Equipment Retrofits and Upgrades
Why Automate?
The efficiency of the printing process leans heavily on accurate tuning, integration and exact synchronization of the subsystems involved. If one area is not working to its full potential, printers may experience a severely limited output from the entire machine. The limitations may show through a combination of reduced production speed, quality imperfections, or added maintenance costs, all of which will negatively impact the bottom line. The answer doesn’t have to be to make the large capital expenditure of purchasing new automated machines.
The mission of our print industry solutions is to upgrade your machine with state-of-the-art components and controls to reach performance levels at or beyond the capabilities of your equipment when it was new
There's more that can be automated with an engineered robotic system
Are you struggling with repetitive manual tasks that slow down production and increase labor costs?
01

What could you possibly gain from an equipment control system upgrade?
Equipment Lifespan
A control system retrofit can significantly extend the operational lifespan of converting equipment by replacing obsolete components with modern, reliable technology. By upgrading drives, servo motors, and PLCs, older machines gain improved precision, diagnostic capabilities, and energy efficiency—often matching or exceeding the performance of new systems. This not only delays costly capital equipment replacement but also maximizes ROI from existing assets.
Lower Maintenance
A control system retrofit reduces maintenance costs by replacing outdated, failure-prone components with modern, more reliable technology. Advanced diagnostics, improved motion control, and streamlined wiring minimize unplanned downtime and simplify troubleshooting. This leads to fewer service calls, lower spare parts inventory, and more predictable maintenance schedules.
Uptime
A control system retrofit significantly boosts equipment uptime by eliminating obsolete components and enhancing system reliability. With modern motion controllers, real-time monitoring, and built-in fault detection, issues can be identified and resolved faster—often before they cause downtime. The result is smoother production, fewer interruptions, and greater overall equipment availability.
Production Rate
Upgrading to a modern control system allows for faster, more precise motion control—translating directly into higher production rates. Enhanced synchronization, tighter process control, and reduced cycle times help equipment run at optimal speeds without sacrificing quality. This increased efficiency enables you to meet higher demand with the same equipment footprint.
Increase Profit
A control system retrofit boosts your bottom line by enhancing operational efficiency, reducing downtime, and lowering maintenance costs, all of which contribute to higher throughput and less wasted time. With optimized production processes, you'll see a better return on investment through increased output, fewer machine failures, and improved resource management. Ultimately, the retrofit helps maximize profitability by ensuring equipment performs at its peak potential.
