Scoping brief · Allen-Bradley rebuilds

Allen-Bradley PLC migrations, integrated end-to-end with mechanical.

Industrial control system retrofits — Allen-Bradley PLC migrations, with mechanical and controls integrated under one team. Restore productivity on aging assets without replacing the equipment your operation runs on.

When an Allen-Bradley platform hits end-of-life — spares on a six-week lead, support tickets going nowhere — the line keeps running on borrowed time until it doesn’t. Kraytek reverse-engineers the original controls and mechanical scope side by side, re-platforms onto a current vendor stack, and ships the rebuilt machine under one crew, one schedule, one PO.

Rails, drives, and HMIs replaced end-to-end — same mechanical footprint, same operator interface language, current vendor platforms underneath. Spares lead time replaced with vendor-current platforms; the same asset re-validated against 21 CFR Part 11 + OSHA post-retrofit.

Scope of a rebuild

Typical scope

What gets rebuilt

Complete replacement of obsolete PLCs, drives, HMI, and instrumentation on existing assets. Mature platforms stay in service another decade; spare parts and support stay available.

  • PLC / DCS migration
  • Drive & servo upgrades
  • HMI / SCADA redesign
  • Field instrumentation

Delivered

What Kraytek owns

One procurement chain, one installation crew, one commissioning sign-off. You get today’s spare-parts lead times and a documented asset your own team can service without us on the phone.

  • Mechanical teardown + reverse-engineering
  • Controls re-platform onto a current vendor stack
  • Re-assembly + commissioning under one crew
  • Documentation + spare-parts plan for the next decade
  • One procurement chain, one installation crew, one commissioning sign-off

Customer

What you bring

Walkdown access and what engineering reads to write the first scope. No asset images, no formal spec sheets — just the information a controls engineer needs to rank the problems.

  • On-site access during walkdown — mechanical condition, controls stack, I/O count, fault history, and the operator’s day-to-day pain
  • The asset name + line type (e.g. PLC upgrade, horizontal form-fill-seal, converting line)
  • A sentence or two on the symptom and what triggered the conversation
