Retrofitting
Retrofitting is where strategic technical upgrades are made to existing machines. This may involve updating mechanical components, control systems, or software solutions to improve the performance of the plant.
Typical retrofitting measures include:
- Modernization of control and automation systems
- Integration of new sensor technology and digital technologies
- Optimization of safety and control components
- Improvement of machine performance and process stability
- Adaptation to new production requirements
These measures enable machines to continue to be operated in the long term and also be brought up-to-date to the latest technology standards.
Machine overhaul for an extended system life
In addition to retrofitting projects, WINTERSTEIGER also offers full machine overhauls. This involves carrying out a technical review of machines or individual assemblies, repairing them, and then modernizing them where required.
Examples of these services include:
Economical alternative to new investments
Modern production plants are made up of a large number of interconnected systems. In addition to the machines themselves, automation, sensor technology, and digital control systems play a key role here.
WINTERSTEIGER plans systems in such a way that:
- Machines and automation systems work together in an optimal way
- Material flows are organized efficiently
- Digital systems for process monitoring can be incorporated
- Production lines can be flexibly expanded
