Gross Schaltschrankbau helps industrial companies classify technical requirements, compare possible solutions and reliably design electrical components and relevant parameters. Consulting creates clarity before design, schematic design or manufacturing begins – or when individual decisions need to be validated during an ongoing project.
Starting point
Idea, requirement, choice of variants or technical problem
Focus
Basis for decisions, dimensioning and component selection
Result
Reasoned recommendation based on the given requirements
Next steps
Optionally design, schematics, manufacturing and testing
Reasons for consulting
Six typical starting situations. All of them involve making a technical decision for which the basis is still missing.
Early project phase
Clarify feasibility and the direction of the solution before a complete specification is available.
Variants and standardisation
Evaluate several possible solutions or define reusable layout concepts.
Retrofit and obsolescence
Replacement components and target architecture for discontinued or no longer available technology.
Need for capacity or expertise
Support internal teams with clearly defined questions or temporary bottlenecks.
Change during an ongoing project
Assess the impact of new loads, interfaces or customer requirements.
Technical plausibility check
Check existing concepts and assumptions for consistency.
Collaboration
The starting point is rarely a ready-made question, but rather a conflict of objectives: which solution fits the task, how must the components be dimensioned, which parts are technically and economically suitable – and which risks can already be identified?
These four questions cannot be answered separately. Dimensioning without clarified operating conditions is an estimate; component selection without a target market can fail in export. That is why consulting begins by narrowing down the question, not with the answer.
We work with what is available. Missing information is documented and marked as an assumption – so it remains clear what the recommendation is based on and what changes if an assumption no longer holds.
The result is as specific as the decision requires, and no more. Consulting does not have to lead to a complete design; it can also end with an overview of variants.
01
Define the goal, the decisions required and the project context.
02
Record documents, performance data, standards and gaps.
03
Identify suitable technical solutions and components.
04
Compare criteria, risks, dependencies and consequences.
05
Hand over the result, assumptions and next steps in a transparent way.
Scope of services
The first three columns describe the consulting service. The fourth lists the information that should come from your side.
Sharpen the question before answering it.
Determine parameters and evaluate concepts.
Make options comparable and recommend.
Information without which a targeted start is not possible.
Possible results
The handover is defined in advance. Consulting does not automatically have to lead to a complete design or electrical documentation.
Technical recommendation
Reasoned solution proposal with prerequisites, alternatives and open issues.
Basis for further work
Documented status for internal decisions, tenders, design or project engineering.
Industries
We clarify operating conditions, plant standards and acceptance criteria on a project-specific basis.
Machine & Plant Engineering
Individual machines, assembly and conveyor systems.
Automotive & Suppliers
Production lines, test rigs, intralogistics.
Energy Supply
Low-voltage distribution boards and load management.
Food Industry
Process and filling systems with hygiene requirements.
Environmental Technology
Water, wastewater, recycling and exhaust air.
Packaging Industry
Packaging systems and filling equipment
Research & Development
Test rigs, laboratories and pilot plants.
