Retrofit with Berghof Automation

As good as new, but much cheaper: The smart upgrade for the secure future of your machine, plant or inspection system

Prevention is better than cure: Make your aging machine, plant or inspection system fit for the future again now – before an expensive plant breakdown forces you to do so.

The ravages of time naturally also gnaw away at industrial automation solutions. This is because development is proceeding at a rapid pace in this area in particular. Important functional enhancements or urgently needed spare parts are therefore not or no longer available even for many still fully functional systems.

It is risky if you ignore this issue in the long run: You are then threatened not only with competitive disadvantages because your production costs and maintenance costs can no longer keep up with the best competitors. In extreme cases, this can even lead to – partial or complete – production downtimes, the financial damage of which can possibly threaten the very existence of your company.

Our joint path to success

The 5 phases of Berghof Retrofit

Existentially threatening production losses?

Retrofitting your system does not have to be complicated. Modernizing individual components, e.g. the control system, is often enough to bring your machine, plant or inspection system up to date. Existing technology such as control cabinets and cabling is usually retained, which saves time and money.

Our experts will guide you through the entire process - from analysis to commissioning. Retrofitting during ongoing operation is also often possible. Minimal downtime, maximum efficiency - that's what Berghof stands for.

It is often even possible to retrofit the system during operation. If not, we guarantee minimal downtimes for your machine, plant or inspection system and take care of cost-optimized implementation. Ensuring compatibility with existing systems and mixed operation with old and new technology is a priority that we at Berghof attach great importance to.

In order to guarantee the retrofitting of additional functions and to be able to react optimally to any situation, we also keep your old control system(s) available as a backup.

Your most important advantages at a glance:

  • Increase production volume and product quality through key functional enhancements
  • Ensure the supply of spare parts, today and in the future
  • Minimize downtime and service uncertainties
  • Predictive maintenance: Precise advance planning of maintenance based on process and machine data
  • Retrofitting of automation technology possible at any time
  • Significantly cheaper than the total replacement of the plant
  • Compliance with legal requirements
  • Fast availability
