    Conversion & optimization

    Retrofitting existing Venjakob systems

    Modernize instead of replace

    Nothing is more constant than change: new products, changes in production techniques or natural wear and tear place demands on your systems, which sometimes appear older - even though they still have a lot of performance left in them. With a targeted retrofit, we modernize your machines, increase their productivity and extend their service life. Conversion, expansion, optimization and new technologies make your familiar system faster, more efficient and more economical, without you having to do without familiar controls and handling.

    Our team checks the current condition of your system, identifies possible retrofits and gives you the authority to decide on the scope and implementation. Retrofitting saves time compared to a new purchase, reduces downtime and at the same time ensures the prompt availability of spare parts.

    More about the applications

    Reasons for retrofitting

    As requirements increase, so does the pressure on existing systems. A retrofit shows whether your line still has the necessary potential and makes it efficient again for current and future tasks through targeted modernization.

    Adaptation to new products

    If new materials or product variants are introduced that are not compatible with the existing system, a retrofit enables the necessary technical expansion. This keeps production flexible and future-proof without having to purchase a completely new system.

    Increase in production output

    Higher cycle times or shorter throughput times can often be achieved through targeted modernization. Optimized components or new control functions increase the speed and efficiency of your existing lines.

    Changed production specifications

    Changes in quality, safety or process requirements can push existing systems to their limits. A retrofit ensures that your machine is technically up to date again and complies with current standards and specifications.

    Expansion of production capacity

    If demand increases, a modernized system can often provide additional capacity. Improved process stability, shorter downtimes or more efficient components significantly increase output.

    Economical alternative to a new purchase

    A retrofit is often significantly more cost-effective than a completely new system. At the same time, performance is noticeably increased - with familiar operation and largely unchanged controls. This means you benefit from state-of-the-art technology without having to reinvent your existing processes.

    Machine optimization for control and IT

    Retrofitting and system modernization do not only affect mechanical components. We also check and optimize the control, automation and IT of your system - with a focus on Industry 4.0 and IoT if required. With modern, intuitive HMI systems and targeted software updates, we increase the productivity of your machines and reduce downtimes. You benefit from holistic optimization - technically up to date, efficient and sustainable.

    A retrofit increases productivity, extends the service life of your system, reduces downtime and ensures the prompt availability of spare parts - with familiar operation and processes.

    If new products, modified production techniques, higher cycle times or changed production specifications are required, a retrofit is an economical alternative to replacing the entire system.

    Yes, retrofitting is generally much more economical than a new purchase, but delivers similar or even improved performance values without changing the usual processes.

    No. Operation remains largely unchanged, so your staff do not need long training periods. Only the performance and efficiency of your system are increased.
