Industrial revamping: modernize your installations without replacing everything
In a constantly evolving industrial environment, doing more with what already exists has become a necessity. Faced with equipment obsolescence, new regulatory requirements or digitalization ambitions, industrial revamping offers an agile, sustainable and economically relevant response. At Technord, we support manufacturers who wish to modernize their facilities while ensuring the continuity of their production.
What is industrial revamping ?
Industrial revamping involves modernizing existing equipment or production lines, without having to replace them entirely. In practical terms, this often involves replacing obsolete components, migrating to more efficient control systems (such as DCS or PLC), integrating new functions or optimizingenergy efficiency.
Unlike total reconstruction, revamping preserves the existing architecture, while bringing it up to date. This process is particularly well-suited to industries with stringent continuous production or safety constraints.
Why consider revamping your equipment ?

Anticipating obsolescence
Manufacturers regularly discontinue support for certain components, making replacement or repair increasingly complex, if not impossible. Revamping enables you to avoid production interruptions due to unanticipated failures.
Improving overall performance
Modernizing your facilities also means optimizing your cycle times, reducing energy consumption, improving product quality and monitoring your key indicators (OEE, consumption, alerts, etc.) in real time.
Easy maintenance
With up-to-date, well-documented systems, maintenance becomes simpler, faster and less costly.
Open up to Industry 4.0 technologies
Revamping is a springboard to digitalization. It prepares your infrastructure for SCADA, traceability, data analysis and energy optimization solutions.
Comply with standards and keep your teams safe
Some updates are designed to better meet regulatory requirements in terms of industrial safety or cybersecurity.
How Technord can help you with your industrial revamping project.
Every site, every line, every machine is unique. That’s why our approach is systematically customized, whatever your industry.

Technical audit and diagnosis
We start with a precise analysis of the existing situation: state of components, software architecture, available documentation, operational risks. This enables us to propose a clear, prioritized and budgeted revamping plan.
Engineering study and recommendations
Our teams then design a solution tailored to your objectives: performance, security, connectivity, scalability. We work with open technologies on the market, without dependence on a single manufacturer.
Migration of control systems
We handle the complete migration of PLCs, DCS or SCADA systems, while respecting your production constraints. Our engineers master the main platforms (Siemens, Rockwell, Schneider, ABB, etc.), and know how to orchestrate transitions without interrupting production. Implementation, testing and commissioning
Each intervention is planned with you, to minimize the operational impact. Our field teams take care of installation, cabling, programming, FAT/SAT testing and commissioning.
Training, documentation and support
We work with your teams to ensure full ownership of the solution implemented, and provide responsive support throughout the lifetime of your installations.
CASE STUDY
Revamping of a production workshop for a major healthcare player.
An international pharmaceutical group called on our Process Control & Automation team to modernize the main PLC in one of its workshops.
Our goal?
Reliable installation while maintaining compatibility with existing proprietary supervision systems.
Our services :
- Analysis of existing infrastructure and validation of compatibility with supervision system
- Complete renovation of sensor/actuator wiring
- Replacement of the main PLC with a Siemens ET200SP solution
- Convert STEP7 program to TIA Portal
- Integration of control loops previously managed by Eurotherm PLCs
Result:
a more homogeneous, durable and simplified architecture, facilitating maintenance and spare parts management, while enabling rapid takeover by the customer’s in-house teams.
Industrial revamping: a gateway to the connected factory.
Modernization is essential, but preparing for the future is optimal. Revamping is often the first step towards a deeper digital transformation. By upgrading your facilities, you give yourself the means to :
Make the most of your field data
Improving traceability
Monitor your energy consumption
Integrating industrial IOT
Gaining industrial agility
At Technord, our experts can implement revamping projects with a coherent, controlled and scalable Industrie 4.0 vision.
