B.E.S.T. Engineering · Automation

From schematic to start-up

Six things we do in-house: design, panel assembly, programming, documentation, commissioning and service. Order the whole chain or a single stage.

01 / 06

Control and MCC panels

We design and build control panels from your schematics, or develop the schematics ourselves. Motor starters, variable frequency drives and AS-i modules — from a single machine to a motor control centre.

  • Schematics and panel layout
  • Assembly and marking to standard
  • Motor starting and protection circuits
  • Factory acceptance test before delivery

What you get

Package
Panel with schematics, marking and bill of materials
Test
Circuit-by-circuit check with a protocol
Lead time
2 to 6 weeks depending on scope
02 / 06

PLC and HMI programming

We program Siemens S7-1200 and S7-1500 controllers in TIA Portal and build operator panels and SCADA. Code is written so that another engineer can maintain it after us.

  • Logic, sequences and recipes
  • Alarms, archives and diagnostics
  • Operator panels and WinCC
  • Commented program documentation

What you get

Program
Source, comments and a backup copy
Interface
Operator panel in English or Latvian
Training
Operator and technician training on site
03 / 06

Electrical documentation

We put schematics in order so they can still be read five years later: consistent numbering, cross-references, an exact component specification. Clients often order this when a previous supplier never handed over documentation.

  • Schematics and cable schedules
  • Component specifications and alternatives
  • As-built documentation for existing machines
  • Translation EN / LV

What you get

Format
PDF for printing plus an editable source
Structure
Consistent numbering across projects
Languages
English and Latvian, Russian on request
04 / 06

Modernisation and retrofit

We replace obsolete control systems while keeping the mechanics that work. Work is planned so that production stops for as short a time as possible, and existing cables and I/O are kept wherever feasible.

  • Survey and audit of the existing machine
  • Migration from S7-300 and other systems to S7-1500
  • Keeping and adapting existing I/O
  • Work schedule aligned with production

What you get

Audit
Description of the current system and its risks
Plan
Sequence of works and production breaks
Migration
New control on the old mechanics
05 / 06

Commissioning and service

We hand the machine over and stay available afterwards: diagnostics, program fixes, replacement of worn components. Service is available for machines designed by someone else too.

  • Commissioning on site
  • I/O and safety circuit checks
  • Operator training
  • Spare parts and repair

What you get

Handover
Signed report and documented start-up
Support
Response within one business day
Spare parts
Supply and installation
06 / 06

Sourcing and logistics

We help with components that take weeks to arrive: selecting alternatives, ordering from manufacturers, delivering to site. The invoice shows everything separately — materials, labour and transport.

  • Component selection and alternatives
  • Purchasing from manufacturers and distributors
  • Delivery to site in Latvia and the EU
  • Project expense tracking

What you get

Quote
Prices and delivery times
Delivery
To site or to your warehouse
Documents
Invoices, waybills and warranties
Technologies

  • Siemens S7-1200
  • Siemens S7-1500
  • TIA Portal
  • WinCC
  • AS-Interface
  • MCC
  • Motor protection
  • Variable frequency drives

Not sure where to start?

Describe the machine and the problem. We will tell you whether you need a new panel, a retrofit, or just a program fix.
