Why Omega Control Solutions Is More Than Just a Panel Builder
When people first hear the phrase electrical control panel builder, it can sound straightforward. A customer provides a specification, and the panel builder manufactures exactly what has been described. At Omega Control Solutions, the reality is very different. We are not simply a panel builder. We are a team of engineers who solve problems, work across countless industries and take on projects that are often unique.
For Omega Control Solutions, no two enquiries ever look the same. Some clients arrive with twenty pages of documentation that outline every detail. Others turn up with nothing more than a rough idea or a video filmed on a mobile phone. Sometimes an engineer flies in from overseas and pops in unannounced, carrying only a handful of photos and a request to make a failing machine work again. Every project begins in a different place, and we build the path from there.
Flexibility at the heart of every project
The biggest reason customers choose Omega Control Solutions is flexibility. We never apply a one-size-fits-all approach because every site, industry and challenge is different. In certain sectors, specifications must be adhered to with absolute precision. In others, the customer simply wants something that works and trusts us to design the best solution. Some projects begin with a site visit. Others start with a phone call, a long email chain or a set of drawings. Many projects grow and change as new information is received from the client.
We adapt to every situation. This includes working with customers who know exactly what they want, as well as those who are unsure and need guidance. Whether someone sends us detailed drawings or asks us to help turn an idea into a workable system, we are able to shape the project around them.
More than panel builders
A traditional panel builder manufactures what they are given and nothing more. Omega Control Solutions goes far beyond this. Depending on what the customer needs, we can design, build, program, commission or support a system in any combination. Some clients only require the electrical panel. Others ask us to create the full control solution, including design work, discussions around functionality, 3D layouts and software.
We often work on projects that have never been done before. These range from niche applications developed by individual inventors to complex systems in large-scale global industries. Sometimes the task is simple, such as replacing a discontinued HMI. Other times, we are asked to turn a mechanical process into a modern automated system. Many companies bring us problems that other engineers have been unable to solve entirely.
Trusted partnerships and certified expertise
Our engineering capability is underpinned by recognised partnerships and certifications that give customers confidence in the solutions we deliver. Omega Control Solutions is a Siemens Solution Partner and a Rockwell Automation Silver Partner, allowing us to work closely with leading technology providers and stay aligned with the latest developments in automation and control.
We are also UL508A certified, enabling us to design and manufacture control panels for the North American market in line with recognised safety standards. In addition, our team has experience working on ATEX certified systems, supporting projects in hazardous and regulated environments.
These accreditations are not badges for display. They directly influence how we design, build and support control systems, ensuring compliance, reliability and long term performance for our customers.
Supporting multiple industries
One of the strongest characteristics of Omega Control Solutions is the variety of sectors we work in. When completing partner documentation, limiting the list to five industries was almost impossible. Over the years, Omega Control Solutions has delivered projects in areas as diverse as water treatment, pharmaceuticals, automotive systems, food and beverage production, heavy manufacturing, specialist research environments and more.
Different industries present different expectations. Some have extremely strict specifications that must be followed to the letter. Others give us the freedom to design a solution from the ground up. Our engineers enjoy these differences and understand how to approach each environment in the right way.
A genuine engineering partner
Customers choose Omega Control Solutions because they want more than a supplier. They want a team that will work through the information they have, however complete or incomplete it may be, and help them reach a practical and reliable outcome. They want engineers who will ask the right questions and who can translate an idea into a finished working system.
Being a genuine engineering partner also means giving customers visibility and confidence throughout the design process. Our primary 3D CAD platform is EPLAN Pro Panel, which allows us to create a full digital twin of each control panel before any physical build begins.
These digital twins can be shared with customers for review and formal sign off, helping to confirm layout, access and functionality at an early stage. Customers can also make use of the Augmented Reality functionality to visualise and interact with the panel within its intended installation environment, reducing risk and avoiding late stage changes.
EPLAN Pro Panel integrates directly with our Rittal Perforex machining centres, enabling digital design data to be transferred seamlessly into automated enclosure machining. This ensures accuracy between design and manufacture, shortens lead times and maintains consistency across every build.
Why Omega Control Solutions stands out
Omega Control Solutions is chosen because we do not limit ourselves to a single type of project or a single way of working. Our team brings a wide range of skills and experiences, and every engineer approaches a challenge with fresh thinking. Customers know that we are capable of handling simple tasks and complex requirements with equal attention and care.
In short, Omega Control Solutions is not a standard panel builder. We are problem solvers, engineers and collaborators who thrive on variety. Whatever the project size, industry or starting point, we work with customers to create solutions that are both practical and innovative. That is what sets Omega Control Solutions apart.
