Tech Drive<\/span><\/b> to help you modernizing your industrial equipment<\/strong> through electrical and automation retrofit<\/strong>. Our goal : extend service life<\/strong> of your machines, improve their performance<\/strong> and bring up to standard<\/strong> without completely replacing them. We can also work on your industrial electrical installations<\/strong>for workshops, test benches or production lines.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Retrofitting involves replacing obsolete components (PLCs, drives, sensors, etc.) while preserving the functional mechanics.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udd27 Examples of operations performed :<\/p>\n Replacement of TSX\/LOGO PLCs with modern solutions (Siemens, Wago, etc.)<\/p>\n Conversion of frequency inverters or servodrives<\/p>\n Electrical safety (emergency stop, door sensors, light curtains)<\/p>\n Complete overhaul of wiring diagrams<\/p>\n \u2705 Advantages: reduced costs, less machine downtime, optimized performance<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> We work on all types of industrial LV installations, both new and refurbished:<\/p>\n TGBT distribution \/ divisional cabinets<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Power networks and cable trays<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Creation of powered workstations<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Communication networks (Profinet, Industrial Ethernet, etc.)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \ud83d\udee0\ufe0f Services included :<\/strong><\/p>\n Electrical design and schematics<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Equipment supply<\/p>\n<\/li>\n On-site or workshop wiring<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Test and power-up<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> We integrate or modernize the automation and HMI<\/strong> of your machines or systems:<\/p>\n PLC programming (Siemens TIA Portal, Codesys, Schneider, etc.)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n HMI interfaces \/ operator consoles<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Add supervision (SCADA, remote monitoring, e-mail\/SMS alerts)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \ud83d\udda5\ufe0f Objective:<\/strong> centralized control, improved responsiveness, traceability of defects<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Each retrofit incorporates a upgrade electrical and functional safety devices<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Typical measurements :<\/strong><\/p>\n Double-chain emergency stop wiring<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Installation of safety relays, position sensors, light curtains<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Risk analysis and diagrams validated to EN ISO 13849-1<\/p>\n<\/li>\n CE marking at the end of construction<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> \ud83d\udccc Retrofit of a test bench for electric motors : \ud83d\udccc Electrical upgrading of an assembly line : \ud83d\udccc Renovation of a production machine (10 years old) : \u2705 Multi-brand knowledge (Siemens, Schneider, Omron...) Q: Is retrofitting possible on a very old machine (over 20 years old)?<\/strong><\/p>\n \ud83d\udc49 Yes, as long as the mechanics are sound, we can renovate the entire electrical and automation part.<\/p>\n Q: Is it possible to modernize a machine without shutting down the entire line?<\/strong><\/p>\n \ud83d\udc49 We plan work to minimize downtime and can work in stages.<\/p>\n Q: Do you supply the CE mark after intervention?<\/strong><\/p>\n \ud83d\udc49 Yes, a CE technical file is produced for all projects involving machine safety.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>What is a retrofit?<\/h2><\/div>
