Your customer sees one machine.
Behind it may be PLC programming, operator interfaces, drives, motion control, industrial networks, electrical design, control panels, testing, commissioning, and years of support.
Systems Interface works directly with OEMs and machine builders as an extension of their engineering capabilities, helping develop the automation and controls behind the equipment they deliver.
Bring us a complete specification, an existing design, or simply the machine you're trying to build.
We'll meet you where the engineering starts.
Sometimes you need more controls capacity.
Sometimes you need expertise your internal team does not maintain.
Sometimes the equipment is evolving faster than the controls behind it.
And sometimes your customer has specified a platform, architecture, or integration requirement that changes the project entirely.
Systems Interface can support an individual part of the controls scope or work alongside your team across the complete equipment lifecycle.
That gives OEMs access to controls engineering, electrical design, software development, panel manufacturing, testing, commissioning, and field support without having to assemble a different partner for every stage.
The controls should support the machine, not force the machine into a generic architecture.
SII starts by understanding how the equipment needs to operate, how the operator will use it, what the end customer requires, and how the system will be supported once it leaves your facility.
From there, we can help develop:
The result is a controls package engineered as part of the equipment rather than added to it at the end.
For OEMs, a successful control system should not only work on the first machine.
It should create a stronger foundation for the next one.
Systems Interface can help develop standardized control architectures, programming approaches, panel designs, operator interfaces, documentation, and testing processes that can be reused and adapted across equipment families.
That can reduce unnecessary variation between builds, make commissioning more predictable, and create equipment that is easier for both your team and your customers to understand and support.
As the equipment evolves, the controls can evolve with it.
OEMs do not always get to standardize on a single automation platform.
One customer may specify Allen-Bradley. Another may operate Siemens. Existing equipment may require integration with legacy Modicon, GE, Mitsubishi, Opto 22, or other platforms.
Systems Interface brings experience across generations of industrial automation technology, including:
Allen-Bradley / Rockwell Automation, including ControlLogix, CompactLogix, GuardLogix, PLC-5, SLC 500, and MicroLogix; Siemens S7 and TIA Portal; Modicon; GE; Mitsubishi; Texas Instruments; Koyo; Square D; Westinghouse; and Opto 22 SNAP PAC.
FactoryTalk View SE and ME, Ignition, Wonderware / AVEVA, custom SCADA development, historian systems, reporting, and SQL integration.
PowerFlex drives, Kinetix servo systems, VFDs, servo motion, coordinated and multi-axis motion, and AC and DC drive systems.
EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP, Modbus RTU, DeviceNet, ControlNet, Profibus, fiber networks, managed industrial switches, remote access, and industrial wireless communications.
That breadth allows the control strategy to be driven by the application and customer requirements rather than by a narrow technology offering.
SII is also a Rockwell Automation Gold Level System Integrator Partner with additional recognized Rockwell capabilities in low-voltage drives, general motion, and water/wastewater integration.
Controls engineering and panel manufacturing are closely connected.
Systems Interface operates a UL 508A and UL 698A control panel facility with more than 30 manufacturing personnel and the capacity to support custom, OEM, and higher-volume panel production. SII's existing panel operation specifically supports OEM panel builds and repeat production.
For OEM partners, that creates a direct connection between the engineers developing the controls and the team manufacturing the hardware.
SII can support:
If you already have the engineering complete and simply need a capable manufacturing partner, SII can support that too.
OEM work does not end when the equipment leaves the shop.
Systems Interface can remain involved through integration, factory testing, installation support, startup, commissioning, troubleshooting, and future modifications.
That continuity matters because the people troubleshooting the controls in the field can be connected to the engineering decisions made at the beginning.
It also gives OEM partners another level of support when equipment is deployed across different customer environments or when an issue requires controls expertise after delivery.
Systems Interface's relationship with Markey Machine demonstrates what a long-term OEM controls partnership can look like.
SII has worked alongside Markey as a controls partner on automated marine deck machinery, combining Markey's mechanical equipment with SII's control systems, drives, HMIs, panel manufacturing, commissioning, and support capabilities.
That relationship has supported hundreds of automated winch systems and more than 30 years of design experience in demanding marine applications.
SII supports equipment builders and food-processing partners with controls engineering, UL-listed panel fabrication, commissioning, modernization, troubleshooting, and lifecycle support.
Controls collaboration supporting pasta-processing and production equipment.
Automation support for packaging equipment and integrated production systems.
SII designs and supplies complete liquid cream yeast systems for industrial bakeries.
One of the advantages of working with a full-service integrator is what happens when the machine becomes part of something larger.
Your equipment may eventually need to communicate with a plant SCADA system, exchange production data, integrate with other machines, operate on the customer's industrial network, or fit into an existing control architecture.
Systems Interface works on both sides of that line.
SII supports OEM equipment as well as plant-wide and infrastructure control systems, giving our engineers experience with the environment your equipment may eventually need to enter.
That can make the handoff from machine to system much cleaner.
SII can support controls engineering, PLC programming, HMI development, electrical controls design, drives and motion, industrial networking, control panel manufacturing, testing, commissioning, field service, and ongoing lifecycle support.
Yes. SII can support a defined portion of the controls scope or work alongside your internal engineering team across multiple stages of equipment development and delivery.
Yes. SII's UL-listed panel operation supports customer-supplied designs as well as panels engineered by SII. The current facility supports custom builds, OEM panels, and higher-volume production.
Yes. SII can help develop repeatable control architectures, software approaches, HMI standards, panel designs, documentation, and testing processes that can be adapted across equipment families.
SII has experience across a broad range of PLC, PAC, SCADA, HMI, networking, drive, and motion technologies. That allows the engineering approach to accommodate customer requirements and existing plant standards.
Yes. SII provides startup, commissioning, troubleshooting, remote diagnostics, on-site field service, engineering modifications, upgrades, and lifecycle support.
When an OEM delivers equipment, the customer does not separate the mechanical design from the controls.
They experience one machine.
Systems Interface helps make sure the automation behind that machine reflects the same quality, reliability, and thought that went into everything else.
Whether you need additional controls capacity for one project or an engineering relationship that can grow across an equipment line, bring us what you're building.
