Electrical & Fluid Power Design
Complete drawing packages for industrial automation systems — schematics, panel layouts, network architecture, and fluid power — built in AutoCAD Electrical or EPLAN, to NFPA or IEC standards.
The Right Platform and Standard for Your Project
We design in AutoCAD Electrical, classic AutoCAD, and EPLAN, and build drawing sets to NFPA or IEC conventions depending on what the project, customer, or end market requires. Use your own drawing templates, or default to ours.
Software
AutoCAD Electrical, classic AutoCAD, and EPLAN — we design in whichever platform fits the project or matches what you already maintain internally.
Drawing Standards
NFPA-style or IEC-style drawing sets, selected based on the project, the customer, or the end market the equipment is shipping to.
Templates
Use your company's drawing templates and tag-naming conventions, or default to ours — either way, the package matches what your team expects.
What's In a Complete Drawing Package
Project Documentation
- • Cover sheet
- • Table of contents

- • Tooling I/O points, sensors, and actuators
- • Robot EOAT drawings, same level of detail as tooling packages
Control Panels
- • Main control panel drawings
- • Field control panel drawings
- • Safety PLC panels and remote distributed I/O panels
Fluid Power & Safety
- • Hydraulic and pneumatic drawings for headers and tooling
- • Valve manifolds or standalone valves
- • Safety dump valves
Build Documentation
- • BOM
- • Cable matrix
- • Exportable labels for printers
- • Terminal drawings
- • Plug diagrams
Backed by a Design Workbook, Not Guesswork
Before drawings are finalized, every project runs through a design workbook that covers the calculations a clean schematic can't show on its own.
Load Balancing Calculations
Power distribution sized and balanced across circuits before anything is drawn.
Heat Studies
Enclosure heat load calculated so cooling is right-sized, not guessed at.
Network Bandwidth Utilization
Traffic load checked against network capacity before devices are committed to a switch.
Safety Circuit Planning
Safety functions and SIL/PL requirements planned before the safety schematic is drawn.

Common Questions
Do you design in AutoCAD Electrical or EPLAN?
Both, along with classic AutoCAD. We pick the platform based on the project or use whichever your team already standardizes on.
Can you use our drawing templates instead of yours?
Yes. We can work from your title blocks, tag-naming conventions, and drawing standards, or default to our own templates if you don't have a preference.
Do you produce NFPA-style or IEC-style drawings?
Both. The style is selected based on the project, the customer, or the market the equipment is shipping to.
What's included in a full drawing package?
Cover sheet and revision logs, cell and panel layouts, system and network interconnects, tooling and EOAT drawings, fluid power schematics, safety drawings, BOM, cable matrix, labels, terminal drawings, and plug diagrams — scoped to what your project needs.
