HMI Retrofit & PanelView Replacement in Tampa
Operator interfaces upgraded before a dead screen stops the line, across Allen-Bradley PanelView and every other major HMI platform.
HMI Retrofit in Tampa
Not every dead operator terminal is a PanelView. We see just as many failing Siemens, Red Lion, Maple Systems, and generic touch-panel HMIs running screens that were designed 15+ years ago for a process that’s since changed twice. A retrofit is a chance to fix both problems at once: replace failing hardware, and rebuild the screens so they actually reflect how the line runs today, with clearer alarms and fewer screens operators have to hunt through.
We handle the full retrofit: hardware selection, screen design, PLC communication setup, and on-site commissioning with your operators so the new interface is intuitive on day one, not just functional.
PanelView Replacement in Tampa
PanelView Standard terminals (550, 600, 900, 1000) have no repair path left. When the screen or touch digitizer fails, the terminal is done. PanelView Plus 6 is approaching the same end of life. Either way, an operator interface failure can stop a line just as fast as a processor failure, and it’s often more urgent because operators can’t run the machine at all without it.
We replace obsolete PanelView terminals with current Rockwell HMI hardware (or a suitable alternative), rebuild the screens to match your process rather than shipping a generic template, and integrate the new terminal into your existing panel, or a new UL 508A panel if the enclosure needs updating too.

How it works
Retrofit Assessment
We walk the plant, inventory every control platform, and hand you a written report: what is obsolete, what a failure would cost, and what we would recommend.
Written Scope
A fixed-price proposal for the retrofit, with a schedule that works around your production calendar.
Build, Install, Commission
Panel built and tested in our Largo shop, installed on your timeline, commissioned on-site with your team.
Frequently asked questions
PanelView is Allen-Bradley’s HMI product line, so a PanelView replacement is one specific kind of HMI retrofit. We use the same process either way (new hardware, redesigned screens, full commissioning), whether you’re running PanelView, Siemens, Red Lion, or another platform.
Yes. We can rebuild screens to match how your operators already work the line, or take the opportunity to simplify and modernize them. We’ll talk through both during the assessment.
Call us directly. HMI failures are one of the most common emergency calls we get, and we prioritize line-down situations.
