Bespoke Control Panels
Bespoke Control Panels Designed Around Your Process
Every industrial process is different. That's why many businesses require bespoke control panels that are designed specifically for their equipment, production requirements and operating environment rather than relying on standard off-the-shelf solutions.
At Stratos, we design and manufacture bespoke control panels that provide reliable automation, seamless integration and long-term operational performance. Whether you require a single panel or a complete control system, our engineers work closely with you to deliver a solution tailored to your application.
What Is a Bespoke Control Panel?
A bespoke control panel is designed and manufactured to meet the exact requirements of a specific process, machine or facility.
Unlike standard control panels, bespoke solutions are engineered around factors such as:
• Process requirements.
• Machine functionality.
• Available installation space.
• Environmental conditions.
• Control philosophy.
• Future expansion.
• Industry regulations.
• Operational objectives.
This ensures every control panel delivers the functionality, reliability and flexibility your business requires.
Why Choose a Bespoke Control Panel?
A custom-designed control panel offers significant advantages over a standard solution.
Benefits include:
• Designed for your specific application.
• Improved operational efficiency.
• Greater system reliability.
• Easier maintenance.
• Simplified future upgrades.
• Better integration with existing equipment.
• Improved operator safety.
• Long-term scalability.
By designing the control panel around your process, you avoid unnecessary compromises and create a solution that supports your production goals.
Designed Around Your Requirements
Every bespoke control panel begins with a detailed understanding of your operational needs.
Our engineers consider:
• Process functionality.
• Equipment interfaces.
• Control sequences.
• Production targets.
• Motor control requirements.
• PLC and HMI integration.
• Electrical loading.

This collaborative approach ensures the finished panel supports both current and future operational requirements.
Built to the Highest Standards
Every bespoke control panel is manufactured using proven engineering practices and quality components.
Our manufacturing process includes:
• Professional panel assembly.
• Precision wiring and termination.
• Component identification.
• Electrical inspection.
• Functional testing.
• Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT).
• Documentation.
• Final quality verification.
Each panel is carefully tested before delivery to help ensure reliable performance from installation onwards.
Flexible Integration
Our bespoke control panels are designed to integrate seamlessly with your wider automation systems.
We can incorporate:
• PLC control systems.
• Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs).
• SCADA systems.
• Variable Speed Drives (VSDs).
• Motor Control Centres (MCCs).
• Industrial communication networks.
• Remote monitoring.
• Building Management Systems (BMS).
Whether the panel forms part of a new installation or an existing automation system, we design solutions that integrate efficiently with your operations.
Designed for Future Growth
Operational requirements change over time.
That's why we design bespoke control panels with future expansion in mind wherever practical.
This may include:
• Spare I/O capacity.
• Additional panel space.
• Modular layouts.
• Expansion-ready power distribution.
• Network scalability.
• Documentation for future modifications.
• Upgrade flexibility.
• Maintainable component layouts.
Designing for future growth helps reduce the cost and complexity of future upgrades.
