# How Proboards Delivered a Smarter Data Centre Project with Rittal and EPLAN

By Rittal on Jun 10, 2025, 8:40:49 AM

In the fast-moving world of data centre development, precision, speed, and scalability are critical.

When Proboards, a leading manufacturer of Mechanical Services Switchboards, was tasked with delivering a large-scale data centre project, they knew their enclosure and design system needed to be up to the challenge. Working alongside **APS Industrial**, the national distributor of Rittal, the Proboards team found the ideal match in **Rittal AE Compact Enclosures**, backed by digital design through **EPLAN ProPanel**.

From the start, the integration between **Rittal’s enclosure ecosystem** and EPLAN’s 3D design software meant fewer delays, faster assembly, and greater design control. With Rittal’s IP66-rated AE Compact Enclosures already specified, the team could meet performance expectations while navigating space limitations and tight delivery timelines.

**The result?** A streamlined design and assembly process, seamless documentation, and a scalable solution ready for future data centre phases.

*“Everything we needed was there. Integrating the system with EPLAN ProPanel made the whole design and build process much easier.”* — Chris, Director, Proboards Pty Ltd

This case study highlights how the right combination of product and digital engineering can accelerate outcomes in complex infrastructure environments.

**Read the full case study and discover how digital tools and enclosure performance go hand in hand.**
