Custom Engineering & Manufacturing Services

Hampshire Controls provides custom engineering services for OEMs, industrial facilities, laboratories, and commercial monitoring and logging applications. The company can modify existing monitoring products or develop new monitoring and control systems based on specific application requirements. With engineering and manufacturing performed in-house, Hampshire Controls can support projects from initial product development through assembly, testing, and calibration.

Customization of Standard Monitoring and Alarm Systems

Hampshire Controls works with OEMs, government agencies, research laboratories, and industrial customers to adapt standard monitoring and alarm products for specialized applications. This includes temperature monitoring systems and temperature alarm systems configured around the conditions, sensors, notifications, and communication methods required for your application.

The company also provides condition monitoring and condition alarm systems for factors such as temperature, relative humidity, CO2, and other measurable conditions. Systems can monitor selected parameters, log data, and provide alerts when readings reach specified limits.

Customization options include:

  • Analog and digital sensors, including temperature sensors from -200°C to +400°C, resistive, voltage, current, I2C, and SPI sensors
  • Application-specific firmware and wired or wireless connectivity through RF, Wi-Fi, or Cellular LTE
  • Ethernet and Wi-Fi integration for networked data logging and alarm systems
  • Digital, analog, and relay outputs for process monitoring and control
  • Horns, strobes, and other audio or visual signaling devices
  • Variable LCD types and sizes
  • Private labeling and custom panel sizes, colors, and OEM artwork
  • NEMA/IP-rated enclosures for harsh environments

Fully Custom Design and Manufacturing Services

For applications requiring a new product, Hampshire Controls provides complete custom design and manufacturing services. The company develops monitoring and control systems for OEM, laboratory, and manufacturing applications, combining mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, programming, and manufacturing capabilities.

Whether you need a new temperature monitoring system, condition alarm system, or another specialized monitoring product, Hampshire Controls can develop the hardware and software around your requirements. This approach gives you a direct path from product concept through production.

Mechanical and Electrical Engineering

Hampshire Controls provides custom engineering services for customized enclosures that meet specific environmental requirements, including NEMA/IP ratings. The company can also produce overlay and panel designs with graphic layouts and customized logos.

Electrical engineering services include analog, digital, and mixed-signal PCB design, along with microcontroller selection to reduce unnecessary components. Engineers can develop sensor data acquisition, amplification, and filtering circuits for accurate monitoring. Power supply designs can support line-powered, battery-powered, or mixed-power applications, including low-power devices.

These capabilities support the development of reliable temperature monitoring systems, relative humidity, CO2, and other application-specific conditions.

Firmware, Manufacturing, Testing, and Calibration

Hampshire Controls develops application-specific firmware in-house and can implement industry-standard or proprietary communication protocols based on system requirements. This allows temperature alarm systems and other condition monitoring systems to communicate with connected equipment and networks as needed.

Manufacturing services include PCB soldering, cable manufacturing, subsystem interfacing, and final electronic product assembly. Completed products undergo electronic testing, burn-in, and calibration before delivery.

With engineering, programming, manufacturing, testing, and calibration handled in-house, Hampshire Controls provides a practical resource for developing and producing specialized temperature monitoring systems and other condition monitoring systems.   Contact Hampshire Controls. to discuss your application and determine the right approach for your next monitoring or alarm system.

Services FAQs

Hampshire Controls has extensive expertise in the design and manufacture of single- and multi-sensor environmental monitoring systems. We can supply sensors covering a wide variety of environmental parameters including, but not limited to, temperature, humidity, pressure, gas concentration, and liquid level (including liquid nitrogen (LN2) and other cryogenic liquids). The sensing devices can also be part of more complex designs interfacing with items such as solenoid operated valves (e.g., CO2 and LN2 freezer backup systems), power switching relays, alarm panels, and data logging hardware generating simple data files or SQL database entries. System-level communication can use various wireless or wired hardware (RF, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, RS-232/422/485, etc.) and common or customer-specified communication protocols (BACnet, Modbus, MQTT, HTTP/HTTPS, etc.).

Hampshire Controls designs and manufactures custom-designed products for laboratories, manufacturing facilities, and industrial environments. Hampshire Controls can also manufacture NEMA/IP rated enclosures for harsh environments.

Hampshire Controls has recently designed and manufactured single-unit, application-specific condition monitoring systems as well as high unit volume temperature monitoring, alarm, and alert notification systems for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

We recently designed and manufactured a 6-probe alert system monitoring liquid nitrogen (LN2) levels in dewars storing equine sperm samples. The system provides audio and visual alarms and email alert notifications when liquid nitrogen falls below targeted levels in any of the 6 dewars.

Hampshire Controls has designed single- and multi-channel, high unit volume temperature monitoring, alarm, and alert notification systems for OEM customers in the clinical, food and beverage, water distribution and plumbing, manufacturing, and industrial markets.

Temperature verification for blood and other bagged biological products and liquid nitrogen dosing and valving are other areas of expertise that Hampshire Controls has leveraged to design and manufacture products for OEM customers.

The time Hampshire Controls requires for the design, development, and delivery of a custom-designed system depends upon the nature of the design. Private labeling of an existing Hampshire Controls product might take only a month or two, whereas the development of a completely new electronic monitoring or control system might take 18 to 24 months.

Yes, Hampshire Controls can provide prototypes within a few weeks, especially for temperature and other condition monitoring applications. Hampshire Controls has an extensive single- and multi-probe condition monitoring product line, and it is almost always possible to quickly modify an existing product for the targeted application.
