Hardware engineering

Our hardware engineers plan and design your control cabinets. In addition to creating schematic drawings on CAD (Eplan), we provide the necessary equipment lists, draw plant layouts if required and prepare cable and material lists. We are also able to advise you in the areas of equipment labelling, the selection of suitable devices or specify drives for you.

 

Cabinet construction

Whether small operating stations, field boxes or control cabinets with several fields, together with our partner we produce control cabinets of any kind. In addition to the usual hardware for the detection of sensors and control of actuators, our scope of supply also includes topics such as safety, valve terminals, the integration of power measurements or the design for special environmental conditions (temperature, dust and humidity, ATEX, etc.). Thanks to UL certification, we deliver worldwide and also organize the necessary transport on request. All control cabinets are inspected and tested at the factory by our experts. This allows a smooth and efficient commissioning at the customer's site.

Production reliability thanks to suitable components

Spare parts

Our experts can advise you on the evaluation of suitable successor models or help you to organize your spare parts. We are in constant contact with our partners and suppliers and will inform you about the current availability in the market.

 

Retrofit

Control replacement, partial or complete conversion, ICS Automation AG has specialized for years in the efficient modernization of running production plants and machines. We also advise you in the areas of safety, interfaces or drive technology.

Troubleshooting

Breakdowns due to problems or defective hardware? Feel free to contact us even in emergencies. We support you spontaneously and are available with our experts as well as our internal equipment at any time to guide you back into production as quickly as possible.

 

Planning & organization

Planning

The correct preparation is the basis for every commissioning. Our specialists are therefore available to take on extended planning tasks to coordinate the individual preparation work, organize the necessary materials and equipment for the conversion, and provide advice throughout the entire phase.

 

Supervision

During the installation and construction phase, various parties are often involved, resulting in interfaces and dependencies. Our experience has shown that an expert on site increases installation quality and significantly improves the efficiency of installation. This increases the chance of on-time and trouble-free commissioning. Together with ICS Mechanical AG, we offer electrical as well as mechanical installation supervision to support you accordingly during this phase.

Installation

Are you looking for a competent installation company to carry out the electrical installation on site? We will be happy to advise you on the selection of installation specialists or to take over this task completely for you. Thanks to frequent installations, we are well networked worldwide and have access to competent partners.

Commissioning

Especially for retrofit projects or smaller modifications, it makes sense to do the tasks on our own. Most of our engineers have an electrical background and thus the necessary skills to carry out small conversions directly on their own. This simplifies planning and preparation massively and enables efficient commissioning and testing of the new components.
