Overview of Manufacturing Panel Wiring and Control Systems
Control panels are custom-tailored to the specifications of the equipment and the application. Some of the components commonly found in control panel wiring assembly include:
- PLCs: Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are small industrial computers used to automate control processes.
- CPUs: The central processing unit (CPU) serves as the control point for the PLC.
- Input/output cards: These components send and receive analog and digital signals.
- PLC wiring: Wires are used to connect the input/output cards to the PLC terminals.
- Alarms: These components inform facility workers of potential issues in the system.
- Reset and emergency stop buttons: These buttons allow you to reset or completely shut off the system in case of emergencies.
- Power supply: This component powers the entire assembly.
Why Do Businesses Need Panel Wiring and Control Systems?
Because everyone is looking for ways to decrease costs and increase productivity, having the right control system for custom machines can help automate repetitive tasks, resulting in improved operational safety and efficiency. Some of the common functions control panels perform include:
- Switching facility equipment on and off for normal and emergency operations
- Adjusting processing conditions to accommodate current demand
- Informing facility managers and workers of current system conditions
At Astro Machine Works, we have extensive experience assisting our customers with the automation of control panels. We pour that knowledge and skill into creating great results for clients like you.

Benefits of Custom-Tailored Panel Wiring and Control Systems
Some of the general advantages of control panel systems include:
Smaller Equipment Requirements
Custom electrical control panels significantly reduce your machinery’s overall footprint. Unlike pneumatic control systems that rely on bulky air compressors and associated piping, electrical panels use compact components to manage and regulate machinery, freeing up valuable floor space within your facility.
Faster Response Time
Electrical signals travel at nearly the speed of light, allowing for immediate reaction to changes in process conditions or operator commands. This near-instantaneous response time leads to more precise control over machinery, maximizing your potential to enhance output quality and overall operational efficiency.
Lower Risk of Gradual Performance Loss
Well-engineered electrical control panels ensure a single issue doesn’t affect the performance of the entire system. Integrated diagnostics, such as alarms and PLC fault logs, allow for immediate and precise identification of the problem source and rapid component repair or replacement.
These features eliminate hidden costs and inefficiencies, resulting in minimized downtime, reduced loss of valuable production time and resources and increased process efficiency, predictability and stability.
Better Space Efficiency
Custom control panels are engineered to fit the exact dimensions and layout of your facility, optimizing space usage. By using smaller components, optimizing wiring routes and utilizing vertical space within the enclosure, control panel builders create compact and efficient control systems that fit perfectly within your available space.
