Currently, most operations for control panel manufacturing are done manually, with few options for automation. Existing documents must be revised manually for new projects using a variety of software programs that typically can't be integrated with one another. This often makes it difficult for manufacturers to maintain revision control among the documents as modifications are made to the products. In this article, Patrick Boyer, writer for Assembly Magazine, discusses initial steps to take when building a control panel and wiring the panels, and benefits manufacturers will receive from automating their system.
