Lean Production Solutions for Cable Trays, Racks, and Electrical Cabinets in Data Centers
The construction of new data centers is a rapidly growing global phenomenon, driven by the exponential increase in demand for digital services, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence.
In Italy alone, between 2023 and 2025, 83 new data centers are expected to open, with a total investment of €15 billion (source: ANSA and REUTERS).
Globally, the capacity of data centers under construction in major North American markets grew by 70% in 2024 compared to the previous year, underscoring the massive need for infrastructure.
Among the key components required for these projects are Cable Trays, Racking Systems, and Electrical Cabinets, whose production demands highly flexible, productive, and automated machinery.

Dallan Systems for Cable Trays
Cable Trays are C-shaped metal profiles used to support and protect electrical and data cables within data centers. Their production requires flexibility and high precision to manage:
- Variable Dimensions: Automatically adjustable widths and heights (thicknesses from 0.5 to 2.5 mm).
- Speed and Productivity: Up to 15,000 meters per day with a single operator.
- Modular Perforation: Performed with 300-ton presses equipped with adjustable dies.
Dallan DOUBLE DUPLEX: Cable Tray Technology
Featuring two independent sections, the DOUBLE DUPLEX system ensures quick production changeovers and maximum flexibility. The process is completed with the Dallan Coil To Pack robotic system, which automatically packages profiles on pallets or in wooden crates.
