Modernization & Retrofit

Upgrade legacy systems with new PLCs, HMIs, and IoT connectivity.

Our Modernization & Retrofit services help you extend the life and performance of existing machines and production lines by upgrading their “brain and nervous system” instead of replacing everything from scratch. We focus on bringing legacy equipment up to modern standards with new PLCs, HMIs, drives, and IoT connectivity—unlocking better reliability, visibility, and control while protecting your previous investments in machinery and tooling.

Starting from a thorough audit of your current systems, we assess PLC platforms, wiring, sensors, drives, safety circuits, and operator interfaces. Based on this, we propose a practical modernization roadmap: what to keep, what to replace, and how to phase upgrades with minimal downtime. Typical scopes include migrating obsolete PLCs to modern platforms, redesigning control panels, replacing hard-wired pushbuttons with intuitive HMIs, and standardizing communication networks (Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus TCP, etc.) across your plant.

We also enable your machines to become part of the connected factory. By integrating industrial IoT gateways, data logging, and connectivity to MES/ERP or cloud dashboards, your legacy equipment can provide real-time data on production, alarms, energy usage, and machine health. This opens the door to better OEE monitoring, predictive maintenance, and data-driven decision making—without the cost of buying new machines.

Throughout the retrofit process, we manage risk and change carefully: creating migration plans, performing testing in a staging environment where possible, and scheduling cutovers around your production needs. After commissioning, we provide updated documentation, training, and long-term support to ensure your team is comfortable with the new control architecture.

Key capabilities:

  • Upgrade of legacy PLCs to modern, supported platforms
  • Redesign and replacement of HMIs for safer, more intuitive operation
  • Retrofit of control panels, drives, sensors, and safety components
  • Standardization of industrial networks and fieldbus communication
  • Integration of IoT gateways for data collection and remote monitoring
  • Migration planning, staged implementation, and minimal-downtime cutovers
  • Full as-built documentation, training, and ongoing technical support

With our Modernization & Retrofit services, your existing machines gain a new life—more reliable, more connected, and ready to meet today’s production and data requirements.
