Electrical design, UL 508A panel build and integration, one team.


The engineers who draw the schematic build the panel and commission the line. From EPLAN and TIA Portal drawings to a UL 508A shop that runs high-volume OEM builds, to PLC, HMI and robot-cell programming on site — controls that work as one reliable system, because one team owned it end to end.

What we do

From schematic to start-up, under one roof.

Pick a discipline to see what runs on it and what we deliver with it. Every one of them is in Winston-Salem, next door to the fab shop that cuts the enclosure and the back panel.

Electrical design

Precision electrical design and CAD engineering.

Electrical design is not just about connecting wires — it is about connecting ideas to reality. Our engineers use EPLAN, AutoCAD Electrical and Siemens TIA Portal to create clean, detailed schematics and 3D CAD layouts that form the foundation of high-performance automation systems.

  • Who we help. OEMs, machine builders, system integrators and end users who need system efficiency, minimized downtime and advance notice of every system update.
  • Rigorous review. Every design passes an accuracy, manufacturability and compliance check before it goes to the shop — what we design is exactly what we build.
  • Smooth handoffs. The same CAD-driven package flows from engineering to panel build to commissioning, so nothing is lost between departments.

Schematics & documentation

Full electrical drawings and CAD support, delivered in the package your shop reads.

Panel layout drawings

From compact control boxes to full-scale industrial enclosures — and the door and back panel cut to match.

Enclosure Cutout Designer →
Harness & cable routing

Precision labeling, color-coded wiring and intelligent terminal plans for repeatable builds.

System simulations

Concepts tested virtually — PLCSIM, ROBOGUIDE — before a single wire is pulled.

Compliance-focused design

NFPA 79 and UL 508A adherence from the first sheet, not as a fix at inspection.

On-demand design support

Scalable services for companies that need expert help on a project-by-project basis.

Control panel build

UL 508A panel building and electrical production.

Custom-built and build-to-print control panels tailored to OEMs, integrators and end users across manufacturing, automation and process control — from a single panel to ongoing production support, with wire assemblies, turnkey kitting and reliable spare parts supply behind it.

  • Tailored solutions. Every panel matches your exact specification for peak performance in your environment.
  • Certified expertise. Siemens Solution Partner and Rockwell Certified Integrator.
  • Compliance-driven. Built to UL 508A and NFPA 79 — safety, compliance and peace of mind.
  • Scalable manufacturing. One panel or a full production run, with consistent quality.
  • Process oriented. A thorough build check-out sheet with quality-control checkpoints on every job.

Where design and production come together.

From PLC programming to full system commissioning, we make sure your controls, equipment and processes operate as one reliable system — and integrate with the operations, software and equipment you already run. General contractors get a partner who manages large projects to a defined scope; businesses on their first automation project get solutions and support through the whole process.

  • System agnostic. Best-fit vendor hardware and software chosen for your needs, designed with controls in mind.
  • Cutting-edge technology. The latest automation, robotics and controls for unparalleled efficiency.
  • Data-driven insights. Analytics for better decisions and predictive maintenance.
  • Continuous support. Ongoing support and training from a dedicated team.

Who relies on us

What partners say.

You guys have this insight that a typical panel building shop that’s just building panels and going off of a set of prints, for the most part, they don’t have design capabilities and the product knowledge. But you guys have that and it’s a big strength that we look for in a cabinet shop.

Conan StoehrSolutions Partner Manager, Siemens Think-PLC and Siemens innovate a two-in-one robot controller

They’re more than a panel builder, they’ll run cable, do the programming, the electrical drawings and all of that… It was just a can-do attitude. Nothing was really a problem. Think’s ability to problem solve and troubleshoot on the fly is one of their biggest assets.

Stephen NolanTechnical Director

For the most part, if it’s a random project out there I’m calling Bobby… I know that if Bobby works on the project, it’s going to be done and it will be done right.

Starting a panel? Start with the plate. Configure a pre-cut, pre-drilled back panel to your enclosure size, lay out the door in the Enclosure Cutout Designer, and let the shop deliver both ready to build on.
