EPLAN Control Panel Design Services UK
Stratos Control Systems provide professional EPLAN control panel design services, delivering clear, structured, and standards-compliant electrical designs for industrial automation systems.
​
​Accurate electrical drawings form the foundation of successful control panel manufacturing and long-term system maintainability.
​
Using EPLAN Electric P8, we create detailed schematics and documentation that improve clarity, reduce errors, and make control panels easier to build, maintain, and modify.
​
Whether you require EPLAN design services for a new system or re-documentation of an existing panel, we deliver accurate, well-structured designs built for real-world industrial use.
Why Accurate EPLAN Documentation Matters
Clear electrical documentation is essential throughout the lifecycle of an industrial automation system. Well-structured EPLAN drawings make control panels easier to manufacture, commission, maintain and modify, while reducing engineering time during future upgrades.
​
At Stratos, our EPLAN documentation is developed to support the complete lifecycle of your automation systems. From electrical schematics and panel layouts to terminal plans, I/O schedules and cable documentation, every drawing is produced with clarity, consistency and long-term maintainability in mind.
​
Accurate documentation also improves fault finding, simplifies future control panel upgrades and provides engineers with reliable information whenever changes or expansions are required.

EPLAN Supports the Entire Control Panel Design Process
EPLAN plays an important role throughout the control panel design process, from initial concept through to manufacturing and commissioning. By creating structured electrical designs from the outset, potential issues can be identified early, reducing errors during panel build and installation.
​
Our engineers use EPLAN to produce consistent electrical schematics, panel layouts and supporting documentation that align with the wider automation project.
Whether designing a new industrial control panel or updating an existing system, this structured approach improves communication between design, manufacturing and commissioning teams while supporting future maintenance and system expansion.
Control Panel Design and Built for Maintainability
Poor electrical design leads to:
-
Difficult fault finding
-
Increased build errors
-
Inconsistent documentation
​
We use EPLAN control panel design to ensure:
-
Clear and structured schematics
-
Easy-to-follow documentation
-
Consistent design standards
-
Simplified maintenance and troubleshooting
​
Our control panel design and build are for engineers, not just compliance.
EPLAN for Control Panel Upgrades and Refurbishment
Many automation projects involve upgrading or refurbishing existing control panels rather than replacing them completely. Accurate EPLAN documentation allows engineers to understand existing systems, identify obsolete components and develop structured upgrade plans with greater confidence.
​
Whether supporting a PLC migration, control panel refurbishment or wider control system upgrade, our EPLAN designs provide the documentation needed to simplify modifications, improve maintainability and reduce the risk of errors during installation and commissioning.

Designed for Testing and Commissioning
Well-prepared electrical documentation supports every stage of testing and commissioning. Accurate EPLAN drawings help engineers verify wiring, confirm component locations and complete Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) more efficiently.
​
By providing clear electrical schematics, terminal plans and equipment schedules, we help reduce commissioning time, improve installation quality and ensure control panels are ready for reliable long-term operation.
