How Control Panel Manufacturing Enhances Industrial Automation

Control Panels are some of the most important parts of any industrial automation system, as they provide an easy interface for operators to monitor and control the different parts of an electronic system. One of the services that we offer here at Cypress Technologies is custom control panel manufacturing and assembly, making all of the necessary components for our clients and assembling them in-house for a more efficient production process. 

The Importance of Control Panels

Custom control panels can have a lot of benefits for an industrial automation system, no matter what the actual application might be–pick and place robotics, automated manufacturing, and more. They provide operators with a centralized location and a much easier interface to monitor and control their equipment, as well as program and reprogram any actions that the equipment needs to perform. At Cypress, we also customize each panel to meet the specific needs of the system, whether that’s to control environmental conditions like temperature and pressure, or to control specific actions of the equipment. This allows for much easier and safe process monitoring as well, and can improve a system’s safety and efficiency overall. 

Advancing Control Panels in the Modern Age

Industry 4.0 has resulted in the widespread integration of IoT, remote monitoring, AI or smart technology, and more across automation technology, and control panels are no exception. Smart panels allow operators to connect directly to the equipment through an ethernet connection, providing real-time process monitoring through a tablet or other smart device. IoT (Internet of Things) integration allows operators to connect all sorts of embedded systems together, including control panels, and store and exchange any necessary data in the cloud. 

The use of both IoT integration and smart panels also allows for remote monitoring and improves lights-out capabilities in industrial automation. Smart panels will ensure that the systems perform correctly and will shut things down if something goes wrong, while IoT will ensure that users can see what’s going on in real time. Overall, control panel manufacturing has become more advanced and much more customizable in recent decades thanks to these innovations.
