Retrofit and Modernization Services

Bring your industrial facility up to the latest technology standard

Drive trains, automation and process systems as well as machine tools are at the core of industrial facilities. They need to run both safely and reliably – often for decades and under harsh conditions. As a result, they can easily come up against their limits – especially today, with ever-growing requirements. Thus, plant operators need intelligent concepts and solutions so that they can achieve their productivity and performance targets, while at the same time protecting their investments. This is precisely the goal of our Retrofit and Modernization Services.

Retrofit for Production Machines and Migration for Automation Systems

Production machines and automation systems

Standardized migration solutions from Siemens enable a smooth, safe and efficient transition to the latest automation technology. Our Retrofit for Production Machines is recommended for older production machines if the mechanical section contains a high proportion of steel or if the automation system is outdated and susceptible to fault.

Process control systems

In addition to preventive maintenance of the hardware platform, the optimized maintenance and modernization of PC-based control systems are key factors throughout the entire lifecycle.

Benefits Our Retrofit and Modernization Services not only reliably reduce the rising maintenance costs associated with an advanced lifecycle, but also increase plant availability. Additionally, they help identify and utilize additional efficiency and energy-saving potential – for example, by using energy-saving components and integrating them intelligently into the automation environment.

Reduction of costs

The modernization of machines and drive systems or automation and process systems is usually the more economical solution for prolonging the lifecycle of the entire plant.

Minimized unplanned downtimes

A smooth and reliable operation can be ensured if an existing product or system will be upgraded to the latest technology and safety standards.

Step-by-step digitalization

By modernizing installed components you get a comprehensive update to the latest technology standards, including Totally Integrated Automation, communication, and diagnostics.
