Frequently Asked Questions

Do you manufacture panels for hazardous locations?

We can manufacture UL 698A Listed panels for use in non-classified locations that have extensions into hazardous location. For a panel meant to be installed in a hazardous location we can advise on component suitability and build to the customer’s specifications.

Do you have design and/or engineering capabilities?

While we do not offer engineering services, we do have a limited capacity to provide schematic design. Additionally, we have 3rd party partners who can assist with PLC programming and more complex schematics.

What lead time should I expect

Lead times depend on complexity and material availability. Typical ranges are 4–8+ weeks; expedited options are available for critical needs.

Can you build panels to match our existing PLC/HMI brand?

Yes, we are brand-agnostic and can assemble panels that use Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Schneider, Eaton, and other popular OEM components.

What is UL 508A and why does it matter?

UL 508A is the UL standard for industrial control panels. It demonstrates that a panel was assembled under recognized safety and quality practices, which helps with code compliance and inspector acceptance. (Show certification or file number if you have one.)
