Control cabinet manufacturing for industrial companies

Control cabinets for industries with diverse requirements

Every industry brings its own operating conditions, documentation obligations, plant standards and acceptance criteria. We clarify these requirements for each project instead of relying on generic standard statements.

Which industries does Gross Schaltschrankbau build control cabinets for?

Gross Schaltschrankbau manufactures control cabinets and electrical assemblies for machine and plant engineering, automotive and suppliers, energy supply, the food industry, environmental technology, the packaging industry, and research and development. The manufacturing process is the same in all industries; what differs are operating conditions, applicable standards, required verifications and the form of handover. These points are clarified before the project starts rather than assumed across the board.

Target industries

Seven industries in detail, others on request

Differences

Environment, applicable standards, documentation and acceptance

What stays the same

Process, manufacturing depth and testing methodology

Getting started

Function, place of use and existing documents

Process

How your solution is created

The path from the first conversation to the tested control cabinet follows the same structure in every industry. What differs is the depth of the individual steps: a test rig for a research institute requires different verifications than a filling system in food production.

That is why the process does not start with the quotation, but with narrowing down the requirements. Ambient conditions, target market, plant standards and the required documentation determine design, component selection and scope of testing – and therefore schedule and price.

We work with what is available. If information is missing, it is documented and marked as an assumption rather than silently set. This keeps it traceable what a design is based on.

Each step can be commissioned individually. If you only need manufacturing, you get only manufacturing; if you need the complete project, you get one contact person for all four steps.

01

Requirements

Clarify specification, interfaces, environment and standards.

02

Engineering

Prepare design, documentation and approval.

03

Manufacturing

Machine, assemble, wire and label.

04

Testing

Test, document and hand over for integration.

Industry-specific

What differs from project to project

Four areas determine how a control cabinet is designed, documented and accepted. They are clarified before the project starts – subsequent changes are costly in each of these areas.

Operating conditions

Standards and verifications

Documentation

Acceptance and handover

Services from a single source

From planning to tested handover

Engineering, manufacturing and testing are closely linked but can be ordered individually. The right scope depends on how far your documents have progressed and which steps you want to keep in-house.

Planning & Engineering

Technical clarification, design and engineering, schematic design, selection of components and interfaces.

Manufacturing

Mechanical machining, assembly and component mounting, professional wiring and cable assembly.

Testing & Quality Assurance

Visual, wiring and functional tests as well as project-specific measurements and traceable test reports.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about industries and requirements

Which industries does Gross Schaltschrankbau manufacture control cabinets for?

Seven target industries are covered in detail: machine and plant engineering, automotive and suppliers, energy supply, the food industry, environmental technology, the packaging industry, and research and development. Projects outside these industries are possible – what matters are the technical requirements, not the industry label.
The manufacturing process stays the same. What differs are operating conditions, applicable standards, required verifications, documentation format and acceptance procedures. A system in food production places different demands on degree of protection and cleanability than a laboratory test rig.
The applicable standards are determined by product type, place of use and target market. They are defined jointly at the start of the project, as is responsibility for conformity assessment and verifications.
Function or specification, place of use and ambient conditions, target market, existing documents, as well as quantity and timeframe. If individual details are missing, we clarify them in the initial meeting and document any assumptions made.
Yes, provided they are complete and approved – for example marking systems, approved component lists, templates or macro libraries. Where specifications are missing, we work to an agreed system and document it.
Yes. What matters are ambient conditions, applicable standards and test requirements. Describe your application – we will clarify whether and to what extent we can cover it.
