Our retrofit methodology

When performing a system upgrade we ensure that your production downtime is reduced to the bare minimum, and that you don’t suffer any production losses. We follow a fixed methodology for every retrofit project. This means we can perform the upgrade quickly and with little disturbance.

The cornerstones of our retrofit methodology include the following points:

• a clear conversion plan beforehand
• an analysis of all activities, possible consequences and risks, with risk-limiting procedures and fall-back scenarios
• strict execution planning
• simultaneous use of old and new controls during the conversion
• return to the old control within four hours in the event of any unforeseen circumstances
• all functions tested off-line beforehand
• switchovers performed during weekends and holiday periods to the maximum extent possible to avoid loss of production
