Refurbish or Retool Existing Equipment

In many cases, the mechanics of the system are sound but the controls are failing and spare parts are scarce or nonexistent. Older systems, moreover, present greater troubleshooting challenges as the software and programming platforms become obsolete and are at the end of their useable life. Even if you get your system up and running again today, it is likely to present you with new challenges in the very near future.

A basic control system upgrade or some component retooling can provide many years of additional longevity to a machine or system. In addition, emerging technologies help provide enhanced performance, along with improved and simplified data handling capabilities. Conversions further improve uptime and simplify maintenance through commonality in control system platforms.
