Are you locked in a cycle of OEM replacement parts from one vendor for your manufacturing machine?  Most Manufacturing equipment has hardware that's designed to last 30-40 years.  The problem?  Most of the control systems only last 10-20 years.  Proprietary replacement parts are often locked directly from the original manufacturer's over-inflated replacement costs.  That is if the original manufacturer is even still in business.  

We can retrofit that old machine with modern control systems, saving you thousands of dollars over purchasing a new machine or even over replacing obsolete parts.  Our control systems use standard hardware from leaders like Beckhoff and Allen-Bradley.  Each of our upgades come standard with a Ethernet connection and the ability to tie into your existing network for process monitoring, or database transaction logging.

Proven Benefites

• PLC based controls provide increased reliability and lower cost
• Increase in overall machine performance, most often increasing product throughput
• Provides easy access to critical operational and maintenance information.
• Increased graphics processing allows information to be graphed for statistical analysis
• Provides transaction recording for process traceablilty purposes
• Locally stocked spare parts for optimal uptime.
• Use of non-proprietary hardware avoids obsolescence.
• Energy savings thru advances in electronics technologies.
• Meets sustainability initiatives by reusing equipment that would normally be scrapped.
• Saves over purchasing new equipment.

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.
