Retrofit

Is your system no longer up to date and therefore can no longer be expanded?
Is it already difficult to obtain spare parts?
Then it’s time to modernize your system:
You too can benefit from our many years of experience in retrofitting.

We offer both complete and partial modernizations. This involves either a complete renewal of the electrical system or just a replacement of the PLC components. This ensures that your system is state of the art – without changing the mechanics.

Why retrofitting?

Hardware | WLAN network technology

Hardware
Support in selecting the right hardware
Distribution of terminals (DLOG, ADS-Tec)
Distribution of scanners (Zebra, Bluebird, DataLogic)
Distribution of sensors (Balluff, Pepperl+Fuchs, SICK)
WLAN network technology
Setting up WLAN networks
Integration of a system component into an existing LAN or WLAN network (e.g. crane or forklift)
Use of devices with a firewall to protect the system against unauthorized access from outside
iWLAN with leaky waveguide

Visualization

Status of the plant equipment
Current fault messages
Current positions of materials
Status of security technology
Trend of pressure, temperature, level etc.

You too can rely on complete solutions from ABF
