Retrofit and modernisation

Keep the proven machinery. Replace the obsolete controls.

A well-built dynamometer can remain mechanically valuable long after its controls, computers and instrumentation become difficult to support. Microface modernises established machines without discarding what still works.

Planned commissioning
01

1. Assess

Understand the machine, current controls, instrumentation, test procedures, condition and operational priorities before defining the scope.

  • Machine and site survey
  • Obsolescence review
  • Risk and requirements capture
02

2. Engineer

Design the replacement control, electrical, instrumentation and software architecture around the existing mechanical asset.

  • Interface design
  • Safety and interlock review
  • Migration planning
03

3. Integrate

Build, install and connect the new equipment while retaining compatible machinery and customer procedures.

  • Controls and panel build
  • Transducers and signal conditioning
  • Test-sequence migration
04

4. Commission and support

Validate operation, train users and establish the spares and support approach for the modernised system.

  • Functional testing
  • Operator handover
  • Lifecycle support
