Control Panel Building
Electrical Control Panel Systems for Industrial Applications
In industrial environments where safety, efficiency, and process control are critical, a well-designed industrial electrical control panel plays a central role in ensuring smooth and compliant operations. At CW Electrical & Automation, we specialise in building electrical control panels engineered for reliability and tailored to the complex demands of modern industrial facilities.
With extensive experience across manufacturing plants, warehouses, and process industries, our team delivers custom electrical control panels that integrate seamlessly with your existing infrastructure. Whether you require advanced automation, improved safety protocols, or enhanced energy management, our solutions are designed to meet strict Australian compliance requirements, including AS/NZS 61439 for low-voltage switchgear and control gear assemblies.
Every control panel is built with precision engineering to support long-term operational performance, improve equipment safety, and reduce downtime.
Typical applications include:
- Conveyor system controls
- Machine process automation
- Traffic management solutions
- Truck product heating systems
- Industrial refrigeration control
- Motor control and variable speed drive integration
CAD Schematics & Component Layout Diagrams
We design and produce detailed CAD schematics and component layout diagrams for all our control boards to ensure clarity, compliance and ease of installation.
Industrial Labelling
We provide professional industrial labelling solutions using the Brady BMP71 Label Maker, known for its durability and performance in demanding environments.
Our services cover a full range of labelling requirements, including
All labels are produced to withstand harsh industrial environments, including exposure to heat, moisture, chemicals, and UV radiation. By implementing correct and permanent labelling practices, we help you reduce maintenance time, improve workplace safety, and meet regulatory compliance standards, including those outlined in AS/NZS 3000 (Wiring Rules) and AS/NZS 61439.
Wire and Cable Marking
Clear, heat-resistant labels to simplify fault finding, maintenance, and future upgrades.
Equipment and Panel Labelling
Durable identification labels for control panels, switchboards, and field devices to ensure operational clarity and compliance with safety standards.
Field Device Identification
Accurate tagging of sensors, actuators, and critical field devices to streamline troubleshooting and system diagnostics.
Variable Speed Drives & PLCs
Alongside building electrical control panels, we provide expert integration and programming for advanced automation systems. Our team works with leading PLC platforms such as Allen Bradley, Omron, and Siemens, delivering reliable, scalable control solutions tailored to your site’s needs.
We specialise in:
- PLC Programming & Troubleshooting – Custom control logic development and system optimisation.
- Variable Speed Drives (VSD) Integration – Efficient motor control for energy savings and improved performance.
- Soft Starter Configuration – Minimise mechanical stress and extend motor life during startups.
- Complete Motor & Process Control Solutions – Designed for seamless operation and safety compliance.

Our upgrade services improve system performance, enhance safety protections, and increase energy efficiency—all while ensuring compliance with current Australian Standards, including AS/NZS 61439.
We assess your existing infrastructure and recommend cost-effective upgrade solutions that extend equipment life, reduce downtime, and support future automation requirements.
Electrical Control Panel Repair
We provide expert repair services for industrial electrical control panels, helping you quickly resolve faults and restore critical systems to full operation. Our technicians specialise in diagnosing issues and performing precise control panel electrical wiring repairs, component replacements, and system adjustments to minimise downtime and maintain reliable performance.
We can replace or repair key components including:
- Circuit breakers and protection devices
- Relays and contactors
- PLCs and I/O modules
- Power supplies and transformers
- Terminal blocks and wiring looms
All repairs are completed in line with Australian Standards, ensuring your equipment operates safely and efficiently well into the future.
The Role of Industrial Electrical Control Panels in Safe, Compliant Operations
Enhanced Safety and Risk Mitigation
A modern industrial electrical control panel is fundamental to maintaining a safe working environment. These systems provide continuous monitoring of critical equipment and electrical infrastructure, enabling early fault detection and automatic shutdowns to prevent electrical fires, arc faults, and equipment failures. Properly designed panels support compliance with key Australian Standards, including AS/NZS 61439 and AS/NZS 3000, helping you meet your legal obligations and reduce workplace safety risks.
Compliance with Australian Standards
Failure to comply with electrical safety standards exposes businesses to serious regulatory and legal consequences. Our control panels are built to ensure full compliance with all relevant Australian requirements, including correct fault protection, isolation provisions, and labelling. Investing in compliant infrastructure helps avoid costly penalties, reduces insurance risks, and ensures the ongoing safety of personnel and assets.
Remote Monitoring for Safer Operations
Access to remote monitoring and control capabilities allows critical systems to be managed without exposing personnel to hazardous environments. This improves response times in the event of a fault and ensures that safety protocols can be enforced even when operating remotely, further reducing risk to staff and maintaining operational oversight.
