REMOVING THE HEADACHE FROM ELECTRICAL CONTROL
So you can respond to your customers faster.
You hate to be kept waiting. When you say jump, we jump.
90% quotes delivered within 24 hours.

“You guys are like greased lightning, thanks again for your fast response!”
State Manager, QLD
So electrical controls don't hold up your project.
Metroid’s large and scalable manufacturing capacity means no lead-time blowouts. We’ll promise a delivery date, and we’ll keep it.
“One of the reasons we love Metroid is when they say 6 weeks, they deliver in 6 weeks.”
General Manager, VIC
So your project is operational faster, with less hassle.
No more onsite nightmares. We test every nut and bolt and every line of code before we ship your boards, often delivering serious time savings in commissioning.
“The quality of the boards and expertise of Metroid's engineers always makes commissioning a breeze.”
Project Manager, NSW
FAST QUOTES FOR TENDERS OR LIVE PROJECTS
Our clients love the flexibility of not having to wait days or weeks for a quote. Metroid’s estimating engineers can prepare an accurate and detailed proposal for your tender or live project, usually within 24 hours.
Usually all we require is a motor and instrument/equipment list (or a P&ID to take-off from), along with any applicable specifications.
ELECTRICAL DESIGN & CAD DRAWING
The design team at Metroid have many years’ experience on a wide range of challenging projects.
We use the latest version of AutoCAD Electrical along with proprietary automated plugins and scripts to rapidly generate professional and accurate electrical drawings. We thrive on specifications: we’ve designed and built boards for most of the big mining companies, many water authorities and other international companies.
Metroid provides a full drawing pack to you for approval before construction, and again as ‘as-built’ on project completion.
CONTROL PANEL & SWITCHBOARD CONSTRUCTION
We’ve invested heavily into building the world’s most advanced control panel manufacturing plant.
Our complex custom-built ERP software tracks every stage of the manufacturing process, and our revolutionary computerised wiring systems have shattered traditional expectations of wiring accuracy and efficiency.
You can rely on Metroid to consistently build and deliver your boards on-time, without hassle and headache.
PLC/HMI/SCADA PROGRAMMING AND INTEGRATION
Metroid is truly a ‘one-stop-shop’ when it comes to PLC and HMI programming. Every programmer has a broad range of process knowledge across many industries, coupled with working experience with major hardware brands including Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Schneider, Omron, Unitronics, Panasonic, Red Lion and more.
In addition, Metroid’s team includes qualified SCADA integrators with practical experience with Citect SCADA and ClearSCADA.
FUNCTIONAL TESTING AND COMPLIANCE ASSURANCE
Sounds obvious, but we’ll always conduct a thorough functional test in our workshop before despatching your board/s to site. Your onsite electrician can simply unload and install a fault-free switchboard, with no messy modifications and extensive testing time required.
In addition, we double-check specification compliance again, to ensure there are no surprises later on.
We can provide a comprehensive test report for every board shipped, for complete traceability and peace of mind.
COMMISSIONING AND TECH SUPPORT
Metroid offer an onsite commissioning service anywhere in Australia. Once we’re onsite, Metroid’s skilled commissioning engineers take a ‘whatever it takes’ approach to getting your system up and running – we’re more than happy to assist with mechanical, piping or structural issues as well as electrical.
Due to our thorough functional testing before despatch, the commissioning process with Metroid’s boards is often much simpler and faster than anticipated. We strongly believe that the place for re-wiring and re-programming is in the factory, not onsite.
Once your system is up and running, we’ll assist you remotely wherever possible, without charging an arm and a leg. The remote system access included in every PLC panel we produce allows us to make programming tweaks and add new features remotely, often free of charge.
