Existing system development

Machine and production line modernisation

We renew control systems, extend machine functions and prepare migrations so that the change remains predictable, testable and properly documented.

Service scope

Modernisation based on understanding the current system

Before replacing hardware or restructuring software, we review process logic, documentation, communications and dependencies between devices. This separates hardware, software and operational issues.

  • Program, signal and connection inventory
  • PLC controller or HMI panel migration
  • Machine sequence and feature extension
  • Alarm and diagnostic improvement
  • Integration of new drives, sensors and devices
  • Updated project backups and documentation

Controlled change

A plan designed to limit shutdown risk

We separate work that can be prepared offline from tasks that require machine access. The test order and rollback conditions are agreed before commissioning.

01

Technical audit

Program backups, device versions, I/O, communications and critical process functions.

02

Preparation

New code, configuration, signal mapping, test plan and work schedule.

03

Changeover

Staged commissioning, function tests, acceptance and project file handover.

When to modernise

Signs that a control system needs a planned change

Unavailable components

Controllers, panels or modules are discontinued and spare stock is difficult to maintain.

Unclear diagnostics

Operators can see the effect of a fault but receive little guidance towards its cause.

Legacy software limits

Every change is risky because the software lacks structure or reliable documentation.

New production needs

The process requires more formats, production data, reporting or higher-level integration.

FAQ

Common questions

Does modernisation require replacing the entire control system?

Not always. We identify the components that limit reliability or future development. A staged migration is possible when interfaces between old and new sections are clearly defined.

Can the familiar operator workflow remain unchanged?

Yes, if it works well for production. Diagnostics and screen clarity can be improved while preserving the established process logic.

How should we prepare for an audit?

Collect current project files, electrical diagrams, known issue lists, planned process changes and information about available service windows.
