Functionality verified before shipment.
Troubleshooting support.
Modernize Your Existing Control Systems
We are often brought into facilities to review their control systems and find that the equipment still has plenty of useful life left, even when the control system itself is outdated. Our team can replace obsolete PLCs, HMIs, and other control components while integrating modern controls with your existing machinery, helping you improve reliability and add new capabilities without replacing an entire system.
Integrate New Automation With Existing Equipment
After evaluating your existing control system, the best path forward may be integrating new automation with the equipment you already have. Rather than replacing an entire system, our team can connect new controls, machinery, and automation to your existing equipment to expand its capabilities and improve how the system operates as a whole. This method also allows us to solve problems within your budget by making the most of the equipment and resources you already have available.
Improve Your Facility’s Safety and Quality Through Better Controls
Control systems can do more than operate equipment. They can help prevent unsafe sequences, identify process issues, and keep equipment operating consistently. Our team can incorporate safety interlocks, automated checks, alarms, and other control features designed around the specific needs of your operation. By reducing reliance on manual intervention and catching problems earlier, better controls can help create more consistent processes while reducing opportunities for equipment damage, product issues, and unsafe operation.
Controls for New and Existing Systems
Plan a new system, update existing controls, or connect additional equipment with support from an experienced conveyor controls team.
New Conveyor Controls
Start with controls designed alongside your conveyor system. We coordinate programming, panel construction, and equipment interfaces to support the product flow and operating requirements of your new line.
- Controls matched to your conveyor layout
- Custom PLC programming and panel builds
- Commissioning and training for turnkey systems
Controls Upgrades
Get more from the equipment you already have. We evaluate existing controls and plan updates to address changing processes, added automation, and system limitations.
- Review of existing controls and limitations
- Programming, panel, and wiring updates
- Installation planning around operating requirements
Equipment Integration
Connect individual machines into a coordinated process. We integrate conveyor controls with scanners, palletizers, packaging equipment, and other devices so each stage works with the equipment around it.
- Scanning, labeling, and weighing systems
- Sortation, strapping, and palletizing equipment
- Interfaces for equipment from multiple manufacturers

Installation planned with field engineers
Installers trained on the equipment they install
01
Shorter Lead Times
Build on established software modules and proven components to simplify development and move your controls project toward installation.
02
Lower Total Cost
Plan the electrical and mechanical work together, with testing and installation preparation that help limit rework and startup costs.
03
Less Manual Labor
Automate identification, routing, labeling, and strapping so products move through more of your process with fewer manual steps.
From Concept to Commissioning
Review
We assess your equipment, product flow, current controls, and goals for the system.
Design
We develop the controls and software requirements alongside the mechanical layout and equipment interfaces.
Build & Test
We build the controls and verify functionality in our facility before shipment.
Install
Our trained team installs, wires, and commissions the system, with installation planned by field engineers.
Support
We provide training for turnkey systems, remote support, and 24-hour troubleshooting.
Their designs have been robust and have implemented improvements with each subsequent program.

Control Systems FAQs
Can you upgrade controls on our existing conveyors?
Yes. We can evaluate your existing controls and recommend programming, panel, or integration updates based on your equipment and operating needs. Share the system’s age, PLC platform, and current limitations so we can define the right scope.
Can you integrate equipment from other manufacturers?
Yes. We build interfaces between conveyor controls and scanners, scales, labelers, strapping, palletizing and packaging equipment from multiple manufacturers, so each stage works with the equipment around it.
Do you test control systems before installation?
Yes. Control system functionality is verified on our plant floor before shipment, so issues are addressed early and startup on your floor goes more smoothly.
Do you offer remote support?
Yes. Remote support is available through VPN and modem access, alongside 24-hour controls troubleshooting when something stops between visits.
Can you work with our existing PLC platform?
In most cases, yes. Tell us which platform is installed and we will plan the programming, panel and wiring updates around it rather than replacing what already works.
