Switchboard project: where technology, safety and integration meet

    1 December, 2025

Summary



A electrical panels project is not just a technical exercise, but a strategic element in the reliability and continuity of any industrial plant. Behind a steel casing and neat wiring lies the planning, applied engineering and quality control work that determines the safety and efficiency of the system. MIBA, with more than 45 years of experience in steelwork and electromechanical equipment, supports manufacturers and system integrators in the co-design and industrialization phase, ensuring certified quality, operational continuity and lasting performance. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

In an industrial plant, the switchboard is much more than a container. It is where power, control and safety converge. An error in design or implementation can generate plant shutdowns, costly failures or safety problems for operators.

That is why the implementation of a electrical panels project requires a deep understanding of processes, technologies and regulations. International guidelines, such as IEC 61439 e EN 60204-1, define stringent criteria for performance, insulation, thermal dissipation, and safety. A compliant switchboard is not only a technical requirement, but also a strategic asset for productivity and energy efficiency.

MIBA is not involved in electrical design in the strict sense, but supports the client during the stages of co-design e industrial development, helping to translate the design into a concrete, manufacturable and optimized solution for mass production. This is where our manufacturing experience and mastery of mechanical and electromechanical processes become a crucial added value.

MIBA's integrated approach to switchboard design

With more than four decades of experience, MIBA stands out for its ability to combine skills that rarely coexist under one roof. The company's strength lies in the integration of the steelwork internal and the division dedicated to the’electromechanical assembly.

A electrical panels project managed by MIBA follows a precise and structured path:
  1. Co-engineering and industrialization: We collaborate with the customer in the early stages of development, analyzing technical constraints, materials, and workflows. The goal is to optimize the product with the principles of the Design for Excellence (DFX), improving manufacturability, affordability, and future maintenance, without replacing the customer's electrical design.
  2. Realization of carpentry: thanks to a fleet of state-of-the-art machines for laser cutting, CNC bending e TIG or robotic welding, we manufacture precision enclosures, panels and frames. Each part is finished and treated to ensure strength and durability even in harsh environments.
  3. Integrated assembly and wiring: ours Equipment Division manages the assembly and wiring of electrical and mechanical components, in controlled environments and with trained personnel. Order, traceability and consistency of internal layout ensure a uniform and reliable result.
  4. Testing and functional verification: each panel is subjected to specific tests on continuity, insulation, dissipation and mechanical compliance, according to the relevant standards and specifications defined with the customer. This approach allows for a smooth transition from prototype to mass production, ensuring definite time frames and consistent quality.

The value of certified quality

At MIBA, quality is not an end goal, but an operating method. All production takes place under a system ISO 9001 certified, which ensures traceability, repeatability and control over every step.

From this philosophy comes the concept “Free Pass”: Each component is verified and tested so rigorously that it can be delivered already validated, ready for installation, without the need for further inspection by the customer. In the case of a electrical panels project, this means receiving a fully tested product that meets specifications. The “Free Pass” approach eliminates redundant controls, speeds up commissioning and dramatically reduces the risk of downtime.

Our quality management system makes every delivery a transparent and traceable process, with the goal of ensuring not only compliance, but total product reliability.

Versatility and multi-sector specialization

Each industrial sector imposes specific parameters and critical issues. Therefore, MIBA adapts its technical and production contribution to the needs of different fields, drawing on its cross-cutting experience:
  • Automotive: Frameworks that are resistant to vibration, thermal stress and harsh production environments.
  • Electromedical: Solutions requiring electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety absolute.
  • Food and packaging: Hygienic, anti-corrosion and easily sanitized materials.
  • Communications and electronics: attention to EMI shielding and precision thermal management. This versatility allows us to combine mechanical and electrical skills to provide switchboards and subsystems made with precision, reliability, and attention to detail.

From framework to strategic value

Rely on MIBA for the realization of a electrical panels project means choosing an industrial partner that transforms complexity into efficiency. Our role is to accompany the customer along the entire production path-from the early co-design stages to final assembly-guaranteeing technical consistency, optimized timing, and consistent quality.

With our vertical integration, we eliminate the risks associated with supply chain fragmentation and ensure total control over the outcome. Every product we make is the result of a structured, certified process designed to last.

MIBA does not design, but industrializes, builds and validates: three concrete actions that turn a technical drawing into a reliable production reality.
