Control panel design

The foundation for your project’s success: customised control panel design by WHP solutions.

You ask, we design

From idea to implementation.

With our professional control panel design, we support you from the very beginning of your project and ensure that everything runs smoothly.

Thanks to extensive experience across many industries, we create solutions tailored exactly to your requirements. We have successfully completed projects in:

Systems & manufacturers we work with

Our approach

How we design your control panel.

Three steps, one goal: a safe, efficient and standards-compliant system.

01

Concept development

We take up your ideas and develop them further with our expertise. We advise you along the way and make suggestions to keep your project efficient and safe.

02

Safety engineering

Risk assessment as a key element: using software such as Sistema, we analyse your system and define the required SIL/PL – implemented with safety relays and safety controllers from Siemens, Pilz or Schmersal.

03

Implementation with Eplan

From structuring to EN standards, schematics and 3D layout to variant management and wire routing – with Eplan Electric P8 and Eplan Pro Panel we cover every aspect.

The digital twin

Experienced virtually. Transferred seamlessly into reality.

With a digital twin, we let you experience the planned control panel virtually and ensure a seamless transition into reality.

01

Optimised layout & wiring

Component placement is optimised and wiring is planned efficiently – for a compact, well-organised design.

02

Better collaboration & communication

Engineers, electricians and customers work on the same model. This improves communication and reduces misunderstandings.

03

Exports

From CNC machining data to wire lists for automated wire harness production – for a smooth transition into manufacturing.

For the North American market

Design to UL and CSA standards.

Is your machine or plant going to the USA or Canada? Then we design your control panels to the right standards from the start. The basis is the machinery standard NFPA 79, on which the standards for industrial control panels build: UL 508A for the USA and CSA C22.2 No. 286 for Canada. This is where we are experts – from selecting approved components to complete documentation.

On request, we also build the control panels ourselves – UL or CSA certified. Find out more under panel building.

From design to manufacturing

All the data. In the workshop, on time.

For control panel manufacturing, we create all the necessary exports. This ensures a smooth transition from design to production and your system is completed on schedule.
