WAGO printers offer excellent value for money and high-quality marking accessories. However, more important than the product itself is how well all these elements fit together perfectly.
For control cabinets, the prerequisite for achieving economic marking is to print the markings conveniently and accurately, which is exactly what the WAGO marking system can provide.
In addition, WAGO's newly launched smartSCRIPT tagging software is another plus.
“Should a system shut down just because of a connection failure? Finding a solution quickly is key,” said Barbara Tiemann, Product Manager for Electrical Connections at WAGO . After all, the damage caused by a fault can sometimes reach millions of dollars. “So when you open the cabinet, you want to be able to quickly find the fault,” Tiemann said, which highlights the importance of terminal block labeling.
The perfect fusion of all elements
“As part of Industry 4.0 , machines and systems will operate in a network,” Tiemann described the environment for industrial companies. “The controllers in the control cabinets must also take this into account.” This is precisely where WAGO focuses its attention. “We don’t want to just provide cost-effective printers or high-quality marking strips,” Tiemann said.
"More importantly, there is a system that is readily available to customers, helping them to mark information quickly, economically, and accurately." How well such a system can be integrated into daily business operations depends on how customers choose it. This is precisely where Wanke scores: its system includes free software, cost-effective printers, and optimized marking materials.
Provides design templates
“Each element can also be controlled by other system components,” Tiemann described the WAGO system’s compatibility. For example, planning data in a CAE system can be directly transmitted to a printer. All information can smoothly reach its destination through the interface.
Highlight: The software can automatically adjust the size of the input text based on the available space, as the system sets a maximum number of characters, an optimal size, and a font. "This is how we ensure every markup is clear and legible," Tiemann explained.
Finally, the labeling not only needs to meet industry standards, but most importantly, it must be clear and unambiguous. "Because it's like a business card for the control cabinet manufacturer," Tiemann said.
New software: Intuitive and more fun
WAGO has once again improved and optimized its smartSCRIPT marking software. The new version of WAGO smartSCRIPT software is designed for marking professionals and can be customized to meet specific user requirements. The software is simple and intuitive to use, suitable for almost all control cabinet marking applications.
With this modern labeling software, users can easily and quickly complete tasks with just a few clicks, such as creating personalized nameplates, defining and printing barcodes and graphic elements using smartSCRIPT.
Product advantages:
▷ Modern Design: Simple and Intuitive Workflow
▷ One software for multiple applications: easy to use, integrates printer drivers and all settings
Suitable for virtually all control cabinet labeling tasks: professional labeling of terminal blocks, labels, nameplates, and cable markings.
Tiemann, who participated in the process as a beta tester, was convinced that the software's modern and intuitive user interface would allow users to easily operate various functions. "Could you make it bigger and clearer?" she asked. Everyone is familiar with this scene when faced with new software: users are suddenly confronted with numerous unfamiliar elements and feel overwhelmed.
However, the symbols and functions of the smartSCRIPT marking software are carefully designed and arranged, similar to common software. Therefore, a brief introductory guide is sufficient to familiarize customers with and correctly use the entire software, and no printer driver installation is required; users can launch it directly.
In addition, various shortcuts provide users with numerous conveniences. The smartSCRIPT software is truly an all-rounder. "It can not only label control cabinets and terminal blocks, but also wires." Various WAGO external products can also generate labels using this software.
