Legacy Control System Upgrade Project
Assessment, hardware replacement, software migration, communication reconstruction, commissioning and maintenance support for aging equipment.
Background and pain points
An industrial site had a control system that had been running for many years. Aging hardware, unstable communication, scarce spare parts and difficult software maintenance increased downtime risk.
- Aging PLC, cabinet and drive components
- Communication instability and unclear documentation
- Maintenance depended on a few experienced personnel
Solution, execution and results
Meshox solution
Meshox assessed the existing system, designed a staged upgrade, replaced key hardware, migrated software and data, rebuilt communication and completed integrated commissioning.
Implementation process
- 01Existing system assessment and risk review
- 02Upgrade plan and staged cutover design
- 03Hardware replacement and software migration
- 04Commissioning, documentation and maintenance support
Results
- Improved equipment operating stability
- Improved maintainability and documentation
- Enabled centralized monitoring and alarm management
It shows the retrofit method Meshox uses across industries: protect production continuity, reduce maintenance risk and create a more transparent control system.
FAQ
Can a similar project be adapted to our site?
Yes. Meshox starts with site survey, equipment status review and operating goals, then prepares a retrofit or integration plan matched to the existing system.
Have a control system, retrofit or integration project?
Start with a project evaluation. An engineer will review your requirements and propose a fitting control solution.
