Industrial Electrical Systems for Machine Wiring and Automation
Through our CEM Service division, DICO GROUP delivers complete industrial electrical systems for machine wiring, ensuring seamless integration between electrical and mechanical components. Our value lies in a turnkey approach that brings together design, execution, and testing within a single, fully integrated and traceable process.
How do we carry out machine wiring?
Machine wiring involves installing and connecting electrical components directly on the machine or system, ensuring reliable communication between sensors, actuators, and the control system. It is a critical step in the correct and efficient operation of industrial automation systems.
We manage the entire electrical project, coordinating each phase with the mechanical activities:
- Design of industrial electrical schematics and wiring diagrams for subcontract projects, using advanced software such as EPLAN and SPAC.
- Industrial electrical control panel manufacturing: we develop custom electrical panels in compliance with international standards, including UL508A, to meet specific customer requirements.
- Machine wiring and on-site installation: we install and connect electrical components directly on the machine, ensuring optimal integration and reduced commissioning times.
- Installation of predictive maintenance systems: we implement advanced technologies such as IoT platforms and sensors to monitor equipment condition in real time, anticipate failures, and optimize performance.
Regulatory compliance:
ensuring safety and reliability
CEM Service, part of DICO GROUP, ensures all our industrial electrical systems are designed and built in full compliance with applicable regulations, delivering high levels of safety and reliability.
UL 508A: Standard for industrial control panels
When machines are supplied to the North American market, electrical systems must comply with local regulations. UL 508A is the primary standard defining the requirements for industrial control panels.
It establishes the criteria for panel design, construction, and certification, with a focus on operational safety, system reliability, and regulatory compliance. A key aspect of UL 508A is the correct calculation and declaration of the SCCR (Short-Circuit Current Rating), which defines the maximum fault current a panel can safely withstand at its intended installation point.
Planning electrical projects in accordance with UL 508A from the engineering phase helps ensure compliance, reduces the risk of issues during inspection, and supports a smoother path to market.

CEI EN 60204-1: Safety of electrical equipment of machines
CEI EN 60204-1 defines the requirements for the electrical equipment of machinery and serves as the reference standard for compliant electrical panel design, in order to guarantee:
- the safety of people and property
- reliable and consistent response to control commands
- safe operation and ease of maintenance
Compliance with this standard is essential to ensure that electrical control panels and machine wiring are designed to suit specific environmental and operating conditions, including temperature, humidity, altitude, and the presence of contaminants.
