We offer Control Panel Audit and Reverse Engineering Services, intended for existing control panels that are suspected of having out of date drawings or none at all. Existing control panels over time are subject to circuit tweaks, additions and removals and can result in original drawings no longer representing the actual control panel. This can be costly during fault-finding downtimes and in some scenarios could lead to hazardous incidents.

Selecting one or all options below, send us a copy of your existing drawings and an initial photograph of the control panel. We will then submit our quotation for your review. Upon acceptance, we will arrange a site survey to undertake the services selected.
* Older control panels may be designed/manufactured pre BS EN 60204-1 or to older versions of the standard. In this or any other instance, verification against the latest edition of BS EN 60204-1 identifies disparities, and in doing so provides you with the opportunity to assess potential remedial / upgrade works.
Ideal for when original drawings are suspected to be out of date, no longer available or only available in PDF or hard-copy formats. We offer three variations of service: –
Send us a copy of your existing drawings, an initial photograph of the control panel and parts list where available. We will then submit a quotation for your review. Drawings shall then be reproduced using EPLAN Pro-Panel, or similar, and supplied in DWG or PDF formats. Depending on the clarity of existing drawings, a site-visit maybe required.
Send us a copy of your existing drawings and an initial photograph of the control panel and parts list where available. We will then submit our quotation for your review. Upon acceptance, we will arrange a site survey and audit existing drawings against your control panel, identifying undocumented circuit additions or removals in the process. Drawings shall then be reproduced using EPLAN Pro-Panel, or similar, and supplied in DWG or PDF formats.
Send us relevant photographs of the control panel where we will assess the size and status with a follow-up, initial site visit. We will then submit our quotation for your review. Upon acceptance, we will arrange a full site survey whose duration is dependent upon the control panel size. Drawings shall then be reproduced using EPLAN Pro-Panel, or similar, and supplied in DWG or PDF formats.
