ROLEC expands technoPLUS enclosures for industrial IoT and automation

ROLEC has added new pole-mountable technoPLUS plastic enclosures for industrial automation, IoT and IIoT deployments in harsh environments. The updated range is built for dust, moisture and washdown protection, with optional mounting and customization features for factory-floor electronics.

Why it matters: - ROLEC’s expanded technoPLUS line gives industrial operators a way to mount electronics closer to machinery, production lines and outdoor assets. - The IP66, IP67 and IP69K protection ratings make the enclosures suitable for dust, water exposure and high-pressure washdowns. - The range targets IoT, IIoT and factory automation systems that need protected hardware in demanding environments.

What happened: - ROLEC expanded its technoPLUS range of pole-mountable plastic enclosures for industrial automation, IoT and IIoT applications. - The enclosures are intended for electronics installed on machine frames, production-line supports, conveyor systems, masts and similar structures. - The company said the updated range is built for industrial environments exposed to dust, moisture and washdowns.

The details: - The enclosure lineup supports IoT and IIoT edge devices including LoRaWAN gateways, NB-IoT communications equipment, MQTT edge gateways, industrial data loggers, edge computing systems, telemetry units, wireless sensor hubs and remote PLC communications hardware. - The range also fits factory automation uses including remote I/O stations, machine condition monitoring equipment, industrial networking infrastructure, AGV and AMR systems, machine vision installations, distributed PLC architectures, environmental monitoring devices and safety technology. - technoPLUS enclosures can be mounted vertically or horizontally. - An optional pole and mast mounting accessory works with plastic or metal straps. - The mounting system allows installation with the enclosure lid closed, which helps protect internal electronics and sealing components during installation or maintenance. - Hinged polypropylene covers conceal lid screws and mounting channels. - The lid includes a recessed area for membrane keypads, faceplates or product identification labels. - Integrated lid supports hold the cover open during installation and servicing. - Internal mounting features include screw bosses for printed circuit boards, plus optional mounting plates and terminal rails. - The enclosures are molded from UV-stable ASA material and are rated UL 94 HB. - The standard colorway is light gray, RAL 7035, with anthracite gray, RAL 7016, cover trims. - The range includes five standard sizes, from 3.54" × 5.12" × 2.76" to 6.69" × 10.63" × 3.54". - ROLEC also offers customization services for technoPLUS enclosures, including CNC machining, painting, engraving, EMC shielding, printing, display integration and accessory assembly. - More information is available in ROLEC’s technoPLUS enclosure overview.

Between the lines: - The product update points to demand for enclosure systems that simplify field installation while protecting sensitive electronics in industrial settings. - The mounting and customization options suggest the technoPLUS line is meant to support both standard deployments and more specialized OEM builds.

What's next: - ROLEC is positioning technoPLUS as a configurable enclosure platform for new and existing industrial IoT and automation projects. - Customers can use the company’s customization services to adapt the enclosures for specific hardware, labeling and environmental needs.

The bottom line: - ROLEC is broadening technoPLUS as a rugged enclosure option for industrial electronics that need protection, flexibility and easier deployment in harsh locations.
