New Life for the Old
Production equipment and lines have been automated for some time now. Maintenance is essential to keep long-serving equipment operational. Control technology also needs to be updated from time to time to meet modern requirements and competition. The latest demands are particularly evident in safety devices, reporting, and quality monitoring.
In many cases, spare parts are no longer available for old systems, software has been lost, or modern machines are incompatible with old programs, making modifications to equipment laborious or even impossible. This creates a significant risk in the event of equipment failure. In such situations, modernizing the control technology gives the line a new life, as the mechanical structures of the equipment usually still have a long service life ahead.
Utilizing Old Equipment in a New Line
When designing new equipment, existing conveyors and machines can be utilized. Many machines can be brought nearly to a like-new condition with minor modifications, saving both time and costs.
Examples of modernization solutions
- Conveyor frames can be upgraded to like-new condition
- Parts from special-purpose machines can be reused in new machines
- The control system of the equipment can be upgraded to a modern standard
Outcome
Equipment Modernization – A Cost-Efficient and Sustainable Solution
Equipment modernization is an effective way to extend the service life of machines and improve their performance without major investments. Modernization upgrades old systems to meet modern requirements, such as safety standards and safety devices, while allowing the reuse of existing components. This increases production capacity and improves reliability in a cost-efficient way.
