Control Panel Capabilities, From Drawings to Delivery

One shop for panel construction, UL compliance, documentation, and practical project support. Here is exactly how we can support a project.

01 Custom industrial control panels

Designed and built to your specifications

ACT builds custom control panels to your drawings, specifications, bills of material, and project requirements — and when the drawing package does not exist yet, we can develop the electrical design and AutoCAD documentation in-house. We focus on clean assembly, organized wire routing, consistent labeling, careful component placement, serviceability, and communication throughout the build.

Typical project types include:

  • PLC and remote I/O control panels
  • Pump and motor control panels
  • VFD control systems and panels
  • SCADA interface and I/O panels
  • Process-control panels
  • Equipment and skid control panels
  • Power-distribution and control enclosures
  • Custom panels for water and wastewater applications

02 UL 508A construction & listing

A UL 508A certified panel shop, with the review that goes behind the label

ACT Solutions is a UL 508A certified panel shop and can build and label qualifying industrial control panels under its UL program. Our process is not simply placing a label on an enclosure — component suitability, protection, wiring, grounding, enclosure ratings, and required markings are reviewed as they apply to the panel.

03 Customer-supplied panels

Customer-supplied enclosures, UL evaluation, and as-built documentation

ACT can build out customer-supplied enclosures and provide UL review or listing where the panel and its components meet program requirements. This work usually includes producing or updating drawings so they match the panel as it is actually built.

  • Build-out of customer-supplied enclosures and backplates
  • UL evaluation of customer-supplied panels, where the panel qualifies
  • Drawing cleanup and as-built revisions
Not every existing panel can be labeled UL evaluation depends on the enclosure, the components installed, and the wiring methods used. We review the panel first and tell you honestly what would be required.

04 Electrical design & documentation

Drawings that match the panel that shipped

ACT can produce or update professional control-panel documentation, delivered in the formats your team and your end users actually work with.

  • Panel layouts
  • Power-distribution drawings
  • I/O drawings
  • Network drawings
  • As-built drawings
  • PDF and DWG deliverables
  • Drawing cleanup and as-built revisions for customer-supplied panels
Scope of this service This is control-panel design and documentation work. ACT is not presented as a licensed professional engineering firm, and drawings are not offered as stamped engineering deliverables.

05 Quality checks & functional testing

Checked before it leaves the shop

Verification depends on what the authorized scope includes. It helps to be precise about the difference between these levels of checking:

Construction inspection
Visual and UL construction review of components, wiring methods, grounding, markings, and enclosure suitability.
Continuity & torque
Point-to-point continuity verification against the drawings and torque verification on terminations.
Powered functional testing
Energized testing of control functions, offered when it is written into the project scope.
What functional testing does not include PLC or HMI software validation, process engineering, and field-device verification are not standard included services. If your project needs them, tell us and we will confirm in writing what is in scope and what remains with your team.

06 Sourcing, project support & delivery

The coordination around the build

When it is included in the project, ACT supports quoting, BOM review, component sourcing and procurement, production coordination, customer communication, crating, and shipment.

  • Quoting and BOM review
  • Component sourcing and procurement
  • Early notice on component lead times and availability
  • Flagging design conflicts before they reach the field
  • Production coordination and status communication
  • Crating, pickup, or shipment

Component availability and design conflicts get raised as soon as we find them, not at delivery. That early conversation is usually the difference between a schedule that holds and one that slips.
