When a company invests in a piece of capital equipment they do so with an understanding that the equipment will have a life cycle measured in years (assuming the equipment was engineered and built well) this can sometimes lead to problems where the company finds that the original product or application for that equipment has changed, or they find that due to growth in the company they wish to expand on existing systems to add more flexibility or increased output. There is also the problem of Legacy issues should something fail. As control systems age, and PLC product families are discontinued and replaced, the issue of service or replacement can be a growing concern.
Picture this worst case situation, an automated system that you depend on suddenly fails and your service team comes to you with the news that there does not appear to be any direct replacement units on the market!
Gi3 can help you avoid this by bringing your existing control system up to date for a fraction of the cost involved in replacing the entire system. In some cases it might even be possible to stay with the same family of PLC's In cases where only the PLC needs to be changed Gi3 can work on converting and updating a copy of the existing program, while the original system remains in operation. Then when the time comes for the units to be swapped out the work can be scheduled around planned down time to reduce or eliminate lost production due to the equipment being out of service for commissioning.
