Industrial switchboard upgrades, modifications and changeovers.

Mobile Automation supports industrial customers with switchboard upgrades, modifications, replacements and changeover works across Melbourne, South East Melbourne, the eastern suburbs and broader Victoria.

Industrial switchboards are critical to site reliability and safe operation. As production requirements change, switchboards may need to support new machinery, increased load, improved circuit protection, better labelling, safer access, updated components or future expansion.

Mobile Automation can assist with practical switchboard works for manufacturing, process, machinery and production-focused sites, including planning, installation, staged changeovers, testing support, labelling and handover requirements.

Planned around site operation and shutdown requirements

Switchboard works often require careful planning because they can affect production, essential services, machinery, lighting, controls and site safety systems. Mobile Automation works to understand what the switchboard supplies, what downtime is acceptable, what isolations are required and how the works can be staged safely.

For larger upgrades or changeovers, planning may include site investigations, shutdown timing, temporary supply considerations, materials procurement, coordination with suppliers and communication with operations or maintenance teams.

Suitable for

This service is suited to industrial customers that need switchboard or distribution upgrades to support current or future site requirements, including:

Common switchboard upgrade requirements

Mobile Automation can support customers where existing switchboards no longer suit site requirements or where new equipment needs electrical infrastructure upgrades.

• Adding supplies for new machinery or production lines
• Replacing outdated, damaged or difficult-to-maintain switchboards
• Improving circuit identification, labelling and maintainability
• Modifying distribution for factory layout changes or site expansions
• Supporting switchboard works during shutdowns or staged changeovers

Working with suppliers and project teams

Switchboard upgrades can involve switchboard builders, engineers, equipment suppliers, customer maintenance teams, operations staff and other contractors. Mobile Automation can work with these parties where the electrical scope, responsibilities and timing are clearly agreed.

Where formal design, supply authority involvement, engineering certification, arc flash assessment, protection studies, hazardous area considerations or specialist compliance review is required, those requirements should be confirmed separately with appropriately qualified parties.
