Retrofit as a coordinated modernisation project
i4AE supports plant modernisation from defining the technical scope to the agreed implementation. Control, operation, drives and data integration are considered together as required.
Scope of work
Technical tasks
- Compare the baseline and target design
- define work packages and dependencies
- separate preparatory work from on-site intervention
Modernisation approaches compared
| Service / solution | Focus |
|---|---|
| Retrofit as a coordinated modernisation project | Modernise existing plants with an agreed scope covering PLCs, HMI, drives and interfaces. |
| Which PLC modernisation approach fits your plant? | Retain, partly replace or migrate a controller: assess I/O, interfaces and the target system for a PLC retrofit. |
| PLC retrofit in an operating production environment | Plan changeover, checks and restart around the operating constraints of a production plant. |

Discuss the technical scope
Free initial technical consultation – up to 30 minutes by phone or video, by appointment.
Consider data integration during retrofit
Available interfaces and required data points are included in the change scope. The task determines whether local storage or another system is needed.
