Why you need a retrofit
Delaying an upgrade reduces performance and leads to operational risks. That’s because over time, control system efficiency declines. Parts become unavailable and the system becomes obsolete.
It’s important to upgrade your control system every 10 – 15 years and HMI software and hardware every 3 – 5 years.
