Standardise Control Panels and Automation Systems
We help industrial sites standardise control panels and automation systems
Inconsistent control systems create long-term operational inefficiency. When each machine or production line uses different PLC platforms, panel layouts, and software structures, maintenance becomes slower, training costs rise, and downtime increases.
​
Stratos Control Systems helps industrial sites standardise control panels and automation systems to improve reliability, simplify support, and reduce lifecycle cost.
The Cost of Inconsistent Automation Systems
A lack of standardisation often develops over time as equipment is added, modified, or supplied by different vendors. While systems may function individually, the overall site becomes harder and more expensive to maintain.
​
Standardisation brings control systems back into alignment, creating a consistent, supportable automation environment.
Problems Caused by Poor Standardisation
-
Multiple PLC platforms and inconsistent programming styles
-
Different HMI layouts across machines or production areas
-
Increased training requirements for operators and maintenance teams
-
Larger spare parts inventory
-
Higher long-term maintenance and support costs
Our Automation Standardisation Services
We work with engineering and maintenance teams to define and implement practical standards:
​
-
Control panel design standards using AutoCAD or E-Plan
-
PLC and HMI software templates and naming conventions
-
SCADA architecture and alarm standards
-
Platform consolidation strategies using Siemens, Allen Bradley, or Mitsubishi
-
Documentation and standard operating procedures
​
Standardisation is implemented gradually to avoid disruption.
Who Benefits Most from Standardisation
-
Engineering Managers responsible for multi-machine sites
-
Maintenance teams supporting mixed automation platforms
-
Operations teams planning site expansions or upgrades
