Here's a panel we made around 10 years ago...

Boyyito,
It looks just fine to me, the only thing I would change is run the rail the full width of space, there's nothing worse than having to add a few extra terminals with no rail space.
Easily fixed in your case, just remove the rail you have and put in a longer one.
Other than that it looks great.

Here's a tiny enclosure I built a few years ago out of used bits and pieces on a shoestring budget (note the obsolete 160SSC drives). In retrospect, I wish I had made it bigger. It looked so spacious on the CAD layout before all those pesky wires were installed.

Not a great photo of it but here's one of our latest... This panel controls three separate wax injection presses with Red Lion G315s on the machines telling the CLogix what to do. The e-net switch in the bottom right connects the RLs, CL, and a Turck BL67 setup on each machine.

No,
before they set us up on VPN, client is in BC we are in Ontario, Dial Up RAS was the only method of support. They used that phone to ensure the phone line was alive as the same line was share with the plant's store front Interac line.
They had a toggle switch that switched to the modem in the door mounted SCADA PC or the Interac terminal.
