Retrofitting controls on an older machine is a cost-effective way to bring legacy equipment up to modern performance, safety, and automation standards, without the expense of purchasing entirely new machinery. E’Mation accomplished this by replacing outdated or unsupported control components, such as relays, timers, and obsolete PLCs, with current-generation control systems.
This upgrade enhances reliability and repeatability, reduces downtime due to obsolete parts, and can improve efficiency through better process control and real-time data monitoring. Retrofitted systems can also integrate with newer plant automation infrastructure, allowing for better communication, remote diagnostics, and compliance with Industry 4.0 initiatives.
Mechanical systems are typically left intact unless upgrades are needed, which significantly reduces the cost and lead time compared to purchasing a new machine. The result is a modernized piece of equipment that delivers improved performance, increased uptime, and a longer operational lifespan—all while leveraging your existing assets.
