Your Trusted Partner in Automation

At Control System Services, we were born from a simple truth: not every organization can, or should, abandon their legacy control systems just because a new trend hits the market. With over 30 years of hands-on experience in industrial automation and controls, we understand both the technologies of yesterday and the innovations of today. That makes us uniquely positioned to consult, design, and implement tailored automation solutions for your exact needs, no matter where you are in your modernization journey.

We recognize that budget constraints, operational demands, and supply chain disruptions often make full-scale upgrades impractical. But here’s the reality: legacy systems can’t be ignored forever. When, not if, your system fails, will you be able to wait weeks or even months for replacement parts that are no longer manufactured?

This is where CSS delivers real value. We specialize in:

  1. Supporting and maintaining legacy control systems to keep you running strong today
  2. Assessing system health and identifying risks before downtime strikes
  3. Planning gradual, phased upgrades that align with your budget and production needs
  4. Executing full control system conversions to boost efficiency, safety, and productivity

Whether you’re looking to extend the life of your current system, take the first step toward modernization, or overhaul your plant’s automation infrastructure, we’re here to guide you. With deep knowledge across platforms and industries, we’ll develop a practical path forward; your pace, your priorities, your budget.

Give us a call for a no-obligation assessment. Let CSS put our decades of experience to work, so you can plan confidently, operate efficiently, and grow sustainably.

Electrical Controls

PLC's are the heart of any automated control system. But what about the electrical wires that tie everything together? Our exerienced controls electricians are available to troubleshoot, repair, add to, or upgrade your entire electrical control system.

Troubleshooting

At CSS, we know there are going to be times when you need us after hours. It's not your fault, and we will never punish you for calling us for help by charging an additional fee or overtime rates. We are your partner and we promise you will only ever pay our standard hourly rate for after hours services.

Complete Solution

At Control System Services, we understand that not every business has the luxury of deep pockets or corporate backing and that’s perfectly okay. Innovation doesn’t always require massive budgets. It requires creativity, experience, and a willingness to think outside the box.

That’s exactly what we do.

We collaborate closely with our clients to craft smart, practical solutions that not only meet technical requirements but also respect real-world budget constraints. Whether you're maintaining legacy equipment, solving tough automation challenges, or planning strategic improvements, we tailor every solution to fit your operation, not the other way around.

With decades of hands-on industry knowledge, we know how to squeeze the most value out of every investment. We'll help you implement a system that performs better than expected without over-engineering or overspending.

Projects

Some of our recent projects included re-routing of sour cream through various different holding tanks at a dairy in California. This helped them increase production capacity by 37%.

We had an asphalt plant in Colorado go down and they were not able to diagnose the problem for a week. When they gave us a call, we had to jump on a plane right away to help troubleshoot the issue. We were able to get them running in 3 hours, after connecting to their old Allen-Bradley SLC 5/04 controllers. This was very costly to the plant so CSS designed and installed a remote access solution that allows us to communicate DH+ to the PLC's and support the facilty remotely. Next time they have an issue, we are one phone call away.

CSS recently won a project to upgrade the PLC's of 3 different packaging machines. The machines were using older AB SLC500 controllers and very old Panelview Standards, along with AB 1305 VFD's. CSS converted the old code, installed CompactLogix controllers with all new IO, Panelview Plus 7's and all new PowerFlex VFD's, which were all networked together.
