Controls Upgrades
New products have faster communications, better visualization for machine operation, increased production capacity, increased safety, and quicker change-over. Upgrades also eliminate obsolete equipment. MartinCSI has performed hundreds of upgrade projects on every major platform.
Why Upgrade?
Obsolete Equipment
Unscheduled Downtime
Costly Repairs
Lack of Support
Unrealized Effeciencies
As equipment is phased out of production, spare parts become increasingly difficult to find. Purchasing can be risky.
Both equipment failure and the lack of maintenance personnel familiar with older technologies increases downtime and unplanned outage.
Limited remaining stock, sourcing through online resellers, and the scarcity of technicians familiar with legacy systems all contribute to increased costs.
Vendors and manufacturers discontinue support of end-of-life products.
Legacy systems are unable to take advantage of advances in real-time data collection and mobile performance monitoring
