INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS MAINTENANCE
Unplanned machine downtime rarely occurs without warning signs. Wear and tear, thermal stress, aging electronics, loose connectors, contaminated control cabinets, or discontinued components can gradually compromise system availability. This is precisely where preventive maintenance in retrofit comes into play.
retrofit GmbH supports industrial companies in Germany with preventive maintenance of industrial systems, servicing of older machinery, and technical assessment of industrial electronics. The goal is to reduce downtime, minimize production losses, and ensure the continued economic operation of existing systems.
Preventive maintenance can include various inspection and service activities depending on the system, components, and technical situation. retrofit GmbH combines maintenance, repair, replacement, servicing, and procurement of industrial electronics into a practical service for production facilities.
Visual inspection of industrial systems, control cabinets, and electronic components, as well as thorough cleaning of contaminated areas.
Thermal imaging inspection in control cabinets, inspection of power supplies, fans, relays, terminals, and testing of electronic wear components such as capacitors.
Targeted replacement of worn components, subsequent functional testing, and comprehensive maintenance documentation for your industrial systems.
In a traditional retrofit, the mechanical components of the machine often remain largely intact. At the same time, the entire electrical system is replaced with a new generation of electronics (new controllers, drive technology, HMIs, wiring, and programming). Such a complete retrofit requires substantial investment (often in the range of 60–80% of a new machine), but typically does not automatically increase the machine’s output without mechanical modifications.
retrofit GmbH approaches retrofit in a practical and economical manner. Not every existing system immediately requires a complete overhaul. Instead, the existing mechanical components are retained, and electrical or electronic wear components are specifically inspected, repaired, replaced, or procured. The focus is on the continued economic operation of the system without having to invest immediately in an expensive complete retrofit.
The exact process depends on the system, components, and technical objectives. Generally, our preventive maintenance follows clear, structured steps.
System Assessment
Documentation of relevant machinery, control cabinets, and industrial electronic components, including type designations, serial numbers, photographs, and fault history.
Visual Inspection & Evaluation
Critical components are inspected in detail for condition, wear, thermal anomalies, contamination, and aging.
Obsolescence Check
Analysis of spare parts availability: Which components have already been discontinued and where is there an acute spare parts risk?
Recommendation
Based on the results, we recommend specific measures such as repair, replacement, cleaning, spare parts procurement, or stockpiling.
Documentation
The results are documented to develop a long-term, plannable maintenance and spare parts strategy for your system.
Key information at a glance
Preventive maintenance in machine retrofit means inspecting, servicing, repairing, or selectively replacing critical components of older machinery at an early stage. The goal is to reduce unplanned downtime and ensure the continued operation of the system.
Particularly important are PLC controllers, frequency inverters, industrial PCs, HMI panels, control boards, power supplies, fans, relays, capacitors, connectors, terminals, cable connections, and electronic components.
It is particularly advisable for older machinery, existing systems, discontinued components, spare parts that are difficult to obtain, recurring malfunctions, or high production dependency on individual systems.
No. Preventive maintenance is not a complete system overhaul. However, it can help delay or specifically avoid an extensive complete retrofit or new acquisition, provided the system can continue to be operated economically from a technical standpoint.
Yes, retrofit GmbH supports the procurement, repair, and replacement of discontinued or difficult-to-obtain industrial electronics. Specific availability must be verified on a case-by-case basis.
