Control panel and electrical design for Australian food and beverage manufacturers. Compliant to AS/NZS 61439 and AS/NZS 3000, built so the panel is serviceable and extendable for years after commissioning.
Control panel and electrical design for Australian food and beverage manufacturers. Compliant to AS/NZS 61439 and AS/NZS 3000, built so the panel is serviceable and extendable for years after commissioning.
MCC layouts, schematics, cable schedules, panel builds and site installation. Compliant to AS/NZS 61439 and AS/NZS 3000.
Panel engineering is based on AS/NZS 61439 for low-voltage switchgear assemblies, AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules and the relevant machine safety obligations under AS 4024. Components are selected for realistic availability, spare parts coverage and environmental ratings suited to washdown, dust or high-temperature areas. Typical component families include Allen-Bradley Compact GuardLogix, Siemens S7-1500F, Pilz safety relays, Phoenix Contact terminals and managed industrial switches. Segregation, earthing, short-circuit withstand and thermal management are defined early so the panel does not need a late-stage redesign once the manufacturer is mid-build.
Documentation is treated as a core deliverable, not an afterthought. We produce schematic sets, single-line diagrams, terminal plans, cable schedules, network layouts and I/O lists using revision-controlled templates. Drawings include clear cross-referencing and consistent device tags so electricians and commissioning staff can work confidently under time pressure. Functional descriptions, sequence narratives and alarm/interlock matrices connect the electrical design with the control behaviour. In regulated environments, documentation packs are aligned with GMP expectations including controlled revisions and handover registers. On a recent utility plant upgrade with multiple contractors sharing scope, the clear drawings and tagging prevented duplicate terminations and removed rework during SAT.
Design outputs move directly into manufacture, factory testing and installation. We coordinate with panel builders on enclosure layout, wire duct capacity, heat dissipation, gland plate arrangement and test points so workshop assembly proceeds efficiently. Where required, FAT procedures cover point-to-point testing, power-up checks, network validation and simulated I/O proving before dispatch. During installation, we support cable routing, termination checks, loop testing and redline management to keep drawings current. On projects with tight outages, such as replacing a main process panel over a single weekend, this level of detail is what makes the cutover viable. Our engineers stay involved through commissioning and as-built completion so the final package reflects site reality.
We can provide design-only packages or stay engaged through build, FAT and installation. Many clients use us to bridge design intent with workshop execution so defects are identified before site delivery.
AS/NZS 61439 and AS/NZS 3000 are commonly central, with AS 4024 applied for machinery safety contexts. The exact set depends on equipment type, site policy and regulatory obligations.
Yes. We often convert legacy drawing sets into structured digital packages with consistent tags, cross-references and revision history so maintenance teams can troubleshoot and modify systems with confidence.
