For decades, automation components were placed in a protective electrical cabinet and wired to the outside machinery. Planning and execution paid dividends, as these critical devices remained safe and secure inside the enclosure, which is still a viable option. Thermal-management solutions continue to evolve, keeping cabinets cool.
