Gross Schaltschrankbau turns technical requirements into a coordinated overall electrical solution. Design and engineering combine clarification of functions, dimensioning, project-specific component selection, interface coordination and the preparation of reliable manufacturing documents. Responsibilities, target markets, standards and approvals are defined at the outset so that decisions remain traceable.
Starting point
Specification, functional description or existing documentation
Scope of services
Overall design, coordination and component selection
Results
Technical concept and approved planning basis
Typical starting situations
New machine or plant
When functional requirements need to be turned into an electrical concept suitable for manufacturing.
Variant or customer-specific adaptation
When existing standards are used but components, interfaces or target-market requirements are adapted.
Modernisation or retrofit
When existing documentation, available components and new requirements are brought together into a reliable target state.
Transition to series production
When a one-off cabinet needs to be transferred to optimised series production.
Project workflow
The process is adapted to project size, maturity and the agreed responsibilities.
Design and engineering answer the questions that must be settled before the first schematic: which functions does the plant need to perform, how are supply and loads designed, which interfaces exist – and who decides on standards and conformity?
These questions are interrelated. Component selection without a clarified target market can fail in export; a design without known operating conditions remains an assumption. That is why design begins by organising the requirements, not by drawing.
We work with the data available. Anything missing is documented and marked as an assumption – so that it remains clear later what a decision was based on and what changes if an assumption no longer applies.
The result is an approved design basis on which schematic design and manufacturing can build without further queries.
01
Record functions, performance data, standards and open issues.
02
Define responsibilities, deliverables, interfaces and deadlines.
03
Coordinate supply, protection, control and components.
04
Turn technical decisions into a consistent planning basis.
05
Check the planning status internally and with the client.
06
Provide the approved status for documentation and manufacturing.
Scope of services
The specific scope depends on which decisions have already been made and whether Gross Schaltschrankbau handles only the design or also schematic design, manufacturing and testing.
Clear scope
This page covers the project-specific overall electrical design up to an approved planning basis. Pure decision consulting, detailed electrical documentation and physical manufacturing each have their own scope.
Design & Engineering
Overall design, coordination and project-specific component selection for the specific order.
Consulting & Technical Design
Decision bases, dimensioning and recommendations, even before a complete design engineering order is in place.
Electrical Schematics
Document approved technical decisions in EPLAN, bills of materials, terminal diagrams and manufacturing documents.
Manufacturing
Physical implementation of the approved documentation, covered on a separate service page.
Required information
Incomplete data can initially be structured together. Before binding design decisions are made, however, assumptions, responsibilities and approvals must be clearly defined.
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.
