Technical classifications from practice
We don’t publish traditional company news on this page.
Instead, we share brief professional insights, technical tips and practical observations from industrial, retrofit and brownfield projects.
The content is created on an ad hoc basis – when it makes professional sense.
Current technical information
Used industrial plants: opportunities and risks
The market for used industrial plants is becoming increasingly important again. Cost pressure, long delivery times and volatile markets mean that existing plants are being inspected, relocated or modernized more frequently.
A structured technical assessment that goes beyond the mere visual inspection is crucial.
Retrofit instead of new build – but the right way
Retrofit projects are economically attractive, but involve risks if they are planned without reliable inventory data. Typical weak points arise at interfaces between the mechanical system, control system and existing substance.
Proper technical preparation significantly reduces downtime and rework.
3D laser scanning in existing systems
Complex systems can also be precisely recorded during operation. 3D laser scanning forms the basis for planning reliability, freedom from collisions and reproducible conversion concepts.
Typical questions from projects
“When is technical due diligence worthwhile?”
Particularly before investment, conversion or relocation decisions are made, a well-founded assessment creates transparency regarding risks, maintenance requirements and real costs.
“What risks arise from incomplete inventory documents?”
Missing or outdated documentation is one of the most common causes of delays, additional costs and unplanned downtime in retrofit projects.
“Is a CE assessment required for modifications?”
Functional changes to machines or systems can make a reassessment necessary. Early classification prevents subsequent project interruptions.
