The goal

The ENYGUIDE from Hensel was developed back in 2008 for the configuration of ENYSTAR enclosures. It is a 3D tool for the configuration of electrical distribution systems.

The aim was to update the software to a modern and future-orientated web framework in order to create a user-friendly and intuitive solution for the safe planning of Hensel distribution systems.

To do this, the configurator must be able to mechanically construct the distributions and perform validations, e.g. of electrotechnical values and power loss analyses. This is why ENYGUIDE 3.0 has not only been fundamentally redesigned, but also replaced by completely new software.

All old projects, users and other important information have been preserved. Hensel can maintain the logical rules and data of the configurator itself – a huge advantage for Hensel in order to remain flexible and independent.

The solution

The configurator for distribution systems is used as an online tool for end customers as well as electrical installers, wholesalers and electrical planners. The focus is on ease of use, which should be intuitive for all user groups.

After selecting the product group in the first step, the user is guided through various options for customising their distribution system and adding accessories. The requirements and possible accessories vary depending on the distribution system – the user is only shown what is technically feasible. These related factors and the complex background calculations for power loss and electronic values are taken into account by the configurator in real time.</p

Information texts, product images and the 3D visualisation help the user to easily find their way around and prevent uncertainties. The drag & drop configuration option is a convenient tool to help users reach their goal quickly.

The 3D configurator takes into account all the required parts of the distribution systems, automatically places the required accessories (e.g. flanges) and checks which walls of the distribution system need to be open or closed. As soon as the distribution system has been configured, it can be ordered via ELBRIDGE in the web shops of various wholesalers.

The benefits

Customised product design

Every distribution system is different. It is created from the variation of distribution and accessories. With CONFIGON, every user can create their own customised solution and cover their needs. All electrotechnical tests are taken care of, meaning that every finished configuration is technically usable and can be produced without further checks.

Networking and relieving employees

CONFIGON acts as the interface between sales, production, design and the customer. The configurator is closely linked to the CRM, PIM, ERP and other interfaces. The configurator is used to fulfil standard customer service tasks, and 3D data is transferred, processed and forwarded to the relevant departments. Time and costs are saved.

Independent data and rule maintenance

Thanks to simple interfaces and advanced maintenance tools, Hensel can maintain the articles, rules and product data independently – without any programming knowledge. Costs for maintenance or time-consuming coordination with the development team are saved.

Experience intuitive configuration

Thanks to the real-time 3D visualisation and drag & drop configuration, users can configure their distribution system intuitively. This makes configuration and assembly a natural experience. The user can check everything from different perspectives to ensure that everything fits.
