B&K Electric Wholesale has launched a 120-day PLC/HMI Standardization Roadmap designed to help machine builders reduce engineering time, accelerate commissioning, and improve supply chain stability.

The structured process guides builders through discovery, platform evaluation (Schneider, ABB, and Red Lion), live machine validation, and development of a documented “Builder Control Standard.” The result is a repeatable control architecture supported by aligned inventory planning and direct manufacturer engagement.

By standardizing platforms and programming frameworks, builders can expect reduced engineering hours, faster startups, and improved service consistency.

“Standardization gives machine builders a stronger foundation to scale,” said Jason Edwards, VP of Sales & Marketing at B&K. “It protects schedules, improves margins, and supports long-term growth.”

With local engineering support and strategic stocking alignment, B&K provides more than components, it delivers a roadmap to smarter automation.
