Our Solutions

Controls, Upgrades & Retrofits

Controls, Upgrades & Retrofits from Card-Monroe Automation provide comprehensive modernization solutions for existing automation and process control systems. These services focus on assessing, updating, and enhancing legacy control platforms to improve performance, reliability, and integration with modern smart manufacturing technologies. We begin with control system audits to evaluate current PLCs, HMIs, networks, and instrumentation. Based on findings, we develop tailored upgrade paths — from minor software enhancements to full hardware retrofits and migrations to newer platforms (including Rockwell Automation and other leading systems). These projects are delivered as part of turnkey solutions, often including custom control panel fabrication from our UL 508A panel shop, seamless integration with robotics and material handling, and ongoing support through Card-Monroe Services.
