Controlling Retrofits Budget constraints is often the main culprit for companies putting off replacing failing machinery. However, it may be your outdated hardware that’s failing you, and the machine itself could stay in the system much longer.
What are Control Retrofits?
Instead of replacing equipment in its entirety, controls retrofits replace old, high-value equipment with new parts. The reality is: your current machine could run much longer with less downtime. All you need is updated electrical and automation control systems.
Benefits of control Retrofits
You can expect a host of benefits from controlling retrofits, including:
- Increase machine and process reliability: Access real-time production information and remote monitoring so you can understand operations fully.
- Reducing costs: Pay less in capital investment for retrofits versus replacing equipment and realize ROI from the updates sooner.
- Protecting against unplanned downtime: Modern controllers have a much higher meantime between failures to keep your processes running uninterrupted.
- Extending the current machinery lifespan: Delay complete replacements when you update the components.
- Improving safety: Integrate I/O into the safety programming of the PLC, which could enhance safety and avert accidents.
- Better quality: Intelligent controls detect and correct inefficiencies before they become issues.
- Holistic process visibility: You can view diagnostic and performance data and pull reports.
Clearly, the benefits speak for themselves, but the methodology we map out for customers ensures nothing falls through the cracks.
