Modernize existing lines without full downtime.
Not every production line needs to be replaced. Often it is enough to phase out obsolete components, upgrade the software, or tackle bottlenecks. BC-Automation guides retrofit projects that extend the life of existing installations, with minimal impact on production.
Typical interventions
Replace obsolete components
Replace end-of-life PLC controllers, drives and HMIs with modern equivalents while preserving the mechanics.
Performance optimization
Cycle time analysis, bottleneck identification and targeted adjustments to increase throughput.
Safety upgrade
Update outdated safety circuits to current machinery directive standards with certified safety controllers.
Add connectivity
Connect existing machines to MES/ERP, OPC-UA gateways, and remote monitoring.
Service after delivery
Secure VPN connection for remote diagnosis and adjustment, often reactive within the hour.
Periodic on-site walkthroughs to detect hidden issues before they affect production.
Functional extensions on request, in the same codebase and framework as the original installation.
A project on the table?
Send through the specs or call to scope it out. No-strings, no commercial pressure.
