The single most common reason a relocated line fails to restart — or a good machine gets scrapped — is its control system: obsolete PLCs, undocumented code, unavailable spare parts.
Fabrimove‘s automation engineers migrate legacy controls (Siemens S5 → S7/TIA Portal and other platforms), rebuild I/O and safety circuits, upgrade HMI/SCADA and recommission the line — with the original process behavior preserved and finally documented.
What is included?
Control system audit and migration plan;
Code conversion and refactoring with functional documentation;
Panel rebuild or replacement (own workshop);
Safety system upgrade to EN ISO 13849;
Drives replacement;
HMI/SCADA modernization; simulation and staged commissioning;
Operator training;
Remote support subscription after handover.
Yes. We reverse-engineer the running behavior, document it, then migrate. The as-found state is recorded before any change.
That is the ideal moment: the line is down anyway, so migration adds engineering time but little extra downtime.
Siemens (S5/S7/TIA) as core competence; Allen-Bradley, Mitsubishi, Beckhoff and common drive/HMI brands via our engineering team — confirmed per project
