We modernise existing machines and production systems in a targeted manner, covering controls, HMI, drive technology, electrics and machine safety. The scope is based on the system condition, documentation and planned production target.

01 · INITIAL SITUATION

WHEN A MACHINE RETROFIT MAKES SENSE.

A machine retrofit retains the serviceable core of the existing equipment. Controls, drives, electrics, operation, safety and documentation are then modernised following a technical assessment.

SYSTEM ASSESSMENT

Assess the existing machine and documentation

Circuit diagrams, software versions, spare-parts availability, safety functions and mechanical condition are recorded before the solution is specified.

MIGRATION

Plan the retrofit concept and downtime

The legacy and new systems, signal mapping, interfaces and fallback strategy are planned to keep downtime manageable.

DOCUMENTATION

Document the machine modernisation

Software, electrical documentation, parameters, test records and the safety assessment are updated to the new system status.

Technical modernisation and repair of an industrial system

02 · RETROFIT CONCEPT

RETROFIT CONCEPT WITH PLANNED DOWNTIME.

Obsolescence, fault history and safety-related changes are prioritised according to their operational impact. This results in a staged modernisation plan with defined conversion packages.

Assessment of mechanics, electrics, software, drives and safety

Prioritise obsolescence, spare-parts and backup risks transparently

Migrate PLC/HMI, drives, sensors and switchgear in a targeted manner

FAT/SAT, restart, documentation update and operator training

03 · RECOMMISSIONING & SERVICE

A MODERNISED MACHINE, SAFELY BACK IN PRODUCTION.

The modernised machine is tested, documented and recommissioned under production conditions. We remain your technical contact for support, maintenance and future modifications.

BACKUP

PLC, HMI AND PARAMETER BACKUPS

Programs, parameters, recipes and existing documentation are checked and versioned before work begins.

INTERFACES

INTERFACES AND SIGNAL MAPPING

Signals to the machine, peripherals and higher-level control system are recorded, tested and transferred into traceable mapping.

CONVERSION

CONVERSION WITHIN THE PLANNED DOWNTIME WINDOW

Control-cabinet preparation, software, simulation and pre-assembly reduce work and surprises during the downtime window.

RAMP-UP & SERVICE

TESTED AND RETURNED TO PRODUCTION

We validate functions and safety, support the restart and remain available for faults, maintenance and future modifications.

04 · IMPLEMENTATION

MACHINE MODERNISATION PROCESS.

The project is structured into assessment, technical implementation and production ramp-up.

Assess the system and risks

On site, we assess condition, fault history, documentation, spare parts, interfaces and possible conversion windows.

Prepare and test the migration concept

Hardware, software, signal mapping, safety functions and the fallback option are prepared before the downtime.

Convert and restart under controlled conditions

Installation is followed by functional testing, production programs, documentation updates and handover to operations and maintenance.
