Two Ways to Start a Custom Control Panel Project
Build-to-Print Control Panel Manufacturing
Choose build-to-print manufacturing when your electrical design has already been approved.
You provide the electrical drawings, panel layout, BOM, labeling rules, and test requirements. UniRegal reviews the documents for manufacturability, component availability, and specification conflicts before production.
This route is suitable for OEMs and system integrators that need consistent construction without transferring control of the original design.
Design-and-Build Control Panels
Choose design-and-build support when you have an application requirement but do not yet have a complete manufacturing package.
You can provide an I/O list, control sequence, single-line diagram, motor or load schedule, and site conditions. The required electrical architecture, enclosure, components, and documentation are then defined for approval before manufacturing.
This route is suitable for new equipment, retrofit projects, and systems involving several electrical or automation functions.
What Can Be Customized?
Electrical Architecture
The panel can be configured around the project voltage, connected loads, control power, protection requirements, and field wiring arrangement.
Available functions may include:
- Main isolation and circuit protection
- Power distribution
- Relay-based control
- PLC and remote I/O
- HMI operator interfaces
- VFD or soft-starter integration
- Motor protection
- Alarm and safety interlocks
- Industrial communication
- Remote monitoring interfaces
Component Selection
Components can be selected according to an approved vendor list, regional availability, or the customer’s installed equipment base.
Supported component ecosystems may include Siemens, Schneider Electric, ABB, Mitsubishi, Omron, Allen-Bradley, Eaton, Delta, and other specified brands.
Final component availability is confirmed before quotation.
Enclosure and Installation Conditions
The enclosure must match the actual operating environment rather than only the internal components.
The technical review should consider:
- Indoor or outdoor installation
- Ambient temperature
- Dust, humidity, and condensation
- Corrosive exposure
- Required IP rating
- Carbon steel or stainless steel
- Wall-mounted or floor-standing construction
- Cable entry direction
- Ventilation or cooling requirements
- Maintenance and door-clearance limitations
When Is a Custom Control Panel the Right Choice?
A custom panel is normally required when standard products cannot match the electrical system, field devices, or installation conditions.
Typical situations include:
- The panel must match existing machinery or field wiring.
- The customer has an approved BOM or preferred component brand.
- PLC, HMI, VFD, and motor control functions must be combined.
- The enclosure dimensions or cable entry points are restricted.
- Several industrial communication protocols must be integrated.
- The project requires specific drawings, labels, or FAT records.
- The same design must be produced repeatedly for multiple machines or sites.
If the project only requires one specific function, a dedicated motor control panel, main distribution board, MCC panel, PLC control panel, or pump control panel may provide a clearer and more economical solution.
Information Required for an Accurate Quotation
Providing complete technical information reduces clarification rounds, redesign, and component-selection errors.
Information | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
Single-Line Diagram | Defines incoming power and distribution architecture |
Electrical Schematics | Defines wiring and control functions |
Bill of Materials | Identifies required components and brands |
I/O List | Determines PLC and terminal capacity |
Control Sequence | Defines operating logic and interlocks |
Motor or Load Schedule | Determines protection and switching requirements |
Supply Voltage and Frequency | Determines component electrical ratings |
Installation Environment | Determines enclosure material and protection |
Communication Requirements | Defines PLC, HMI, VFD, and field-device integration |
Standards or Certification Requirements | Determines the applicable engineering and manufacturing scope |
Quantity and Delivery Destination | Affects production planning and export preparation |
If complete drawings are unavailable, start with the application, voltage, connected equipment, control requirements, installation environment, and destination country.
Engineering and Manufacturing Process
1. Requirement Review
We review the available drawings, specifications, I/O information, loads, environment, and project standards.
2. Technical Clarification
Missing information, incompatible components, and interface risks are identified before the quotation or production stage.
3. Drawing and BOM Confirmation
The electrical architecture, component list, enclosure configuration, and documentation scope are submitted for approval where required.
4. Panel Assembly and Wiring
Components are installed, wired, and labeled according to the approved manufacturing documents.
5. Inspection and FAT
The panel is inspected and tested according to the agreed FAT scope.
6. Documentation and Shipment
Approved or as-built documents, test records, and export packing are prepared according to the order requirements.
Factory Acceptance Testing
The FAT scope should be agreed upon before production because different projects require different levels of validation.
Testing may include:
- Component and nameplate verification
- Mechanical installation inspection
- Wire continuity and terminal verification
- Power-on testing
- Control-voltage verification
- Digital and analog I/O testing
- PLC and HMI communication checks
- VFD communication and parameter checks
- Alarm, interlock, and sequence simulation
- Labeling and drawing consistency review
A FAT report or inspection record can be included in the project documentation when specified in the quotation.
Available Project Documentation
Depending on the agreed supply scope, the documentation package may include:
- Approved electrical schematics
- As-built drawings
- Bill of materials
- Panel layout
- Terminal plan
- I/O list
- Cable or connection schedule
- PLC and HMI program backup
- Component datasheets
- FAT or inspection report
- Packing list
Required document formats and languages should be confirmed before ordering.
What Affects Price and Lead Time?
Custom control panel pricing cannot be determined by enclosure size alone.
The main commercial factors include:
- Completeness of the customer’s engineering documents
- Number and type of PLC I/O points
- Quantity and power rating of VFDs or motor starters
- Enclosure size, material, and protection rating
- Component brand and regional availability
- Programming and HMI development requirements
- FAT complexity and witness-testing requirements
- Required drawings, reports, and certification scope
- Prototype, project-batch, or repeat-production quantity
Submitting an approved BOM and complete drawings normally enables a faster and more accurate quotation.
Typical Applications
Custom control panels can be manufactured for:
- OEM machinery and packaged equipment
- Manufacturing and production lines
- Water and wastewater systems
- HVAC and building automation
- Pumps, fans, and compressors
- Material handling systems
- Process automation
- Infrastructure and utility projects
- Retrofit and equipment-upgrade projects
The panel architecture is selected according to the equipment, operating sequence, maintenance requirements, and site conditions.
