Modern Controls for Safer, Smarter Production

PLC, Strip Motion Drive and Control Upgrades

What Are Control System Upgrades?


As control technology evolves, many older coil processing lines—still mechanically sound—face growing risk from outdated or unsupported electrical systems. At Braner USA, we offer complete control system upgrade packages for Braner lines using relay logic or legacy platforms like Allen-Bradley RSLogix 500, which are now obsolete.

Our team evaluates your existing setup and recommends a modern controls package using current-generation PLCs, remote I/O, and scalable architecture that supports future automation and safety integration.
