Solution Evaluation Service

Custom Development & Technical Services

What Our Solution Evaluation Service Covers

Danli’s solution evaluation service helps you choose the right power distribution and automation approach before you commit budget. Our engineers review your requirements, drawings and site conditions, compare technical options and give you a clear recommendation with scope, risks and an indicative cost, so the project starts on a solid technical basis.

When to Use It

New projects – you have a process or building design and need to decide on switchgear, motor control and control-system architecture.
Upgrades – existing equipment is old or unreliable and you need a phased replacement plan that keeps the plant running.
Expansions – new production lines or buildings must connect to an existing electrical and control system.
Problem solving – repeated trips, overheating, poor power factor or communication faults need an independent technical review.

What We Review

Area	Typical checks
Electrical supply	Supply voltage, transformer sizing, fault levels, back-up generation
Distribution	Switchgear type and ratings, selectivity, cable and busbar capacity
Motor control	Starting methods, VFD opportunities, MCC arrangement
Control system	PLC vs DCS, I/O count, network architecture, SCADA integration
Environment	Temperature, altitude, dust, humidity, hazardous areas
Standards	IEC 61439, IEC 62271 and any client or local requirements

Our Process

Kick-off – you share drawings, load lists, process descriptions and project goals.
Technical review – our engineers assess the information and ask clarifying questions; for existing sites this can include photos, data logs or a site visit.
Options and comparison – we compare two or three practical solutions on performance, reliability, cost and delivery time.
Recommendation report – you receive a written summary with the proposed architecture, equipment list, single-line sketch, risks and next steps.

What You Receive

A clear recommended solution with reasons
Preliminary single-line diagram and system architecture
Main equipment list with ratings
Key risks, assumptions and open questions
Indicative budget and delivery schedule

The evaluation can then flow straight into detailed design, software development and commissioning with the same engineering team.

Why It Matters

Most cost overruns and delays in electrical and automation projects start with decisions made too early or with too little information — undersized switchgear, the wrong control platform, or interfaces nobody owned. A short, structured evaluation at the start finds these issues while they are still cheap to fix. It also gives you a solid basis for comparing supplier quotations, because everyone prices the same scope.

For international projects, an early review also confirms which standards and certifications apply in the destination country, how equipment will be shipped and installed, and what spare parts and support will be needed after handover — details that are expensive to discover late.

Example Questions We Answer

Should a new pumping station use a PLC with SCADA, or connect to the plant DCS?
Is it better to buy medium and low voltage switchgear from one supplier or two?
Which motors justify VFDs, and what energy saving can be expected?
Can an old MCC be replaced section by section without a full shutdown?
What enclosure rating, cooling and materials are needed for a hot, dusty or coastal site?
How should a new production line connect to the existing protection and control system?

Each answer is backed by calculations, standards references or experience from similar projects, so you can share it confidently with your management, consultant or end client.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the evaluation take?

Most evaluations take one to three weeks, depending on project size and how complete the input information is.

What information should I provide?

Single-line diagrams, load or motor lists, process descriptions or P&IDs, existing equipment details and any client or local standards that apply.

Is the evaluation linked to buying equipment from Danli?

No. The recommendation is based on what suits your project. Many clients do continue with us for design, manufacturing and commissioning.

Can you evaluate an existing plant remotely?

Yes. With drawings, photos, data logs and video calls we can carry out much of the review remotely, with a site visit where needed.
