Machine Retrofits

For many users, retrofitting or modernizing their machines or complete lines is the solution for giving these investments a “second lifetime.”

For many users, retrofitting or modernizing their machines or complete lines is the solution for giving these investments a “second lifetime.” Though the mechanics are often in good condition, the electronics and drive engineering frequently require updating. Retrofits are therefore an increasingly viable option for the electrical portion of the system.

Advantages

By modernizing your line, you will achieve the following important advantages, depending upon your equipment and the extent of the retrofit:

  • Increased availability
  • Increased productivity
  • More convenient operation, improved human-machine interface (HMI)
  • Increased storage capacity
  • Reduced downtime and standstill periods
  • Extended availability of spare parts and service support
  • Reliable and safe data management
  • State-of-the-art networking capabilities
  • Remote maintenance capabilities by modem or Internet
