If there is one thing we are passionate about at Gerbin Control, it is the innovation and quality that goes hand in hand with sustainable panel construction. When choosing the best materials for panels, there are several factors to consider. In this article, we dive deeper into those choices, drawing on our years of experience in the industry.

Why is the choice of materials so important?
Good materials are the backbone of any high-quality electrical panel. They provide durability, reliability and efficiency in use. At Gerbin Control, we pride ourselves on maintaining the gold standard when it comes to our products, and much of that standard comes from our impeccable choice of materials.
"The quality of a panel is determined not only by its design, but also by the materials from which it is constructed."

The essence of sustainable panel construction
In our panel building category, we often talk about the core principles of sustainable panel building. One of the most important considerations is how the material will behave under different conditions and over long periods of time.
- Durability: Materials as used in our Rittal cabinets are chosen for their ability to stand the test of time.
- Functionality: As you can read in the importance of electrical cabinets, functionality is crucial. Materials should not only be strong, but also functional.
- Efficiency: How does electrical cabinetry ensure efficient industrial systems? Part of the answer lies in the materials used.
Influence of Electrical Components
Electrical components are an essential part of any electrical panel. Our section on electrical components takes a closer look at the various components used in panel building. For example, did you know that variable speed drives contribute to energy efficiency and sustainability?
Understanding these components and selecting the right ones for each task ensures a panel that is not only durable, but also performs optimally.

Hardware & Software: The Brain and Heart of Panel Construction
When we talk about the fundamentals of a sustainable and efficient panel, we cannot ignore the influence of hardware and software engineering. These two components are, respectively, the brain and the heart of any panel construction.
Why the Robust Skeleton Consists of Hardware Engineering
At Gerbin Control, we have a dedicated team of hardware engineers who shape the architecture of each panel. They ensure that each component is in the right place and performing optimally. As discussed in our article on the role of hardware engineers, the strength of a good panel lies in the detail of its hardware. And if you’ve ever wondered“What is hardware engineering?“, the answer is simple: it is the art and science of building durable and efficient electrical panels.
"Hardware engineering is like the skeleton of a panel; it provides structure and support for all the other components."
Software Engineering: The Soul of Functionality
Software is what brings each panel to life. It enables the communication, control and automation of processes. Our team of software engineers ensures that each panel is equipped with the best and most efficient software solutions. In the article All About Software Engineering, we explain how software is the soul of every panel we build.
UL Certification: Quality Stamp
UL certification for electrical panels is a guarantee of quality and safety. At Gerbin Control, we strive to meet the highest standards, and our UL listed panel shop is a testament to that commitment.
Conclusion
Whether you’re interested in the types of panel construction we offer or the deeper technical details of machine safety, at Gerbin Control we make sure every panel construction is of the highest quality, backed by the best materials and technologies in the industry.
At every step of the process, from design to implementation, we strive to combine innovation with sustainability. Because at Gerbin Control, we believe that the future of panel construction is both green and brilliant.
