Field and panel accessories
The low-value material that holds up a commissioning date — priced in bulk, consolidated with the rest of the order, and quoted from a bill of materials rather than a partial list.
- Ordered as
- Bulk quantities, or made up into kits per panel.
- Materials
- GRP, stainless, painted steel, aluminium and PVC.
- Certification
- Standard and hazardous-area versions where the manufacturer certifies them.
- Quoted from
- A panel bill of materials or a field wiring schedule.
What usually goes wrong
A panel is finished except for twelve glands with the right thread. A loop is complete except for an isolator that will not sit on the rail. This is the category that quietly costs a week, because it is treated as sundries and left off the enquiry until the rest of the material has already arrived.
How we handle it
We price it as a package from your bill of materials, including the sundries that usually get missed, and consolidate it with the instruments and controllers so it lands in the same consignment rather than three weeks behind it.
