Retrofit for complex machine systems

Even machines that have been in operation for 30 years can still offer enormous value. At a time when the market is booming, it is sensible to make use of capacity reserves in a fleet. The key to this is the original retrofit from Plasser & Theurer, which can extend a machine’s service life by up to 15 years. The upgrades in this retrofit also make the machine suitable for more demanding requirements.

Your order books may be full, but your vehicle fleet may be showing its age. Older vehicles often come with higher maintenance costs and more frequent servicing intervals due to wear. This causes their annual output to fall. An original retrofit from Plasser & Theurer can help here.

Large machines from Plasser & Theurer are in service for 30 to 40 years, often even longer. In this period, control systems can become obsolete and it can become difficult to obtain spare parts on the market. A retrofit allows the control system to be updated to take advantage of new digital technology. This makes the entire system more efficient, increases availability, and significantly improves ergonomics for the machine crew. Furthermore, the new control systems are also required for the use of telemetric networking technologies enabled by Plasser DataMatic. This is an important step towards preventative, data-based maintenance.

Higher level of safety

Retrofits make the workstations on a machine more attractive in the long term. Alongside better ergonomics and more user-friendly control systems, modern LED lighting or camera systems take staff safety to a new level.

Plasser & Theurer’s workshops can even perform retrofits on larger machines. We work to ECM standards and have the comprehensive technical expertise that only a manufacturer can offer. The number of original retrofits performed has increased significantly in recent years, a sign that this service has struck a chord in the market.
