    Panel Problems Aren't Fabrication Problems

    Black Box Engineering ·

    Most panel problems are not fabrication problems.

    They are documentation problems that surface at FAT. Component-selection problems that surface at the arc-flash study. Wire-numbering problems that surface at two in the morning during commissioning.

    We build industrial control panels in Mexico — PLC and DCS enclosures, MCC buckets and drive packages, relay and marshalling cabinets, operator stations, custom enclosures to NEMA rating. Built to UL 508A requirements with UL-listed components and a documented short-circuit current rating, and to NOM/ANCE for Mexican installations.

    Two ways to buy it:

    To our design — we own the schematic, the layout, the BOM, the build and the test. One party is responsible from drawing to FAT, and that party signs.

    Build-to-print — you issue the package and we build to it exactly. Where we see a problem it comes back as an RFI or a redline for your engineer to approve, never as an unlogged change on the shop floor. That discipline is the whole value of build-to-print.

    Panel fabrication is a standalone line. You do not have to buy an engineering scope to buy panels from us.
