Panel Building
What We Offer
Our in-house panel shop handles every stage of control panel fabrication — from automated CAD exports through to third-party inspection and factory acceptance testing. Whether you need us to build from your existing electrical designs or engineer and fabricate as a complete package, every panel is built using a digital-first workflow that ensures what gets wired matches exactly what was designed. Our services include:
Service Details
PLC & Controls Panels
Custom-built PLC and controls panels housing processors, I/O modules, communication interfaces, power supplies, and operator components. Every panel is designed for the specific application — from compact single-PLC enclosures to multi-section lineups for large-scale automation systems.
Drive Panels
Dedicated VFD and drive panels engineered for proper thermal management, cable segregation, and EMC compliance. We size enclosures and layout components to handle the heat dissipation and power requirements of your specific drive configuration.
Remote I/O & Hub Panels
Field-mounted remote I/O and hub panels for distributed architectures. These panels bring processing closer to the field devices, reducing cable runs and improving signal integrity across your plant-floor network.
Component Sourcing
We source and procure all panel components — from PLCs, drives, and circuit protection to terminals, cable management, and enclosures — through our established supply chain partnerships with Siemens, Rittal, and other major vendors. This ensures availability, competitive pricing, and compatibility across every build.
Automated CAD Export & Layout
Panel layouts, DIN rail configurations, device placements, and wire routing are exported directly from the 3D CAD design environment. This automated digital handoff eliminates manual redrawing and ensures the physical build matches the engineering design exactly — enabling compact device placement, optimized routing, and scalable production.
Device Installation & Wiring
All components are installed per the 3D-validated layout and wired using automated wire stripping, crimping, and label application. Every device is torqued to specification. Because installers work from verified 3D layouts rather than interpreting 2D prints, the result is tighter builds, fewer errors, and faster assembly.
QA/QC & Testing
Every panel goes through a comprehensive point-to-point checklist covering correct installation verification, wiring integrity, power-on testing, and individual component functionality testing. Nothing ships without passing every checkpoint.
ESA/UL & 3rd Party Inspection
Panels requiring regulatory compliance or hazardous area classification go through ESA/UL review and third-party inspections from CSA or UL as required. All documentation and labelling is prepared to support a clean inspection process.
Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT)
Customers are invited to witness a full factory acceptance test before shipment. FAT validates that the panel operates to specification under controlled conditions, giving your team confidence before it reaches the field.
Our Process
Digital Handoff & Build Preparation
Most panel shops work from printed drawings and manual markups. We start from a fully automated export out of the 3D CAD environment — panel layouts, wire lists, terminal lineups, and device labels all transfer directly into fabrication with zero manual re-entry. This is what allows us to scale production, reduce build time, and virtually eliminate the transcription errors that cost weeks on traditional builds.
Fabrication & Assembly
Components are installed according to the 3D-validated layout with automated wire stripping, crimping, and label application. Every device is torqued to spec. The 3D design accounts for DIN rail placement, cable routing, and device clearances — so what gets built matches exactly what the engineer designed, enabling device-compact wiring and cleaner overall builds.
Quality Assurance & Testing
Each panel undergoes a thorough QA/QC inspection — a comprehensive point-to-point checklist covering correct installation, wiring integrity, power-on verification, and component functionality testing. This is where we catch everything before the panel ever leaves the shop.
