You walk a facility, put together a scope based on what's visible, and sign a contract. Then the project starts and the real condition of the equipment becomes clear. A conveyor frame that looked serviceable turns out to be cracked. Controls wiring that wasn't...
How to Scope a Brownfield Conveyor Retrofit Without Getting Burned
The assessment is only half the work on a brownfield conveyor retrofit. What you do with what you find determines whether the project is profitable. Most scope problems don't come from bad work — they come from integration points that weren't mapped, boundaries that...
What to Assess Before You Retrofit Brownfield Conveyor Controls
Of all the things that can blow up a brownfield conveyor retrofit, controls surprises are the most expensive. Mechanical wear is visible if you know where to look. Controls problems hide. A PLC platform that's been discontinued, a panel that's never been properly...
Integrating CDLR Into AMR Systems: What Changes at the Transfer Point
Most AMR transfer station guidance is written around belt conveyors and light-duty roller applications. CDLR operates differently, and those differences have real consequences for how you design the docking interface, the transfer sequence, and the controls logic. If...
