Best Digital Panel Meters for Factory Use – Our Top Picks (Malaysia Guide)

In today’s smart factory environment, having accurate, real-time display of readings like pressure, flow, temperature, or level is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. That’s where Digital Panel Meters (DPMs) come in.

But with so many brands and models out there, how do you choose the right one for your industrial setup in Malaysia?

Let us simplify it for you.

At Celectric, we’ve worked with hundreds of engineers and factory owners. Based on real-life applications and customer feedback, here are our Top 3 digital panel meters that are proven, reliable, and factory-tough.


1. Precision Digital PD6000 – Universal Display Powerhouse

If you want one meter that can do almost everything, the PD6000 from Precision Digital is your best bet.

Key Features:

  • Accepts signals: 4-20mA, 0-10V, pulse, and more

  • Large 1.2” LED display (visible from across the room!)

  • Dual relays for alarm/control

  • Modbus RTU RS485 output (great for integration)

Ideal For:

  • Pressure transmitter display
