In today's manufacturing landscape, production requires 24/7 operations in order to keep up with demand and adapt to changes in consumer preferences. Add in the fact that modern manufacturing takes place in almost any geographic area or environment around the world - many of which are in harsh or extreme climates - and you have a crucible that requires durable, reliable cooling systems for optimized production processes.

However, this is easier said than done, and because manufacturers are asked to accomplish more with less in variant-rich industrial environments, enclosure climate control systems can often go overlooked when designing an industrial automation framework. Just as serving your home air conditioner can help ensure reliable operation all summer, manufacturers can take some similar steps - as well as some macro-level considerations - to help ensure efficient, targeted cooling during the hot summer months and within harsh environments.

Let's look at three steps manufacturers
