Retrofit

Upgrading / modernization of old plants & machines - mechanics remains, control and/or sensor technology new.

Retrofit advantages:

Extending the service life of the machine
Reduced downtime
Legal compliance
Lower production costs through monitoring
Acquisition of process and machine data
Control from the control station, from a distance
Predictive maintenance possible

Retrofit kit

Your old machine will be equipped with a retrofit module from creative BITS
This allows access to all essential key figures (freely definable)
The machine can be integrated into a production process
Constant monitoring of production costs, operating performance, condition of the equipment, ...
Faster changeover times,
Quality control, logging, monitoring
Proactive maintenance intervals by predicting possible malfunctions
Reduction of unplanned downtimes
