Project Background
After an industrial warehouse in Ghana finished its expansion, lighting across the storage area was fed from several zoned circuits. The customer needed a batch of indoor wall-mounted lighting distribution panels supplied as a complete set by zone: BLOCK-B lighting distribution panels and BLOCK-C main lighting distribution panels, with circuit numbers including 1AL, 2AL-1, AL1-2 and AL1-5. The panels were to be installed and wired directly by the local installation team on arrival, with no rework on site.
Three requirements were set at the enquiry stage: panel marking must match the drawing circuit numbers one for one; safety labels must be bilingual because local installers cannot read Chinese; and all panels must share the same batch, finish and lock type so future expansion can be matched.
Customer Challenges
- Rework overseas is expensive – one mismarked circuit number means shipping the whole panel back
- Local workers are unfamiliar with Chinese electrical marking conventions, so a label they cannot read is a label that does not work
- Sea freight plus inland transfer can damage coating, locks and nameplates
- Future expansion must be able to reorder the same model and finish
Xiaoyang Solution
- Circuit-by-circuit supply: BLOCK-B and BLOCK-C lighting panels matched to drawing circuits (1AL, 2AL-1, AL1-2, AL1-5), each with a white marking label showing zone and circuit number
- Bilingual safety labels: every panel carries a yellow DANGER label with Chinese and English entries such as “Qualified personnel only”, “Do not touch” and “Lock out and tag out before servicing”
- Consistent finish and locks: grey electrostatic powder-coated enclosure with concealed door lock, same batch and process, so reorders match
- Site-fillable nameplate: the metal nameplate reserves handwritten fields for model, rated voltage, rated current and serial number, so commissioning data is recorded on site
Delivery and On-site
Panels were packed and supplied by zone, with marking labels and safety labels checked against circuit numbers before dispatch. On arrival the site team mounted and wired them zone by zone following the labels – no secondary labelling or translation was needed.
