Drive systems
Engines and drives must operate safely and reliably. Our services extend the life of your equipment with the right retrofit solutions, allowing you to benefit from increased availability and full efficiency of your drive systems.
Retrofit and modernization
Even the best technology eventually starts to show its age. Plants require intelligent concepts and solutions to achieve their productivity and performance goals, while simultaneously protecting their investments. This is the purpose of Siemens' refurbishment and modernization services.
Retrofit services
Unplanned downtime, low energy efficiency, high maintenance costs – outdated machines and equipment cause problems that operators have to deal with. Should they buy new equipment or refurbish and upgrade their existing equipment to the latest technology?

Machine tools
Retrofitting machine tools is much more economical than investing in new equipment if the mechanical components of the machine tool are still in good condition, but the control and/or drive system is no longer state-of-the-art.

Manufacturing machines and automation systems
We recommend our retrofit solutions for older production machines if the mechanical part contains a high proportion of steel or if the automation system is outdated and prone to failure.
Benefits
