Retrofit Service Company for Industrial Machines & Plants

July 2026·8 min min read

When maintenance or procurement searches for a retrofit service company, the need is rarely cosmetic. It is uptime, OEE, and EOL: one drive, one PLC, one protocol — and the OEM often pushes a full machine replacement.

Solvetronix exists for that case: an industrial retrofit service company for machines and plants — reverse engineering, firmware, and a documented decision. Modernize. Not replace.

What a retrofit service company must deliver

Not just “swap the PLC”. Useful delivery looks like:

  1. Root cause, not symptom — nameplate, bus, fault picture, count of identical nodes
  2. Options — surplus / repair / targeted retrofit, with risk and horizon
  3. Engineering — drives, controls, protocol bridges, HMI where needed
  4. Documentation — for budget, management, and later CRA/CE context

We are not a parts shop and not a notified body. We are the technical retrofit partner for operators and OEMs.

Typical engagements

  • VFD / servo EOL (V1000, XtraDrive, SGDH, Indramat, FANUC…)
  • Legacy control / HMI blocking the line
  • Downtime: OEM says “new machine” — we test the retrofit path
  • Connected legacy devices → security/update readiness (interface to CRA)

Hardware overview: EOL / spare & modernization
Downtime decision: Retrofit instead of blanket replacement

Who it is for

Role Benefit
Maintenance / production Less gambling on the used market
OEM / machine builders Keep installed base without full swap
Management Defensible CAPEX alternative with ROI logic
