Reverse Engineering Obsolete Gear for Retrofits and Upgrades Is Our Specialty
If a facility has been in operation with the same MCC, Switch Gear or Automation System for several years, chances are it is missing out on some of the advances in electrical technology. Fortunately, that does not mean the whole system needs to be replaced in order to bring the facility up to speed. In older and bigger cities like Chicago, retrofitting can be an appealing solution.
