A custom control panel is built either as a single-source solution or as a complex control solution, designed with your specific needs in mind. These panels are typically constructed to address unique needs, such as panels rated to operate in hazardous locations, or as a means of tying together and smoothing the operation and monitoring of various and diverse operations.
Put simply, a custom control panel is your way to get what you need. A solution that is, as the name suggests, customized to meet specific purposes or exact requirements, where other OEM or standardized panels might not suffice.
Custom monitoring and control panels are an excellent solution if you feel your business could do with some simplification or you’re looking for a way to streamline your processes.
A well-designed custom control panel can make equipment operation easier and more straightforward, reducing the chance of equipment damage, property damage, and injuries. At PSI Power & Controls, we design and install a variety of custom control panels for many common applications, including:

It depends, but the answer is often yes. Or rather, whether or not you need them, you can benefit from them. Modern machinery displays an exceptionally wide range of panels, which often differ even though the machines’ tasks, and often overall design, are identical.
Do you find yourself tackling a different panel for each operation in your business? Would you benefit from more cohesion, simplification, and more compatible designs? If yes, then you certainly can benefit from custom panels.
In the end, it depends on your needs, the unique setup of your business, and what kinds of challenges you face with your current control panels and setup. That’s why we suggest working closely with a team of certified engineers, like those at PSI Power & Controls, as experts have the experience and extensive knowledge needed to help you determine the best means of improving your business through custom panels, or whether you’d benefit from full design and fabrication services.

In manufacturing, research, and development, your business outcomes are only as good as your equipment. Running a reliable system with optimized performance and efficiency can provide a critical competitive advantage.
Buying industrial control equipment isn’t like buying an iPhone. You don’t upgrade just because a new model is available. Most manufacturing systems include expensive, bespoke equipment designed to last for decades. An industrial controls system upgrade can give this equipment a new lease on life for a fraction of the cost of equipment replacement.
Technology moves fast, and today’s control platforms are faster and more powerful than ever. They’re also designed to seamlessly integrate into existing plant networks.
There are myriad ways a controls upgrade can give your plant’s productivity a boost. Here are just a few:
Your controls system has both hardware and software components. Both will eventually reach the end of their useful life.
When software versions are no longer supported by modern operating systems, it’s time to upgrade. Using legacy operating systems or operating unsupported software versions is not only inefficient, it puts your system at risk for virus and cybersecurity threats.
When the manufacturer of your controllers stops supporting your legacy hardware, it’s time to plan for a controls system upgrade. If you’re left scouring eBay to find replacement parts, a minor hardware failure could have a ripple effect on your entire facility’s ability to operate.
“It can be a world of hurt if something goes down and you don’t have a stock of hardware and software components,” Idzikowski said. “When you can no longer purchase your hardware directly from the distributor, it’s time to think about upgrading your system.”
When you’re upgrading mechanical systems, it’s best to complete a controls system upgrade at the same time to ensure the controllers can communicate effectively with the new equipment.
Whether upgraded controllers are talking to worn-out equipment or legacy controllers are trying to understand more powerful new equipment, at a certain point the age difference between systems can just be too much.
“The best thing to do is definitely to upgrade across the board,” Idzikowski said. “Software, controlling hardware, and mechanics. Just upgrading one system does not mean your process has been upgraded.”
A controls system upgrade also creates an opportunity to bring all the controls systems on your site under one umbrella. Maintaining multiple controls systems creates issues with visibility, maintaining parts inventory, managing software upgrades, and maintaining training requirements.
