Control Panels

Configure the panel around the load, enclosure and component rules

Mercura helps manufacturers turn electrical requirements, enclosure limits and component dependencies into valid panel configurations without rebuilding every quote in spreadsheets.

Mercura does not certify panels. It runs your manufacturer-defined rules for space, voltage, thermal load and catalogue availability while sales is still configuring.

Interactive demo

Fit the panel electrically, thermally and spatially

This is a live Mercura CPQ configurator — not a mock-up. Start from application and electrical load, then resolve enclosure size, cooling, EMC and commercial options under manufacturer-defined rules on one quote.

Running against a live Mercura tenant. Enclosures, components, and prices shown here are an illustrative "Control Panel Example" catalogue built to demonstrate the platform — your own electrical, thermal, and enclosure rules would drive a production deployment.

Configuration chain

From load requirements to a valid panel BOM

Each constraint removes invalid options before the quote leaves.

  1. 01

    Load requirements

    Supply, main current, motor and VFD counts set the duty.

  2. 02

    Components

    Drives, starters, PSU and PLC selections pull dependency lines.

  3. 03

    Enclosure space

    Backplate occupancy blocks undersized cabinets.

  4. 04

    Electrical compatibility

    Voltage and rating mismatches stay visible.

  5. 05

    Thermal load

    Heat vs passive dissipation — cooling kits when required.

  6. 06

    Availability

    EOL / PIM status routes to approved alternatives.

  7. 07

    BOM → quote

    Valid commercial configuration priced in-session.

Why quoting gets hard

Why panel quotes usually break late

Enclosure overfill

Large VFDs push occupancy past usable backplate — found after layout.

Thermal surprise

Passive dissipation cannot reject drive heat — cooling appears as a follow-up.

Obsolete components

EOL PSUs still price until PIM status is enforced in the path.

Before / after

The same technical sale, a different commercial path

Before

  • Load list collected in email
  • Enclosure guessed from habit
  • Thermal check after layout
  • EOL parts found in purchasing
  • BOM rebuilt for the quote

With Mercura CPQ

  • Load entered in the sales flow
  • Enclosure occupancy enforced live
  • Thermal and cooling resolve together
  • PIM / ERP availability blocks EOL
  • Valid BOM priced in the same session
