Innovative Instruments & Controls designs, engineers, and assembles premium industrial electrical control panels tailored for modern manufacturing plants. Operating out of our advanced fabrication and assembly facility at SIDCO Industrial Estate in Thirumudivakkam, Chennai, we construct CPRI-standard systems ranging from complex PLC automation panels and VFD drive panels to highly reliable Motor Control Centers (MCC) and Power Control Centers (PCC). Our design engineers utilize state-of-the-art EPLAN software to guarantee flawless wiring diagrams, optimal thermal layouts, and robust safety compliance.
Every panel leaving our Thirumudivakkam workshop is built using premium switchgear from world-class brands like Siemens, Schneider Electric, ABB, and Rockwell Automation. By integrating high-quality busbars, precise thermal management, and robust terminal layouts, we ensure minimized downtime, absolute operational safety, and full compatibility with Industry 4.0 architectures. Whether you need a single custom VFD panel or a multi-bay PLC cabinet for heavy machinery, our Chennai-based technical team offers turnkey engineering, commissioning, and on-site support.
Partnering with Innovative Instruments & Controls guarantees custom-engineered electrical panels designed for optimal power distribution, precise automation control, and maximum life span in harsh industrial environments.
We utilize advanced EPLAN Electric P8 drafting systems for comprehensive wire scheduling, thermal calculation, and virtual 3D cabinet visualization before fabrication.
Our panels are built in strict compliance with IP54/IP55/IP65 ingress protection ratings, short-circuit withstand capabilities, and IS/IEC standards.
Get panels built with your preferred switchgear and automation components, including Siemens SIRIUS, Schneider TeSys, and ABB SACE breakers.
Every panel undergoes meticulous Factory Acceptance Testing including high-pot tests, insulation resistance checks, and point-to-point physical loop testing.
Our panel designs incorporate active cooling units, exhaust fans, and anti-condensation heaters calculated specifically for Chennai's ambient humidity and heat.
Located directly within the SIDCO Industrial Estate, our engineers provide prompt physical deployment, emergency panel modifications, and spare part dispatch.
We stock, supply, and configure all current Iic Chennai families. Legacy series and legacy hardware parts are also available for spares, partial expansions, and brownfield continuity. All new projects are scoped on the latest platforms for long-term software support.
