The Schaltbau NExT Factory is a pioneering production facility in Velden, Bavaria, designed for CO₂-neutral operations. Equipped with a 1.3 MW peak photovoltaic system and a 300 kWh battery storage, it utilizes a direct current (DC) network to reduce energy conversion losses by up to 15%. Including a DC-powered automated high-bay warehouse that utilizes recuperation energy to reduce peak loads by 85%. This innovative approach, combined with intelligent energy management and thermal storage, lowers energy costs by 35% and decreases public grid dependency by up to 70%. The facility spans 9,500 m² for production, 5,300 m² for storage, and 2,000 m² for offices.
