Siemens Expands SIPANEL Production in the U.S.
Siemens has introduced its customizable SIPANEL® industrial control panels, now engineered and assembled at the company’s Wendell, N.C. facility. These panels are designed to enhance protection, automation, and control in industrial automation and power distribution. By localizing production, Siemens ensures rapid delivery, high quality, and better cost control.
Unifying Engineering, Manufacturing, and Field Services
Each SIPANEL is ISO9000 and UL508A certified, reflecting Siemens’ commitment to quality and reliability. By integrating technology, consulting, engineering, and field services at a single facility, Siemens provides a streamlined solution that reduces turnaround times and simplifies project execution. As an automation engineer, I see this as a critical advantage for industries needing precise, scalable solutions without the usual coordination delays.
Custom Retrofit Capabilities for Legacy Systems
SIPANEL panels support retrofitting existing infrastructure, allowing industrial operators, utilities, and microgrid managers to modernize legacy systems with minimal downtime. This flexibility is essential for smart infrastructure projects, where efficiency and continuity are non-negotiable. In my experience, such retrofits often unlock unexpected performance gains while avoiding expensive full replacements.
Digital Twin Precision for Seamless Integration
Siemens leverages advanced Digital Twin technology to model each SIPANEL digitally before production. This ensures accurate specifications, reduced errors, and faster delivery. From an engineering perspective, the use of Digital Twins bridges the gap between design and execution, enabling engineers to anticipate installation challenges and optimize system integration before the panels even leave the factory.
In-House Component Manufacturing Reduces Risk
By producing key components internally, Siemens mitigates supply chain disruptions while controlling costs, lead times, and quality. For industrial engineers like myself, this means predictable project timelines and consistent panel performance—critical factors in mission-critical automation and power systems.
Driving Digital and Sustainable Transformations
Siemens Smart Infrastructure (SI) aims to connect energy systems, buildings, and industries to create adaptive, intelligent infrastructure. By integrating AI and automation, SIPANEL and other solutions help communities progress while meeting climate goals. In practice, this approach translates into smarter, safer, and more efficient industrial operations—aligning technology deployment with sustainability objectives.
Siemens’ Strong Presence in the U.S. Market
In fiscal year 2024, Siemens Group USA generated $21.2 billion in revenue, operating 24 manufacturing sites with over 45,000 employees nationwide. SIPANEL production in Wendell strengthens Siemens’ U.S. footprint and reflects its commitment to local manufacturing excellence, ensuring faster, more reliable access for customers across all industries.
