Small Industrial Control Panels

Precision Control. Engineered for Performance.

In modern industry, electrical control panels are custom-built, compact systems that provide high-performance control, reliable operation and seamless integration across industrial automation environments.

Even the smallest control panel plays a critical role in maintaining operational stability, process accuracy and overall system reliability, which is why operations, site, project and maintenance managers, procurement teams and SME owners across UK utilities, manufacturing, chemical, food & beverage and infrastructure look closely at panel design, build quality and long-term support.

At Total Automated Solutions, we design and manufacture compact control panels for demanding industrial applications, including small and ready-made panels, PLC and SCADA integration, variable speed drives, space-efficient engineering, lifecycle support and application-specific customisation—helping plants reduce downtime, improve performance and keep control systems dependable.

ENGINEERED WITH PRECISION

Compact systems. Maximum capability.

Every control panel we produce is engineered with the same attention to detail as large-scale control systems.

Designed around application requirements, our approach to industrial control panel design includes careful component selection and control equipment so panels integrate seamlessly into wider automation architectures and support consistent performance across your entire operation, with parts also chosen for the installation’s environmental conditions, including temperature, humidity or dust exposure. A well-organised layout, supported by cable management and DIN rail mounting minimises wiring complexity and helps avoid errors. Programmable logic controllers are commonly used in these panels and offer more flexibility than traditional relay-based logic in automation systems.

Whether standalone or part of a complex system, every solution is built to perform without compromise.

CUSTOM-BUILT FOR APPLICATION DEMAND

DESIGNED FOR RELIABILITY

Consistency under pressure.

Industrial environments demand systems that perform continuously and reliably.

Our panels are built using high-quality electronic components, robust wiring standards and rigorous testing procedures, with electrical safety and regulatory requirements treated as core priorities to ensure long-term operational stability. Proper thermal management helps prevent overheating and supports long-term reliability.

Every unit is tested prior to delivery through full inspection, functional testing and where required factory acceptance testing. These measures help ensure compliance, including EMC compliance, before handover. We design and build to relevant UK standards for electrical equipment, including compliance with BS EN 60204-1 for electrical safety, the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, and BS 7671 for electrical installations. This standard-led approach supports safe and reliable operation and promotes safe operation in service.

No two processes are the same.

Our control electrical panels are designed and manufactured to meet specific operational requirements, ensuring full compatibility with your process, environment and performance expectations. We also design and support electrical panels for different process needs across industrial automation applications and industrial automated systems, with the same focus on fit, function and long-term performance.

Depending on the application, panels may include circuit breakers, relays, control circuits and human machine interfaces to support control, operator interaction and device connections, with field wiring linking the panel to external equipment. HMIs help enhance how operators monitor and use the system. This is especially useful where visibility and response matter on a production line.

We deliver solutions for:

  • Machine control systems

  • Pump control applications

  • Motor starter panels

  • Remote telemetry interfaces

  • Building services control

  • Process automation subsystems

  • Retrofit and replacement panels

Each system is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure or new automation projects, with manufacturing quality aligned to the application and installation requirements.

SEAMLESS SYSTEM INTEGRATION

Connected by design.

Small control panels rarely operate in isolation.

In many applications, control solutions must deliver maximum capability within minimal physical footprint.

Modern control panels often connect into wider automation environments, including SCADA systems, to support monitoring and coordinated control.

Our compact panel designs are optimised for space efficiency without compromising functionality, accessibility or maintainability, with key devices and safety features kept easily accessible for operation and maintenance. Clear labeling improves usability and helps technicians work more efficiently in compact layouts. Panel design also considers proper grounding to reduce electrical noise and improve safety, while supporting power efficiency through the use of energy-efficient electrical devices where appropriate.

This makes them ideal for retrofit projects, machine upgrades and space-constrained installations.

Our compact panel designs are optimised for space efficiency without compromising functionality, accessibility or maintainability.

This makes them ideal for retrofit projects, machine upgrades and space-constrained installations.

QUALITY WITHOUT COMPROMISE

Every detail matters.

All panels are built through careful control panel design and manufacturing in accordance with recognised industry standards, best practice engineering principles, and UK standards. BS EN 61439 governs low voltage switchgear and control gear assemblies.

Our build quality ensures:

  • Consistent wiring standards

  • Clear system documentation

  • Robust mechanical construction

  • Full factory testing and validation

  • Compliance with relevant UK standards and requirements to ensure safety

Because reliability begins at design.

LIFECYCLE SUPPORT
