Thanks for visiting MSL we are Industrial Controls Specialists. We have been designing, manufacturing & commissioning control systems of all types and sizes for 40+ years (yes that long!), here you will find our offering and examples of projects.
While modern control systems have evolved in terms of processing power and connectivity, many still suffer from poor usability and outdated interface design. They are often built with a strong focus on hardware capabilities or legacy integration, but not enough attention is paid to the operator experience.
This lack of user-centered design introduces several challenges. Systems may require extensive training for engineers and operators to use effectively, which delays onboarding and increases dependency on a small group of experienced personnel. The interface logic can be unintuitive, making routine diagnostics or configuration tasks time-consuming and error-prone.
Furthermore, inconsistent or unclear feedback from the system can lead to misinterpretation of operational states, increasing the likelihood of human error—potentially resulting in unplanned downtime, process inefficiencies, or safety risks. In complex environments where speed, precision, and reliability are essential, a poorly designed control interface becomes a hidden cost that compounds over time.
These issues are especially problematic in industries where flexibility, scalability, and real-time decision-making are critical, yet the tools in place fail to support those demands in a user-friendly and reliable manner.
Thank you for visiting! We are Industrial Controls Specialists—your trusted partner in control system design, manufacturing, and commissioning for over 40 years (yes, it really has been that long!).
With decades of hands-on experience across a wide range of industries, we bring a deep understanding of automation, electrical engineering, and system integration to every project we take on.
In my short but intense career I have helped deliver numerous projects in key business sectors, Automotive, Food & Beverage, Material handling & Machining lines.
I pride myself on my work and aim to continue developing my skills, learning and integrating the latest automation technologies into businesses to help them achieve their full manufacturing capabilities. Thank you for visiting our site we look forward to hearing from you.
