FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Design
What is the difference between your Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and standard engineering?
Our DFM goes beyond basic functionality. We guarantee that every mechanical component and PLC panel is meticulously optimized for fabrication and assembly efficiency, minimizing errors, reducing material waste, and saving time and cost on your production line.
Are you limited by geographical location?
No. Our operational model leverages integrated engineering teams in both the US and Mexico for fluid coordination and resource optimization. We offer comprehensive remote support and are ready to provide on-site, in-person assistance whenever your project requires it.
PLC Control Panels
What is your typical lead time for a PLC control panel?
By focusing on pre-designed and pre-wired, plug-and-play solutions, we eliminate the majority of upfront engineering time. Our primary value is the drastic reduction of your on-site configuration and installation time, delivering a system that is operational much faster than traditional builds.
What type of support is included after the delivery of a design or control panel?
We ensure long-term reliability by providing complete documentation, including electrical schematics and manuals, along with remote support for the system commissioning and troubleshooting, guaranteeing long-term success.
General
How does your partnership with MND Solutions for Manufacturing benefit my project?
Our strategic partnership with MND completes the design-to-reality cycle. While MFG Consultants specializes in optimized mechanical designs and PLC panels (DFM), MND ensures a seamless transition to physical fabrication and integration into your process, minimizing implementation issues and guaranteeing that the design intent is maintained through commissioning.
Am I required to use MND for the manufacturing of your designs or panels?
No, you retain the flexibility to use any fabrication partner of your choosing. However, our collaboration with MND is a key advantage as it ensures the implementation partner is already familiar with our Manufacturability standards and works closely with our engineering team, offering the most efficient and reliable path to physical implementation.
