RiLineX
A new lightning fast platform for power distribution RiLineX from Rittal is a newly developed, open platform for power distribution systems. A click system of boards and components simplifies the previously laborious process of assembling power distribution systems in enclosures. The end result is a time saving of up to 30 percent in engineering and 50 percent in assembly compared to conventional busbar systems. A further advantage is that RiLineX boosts sustainability by reducing plastic waste and increasing decentralised supply opportunities, with fewer shipments of heavy copper required. The innovative solution has been declared a winner by the German Design Award 2025 for its product design.
