interfaces

What electronic interfaces does Rittal offer?

1. OCI transfer with the Rittal Online Shop

With the OCI interface we offer our customers the possibility to import shopping carts into their own system. Afterwards you can initiate the order from your system.

Prerequisites for this are a valid registration to the Rittal Online Shop and the integration of the individual call parameter in your system. You can carry out this connection yourself. Please contact your local IT with the following information.

Registration

To use the OCI interface, you need a valid online shop account. If you do not have an account yet, please register using the registration form of your local country shop.

Implementation

After the successful registration you can create the individual call link with your access data and the parameters necessary for you.

The call link should be structured as follows:

https://www.rittal.com/de-de/shop/oci-login?login=your email address&password=your password&id=oci&SENDFORM=POST&MATGRP=ECLASS80&TARGET=_top&PREVENT_REDIRECT=true&HOOK_URL=your return address

2. Electronic catalogs

A resource providing data to describe products. It contains far more information than printed catalogues, and can be searched for specific data. Because it is based on standards, the data structure is familiar, enabling recipients to process the data in a meaningful way, for example, to select and order products.

Alongside wholesalers, a growing number of direct clients are now also turning to electronic catalogues, because they are comprehensive, tested, and clearly defined. Engineers can also incorporate the data into their plans. Electronic catalogues from Rittal use codes to enable them to be used internationally. The file format is based on an XML structure.

The XML-based, standardised file format BMEcat is used to exchange product information and conditions.

Your benefits:

  • Simple, fast processing of product data
  • Up-to-date, individual product prices in your system
  • Error-free transmission of product data and fewer mistakes in orders

Advantages:

  • Data plays a central role: Our customers benefit from our digitalization progress.
  • Clear structuring of product data in a file
  • Time savings and simplification of order processes
  • Improved quality of master data

The two data models offered by Rittal are ETIM and eCl@ss, as outlined below:
