Upgrades and retrofits
A retrofit replaces obsolete controls, drives and screens with modern, supported equipment, and can add new features such as data collection, safety improvements and faster changeovers.
What the work includes
- Replacement of obsolete PLCs, drives and HMIs
- Additional sensors and safety devices
- Speed, accuracy and changeover improvements
- Connection to SCADA or production reporting
- Updated drawings and documentation
When to call us
- Controls are obsolete and spares are hard to find
- The machine is mechanically sound but unreliable
- You need production data from older machines
- Safety standards have moved on since the machine was built
Common questions
How long will the machine be out of service?
We prepare and test as much as possible in advance to keep downtime short, and agree the shutdown window with you.
Can a retrofit improve energy use?
Yes. Adding variable speed drives and better control frequently reduces energy consumption.
