Many customers are aware of the availability of custom automation solutions and industrial control panels. However, what they may not realize is that there are opportunities to save on expenditures through retrofits, rebuilds, and repairs of existing equipment. It is not always necessary to invest in a completely new custom solution to positively impact your production operations.
“Rebuild” and “Retrofit” Sound Similar, But Are Not The Same
Although the terms “rebuild” and “retrofit” are often used interchangeably, they refer to very different scopes of work. Both options allow manufacturers to upgrade existing industrial equipment without incurring the full cost of replacement, but there are distinct differences between them.
A rebuild involves a comprehensive process, replacing many, if not all, major components, as well as some minor ones, resulting in a machine that operates like new. In contrast, a retrofit is a simpler and more limited approach; it involves adding new technology or features to an existing machine that were not part of the original design. Retrofits can be completed by incorporating additional components and features without the need to replace existing parts. With over four decades of experience, our engineering specialists have the tools and expertise to deliver new custom automation solutions, as well as retrofits, rebuilds, and repair projects.
