Machine retrofit: the mechanics still work, the electronics don't have to stay old
When a machine is mechanically sound but its controls are obsolete, unavailable or unreliable, we redesign the electronics and control around it, and connect it to the rest of the plant.
When companies call us
If one of these sounds familiar, this is the service to start with.
- Spare parts are no longer availableA failed board can stop the machine for weeks.
- Unexplained stopsThe control fails intermittently and nobody can find the cause.
- No way to collect dataThe machine produces, but can't report what it is doing.
- A replacement costs far more than the problemBuying a new machine to fix a control issue doesn't add up.
What's included
Take all of it or only the part you need. The scope is agreed in writing before development starts.
Survey on the machine
We study the machine, its signals and the way it is operated.
New control electronics
Boards designed for the machine, with protections for its environment.
Control firmware
Logic rewritten and documented, so it can be maintained.
Connection to the plant
Data and alerts sent to your dashboard or system.
- Motor drivers
- Power stages
- Industrial sensors
- Modbus
- Telemetry
- One accountable lead
- you talk to the same person from diagnosis to delivery
- 45+ units online
- running continuously for more than six years, updated remotely
- Fixed scope first
- scope, timeline and price agreed in writing before development

Common questions
Is retrofit always worth it?
Not always. The survey tells us whether the mechanics justify new electronics, and we say so if they don't.
Do you repair the existing board?
No. We don't do repair or maintenance work; we redesign the control.
How do we start?
Send a short description by email or WhatsApp. We reply within one business day, sign an NDA if needed and schedule the technical conversation.
Do you work with companies outside Brazil?
Yes. Files, code and documentation are delivered digitally, and calls are scheduled across time zones.
