Retrofit & Modernization
New control technology for proven machines – planned, implemented and documented with minimal downtime.
Keep running instead of buying new
Many systems are mechanically in top condition – only the control technology is discontinued, spare parts become scarce and expensive. A retrofit solves this: new PLC, new drives, new safety technology, while the proven mechanics stay.
We plan the conversion to fit a scheduled downtime window – with an as-is analysis beforehand, a prepared control cabinet and tested software before the system ever stops.
Retrofit & Modernization
What we take care of
As-is analysis
Assessment of control system, drives, sensors and documentation – a solid conversion basis.
Controller migration
Replacement of discontinued controllers (e.g. S5 → TIA Portal) including new visualization.
Drives & safety
Modernization of drive technology and the safety concept to the current state of the art.
Conversion in the time window
Implementation during planned production breaks – with tested software for a fast restart.
