Control System Upgrades and Retrofits

We've all been there before... your production line is down and you need critical parts fast for a 20 year old machine. So here you go again, forced to pay the manufacturer's over-inflated prices for obsolete, never-stocked parts to get you by until the next component's lifespan expires. You realize a new machine would solve your problem and offer all the advantages of today's technology; however, non-existent capital budgets and the business interruption associated with a new installation leave you little option.

Well...there is another option...consider a control system upgrade or retrofit. A vast majority of equipment built 10-20 years ago was designed to last 30-40 years if maintained properly, but not so with the control system. Control systems are like today's personal computers, they become obsolete before the machine reaches end of life. With proprietary systems, this can become an extremely expensive realization.

Control system upgrades can save you thousands of dollars over purchasing a new machine or even over replacing obsolete parts. Our control system designs never use hard to get or proprietary hardware. We only use industry recognized suppliers, like Allen-Bradley and General Electric, so spare parts are plentiful and in most cases stocked locally. In addition, each of our upgrades come standard equipped with Ethernet and Web based connectivity, providing easy connectivity to your in-house networks.
