From swapping out simple components like worn linear bearings or upgrading entire control systems, MWES has the expertise to analyze your existing automation system and provide cost-effective retrofits that can lead to increased production output and uptime. As a multi-vendor integrator with experience in many production processes and industries, we can steer you away from ineffectual and costly upgrades, while focusing on making improvements that produce real results in several ways.

Mechanical System Rejuvenation

Sometimes losses in efficiency can happen gradually over a long period. The busy, day-to-day operations of keeping operations running can make it difficult for staff to notice these losses. Degrading parts can easily cause the system to run less efficiently or develop widening tolerances over time. MWES is highly skilled at locating and replacing worn-out components in automation systems, whether we’ve built them or another vendor. These replacements can claw back a lot of lost efficiency a system has collected over time.

Robot & Drive System Retrofits

Swapping out older servo and robotic systems with the latest technology can give you more control and greater reliability without replacing entire automation systems. Newer drive and control technology also can position the line to move into Industry 4.0 management in the future.

Control System Upgrades

Modern automation systems are so much more capable than the ones from just a decade ago. Much of that new functionality comes from the modern control systems that we have today. Let MWES upgrade your automation systems to take advantage of these new capabilities that offer a much finer-grained understanding of the production process and allow for better operational efficiency.
