Slimming Down Cable Harnesses

Italian manufacturer of machinery for material handling Dieci and Würth Elektronik ICS are expanding their partnership. For the past three years, Dieci has implemented the REDline Power Box Hybrid as a combined high-current fuse box, electrical distribution box, and CAN bus splitter. Now, two additional versions of the unit are going into series production. REDline Power Boxes are a platform concept developed by Würth Elektronik ICS for customer-specific power distribution solutions, which includes a standard box with a customer-specific circuit board with fuses and relays. With the help of these boxes, Dieci was able to considerably reduce the size of the cable harnesses of its telehandlers.
