Do all existing installations need to be replaced during a retrofit?
No. During a retrofit, Fixsus first examines which existing components, cabling, control cabinets, and technical installations are still usable.
Retention of usable parts
Installations that function well technically and possess suitable communication or control options can often be retained.
This may apply to, among others:
- sensors;
- valves;
- motors;
- pumps;
- frequency drives;
- energy meters;
- cabling;
- parts of existing control cabinets.
Assessment per component
Which parts can be retained is determined based on their:
- technical condition;
- age;
- available documentation;
- communication or control options;
- operational reliability;
- expected remaining lifespan.
Targeted replacement
Only components that are technically obsolete, unreliable, or cannot be integrated are replaced. This allows the central control system to be renewed without automatically rebuilding the entire installation.
Lower investment and less disruption
By retaining usable infrastructure, material usage, demolition work, execution time, and investment costs can be limited.
