I like to use Volts software for making conduit schedules and material lists, calculating conduit runs and fils,etc it makes it much faster http://www.dolphins-software.com/
Also it sounds like you are doing a lot of point to point wiring? Why no on machine IO or networked IO?
We normally set a point IO, flex IO block or 1756 IO in a small sub panel in logical locations of IO groups then we just need to run a powwer cable 24 vdc or 120 vac and a ethernet cable.
Easier and more cost effective to install in almost all cases and IMO makes maintenance and troubleshooting easier.
