Old machines often breakdown unpredictably increasing your expenses through maintenance costs and lost production. In the present era various modern technologies are been emerging in the field of manufacturing which are proven to be disruptive. For the established industries and their machine tools sometimes it is difficult to cope up with current scenario. Hence retrofitting is an emerging term where improvisation of the old setups of machines can be done. Retrofitting refers to the addition of new technology or features to older systems. Machine Tool Technologies recondition worn machine tools that have taken a beating in the course of production. The main objective is to study low cost automation technique for old machine as well as to study different parameters of retrofitting of old machine. In retrofitting attempt is made to equip the machines with digital intelligent system in order to get the more accurate dimensions and precise shape of high end products. So it is required to convert this conventional lathe into semi- automatic lathe by retrofitting. The paper emphasis on how a lathe can be converted to upgraded version by retrofitting. Also it includes the flow chart of retrofitting. Key Words: Retrofitting, Reconditioning, CNC, Lathe Machines, Low Cost Automation

“…For instance, ref. [28][29][30] propose different approaches to make CNC machines and robotic arms ready for Industry 4.0, while Haskamp et al [31] present a migration process from an old system to an ICPS (Industrial Cyber-Physical System) for a flexible manufacturing system. Gualtieri et al [32] propose a qualitative and economic evaluation model for the transformation from the manual working area to the human-robot collaborative area.…”

Retrofitting a Process Plant in an Industry 4.0 Perspective for Improving Safety and Maintenance Performance

The transformation from traditional industry to Industry 4.0 can bring many benefits in various spheres, from efficiency to safety. However, this transition involves adopting technologically advanced machinery with a high level of digitization and communication. The costs and time to replace obsolete machines could be unsustainable for many companies while retrofitting the old machinery. To make them ready to the Industry 4.0 context, they may represent an alternative to the replacement. Even if there are many studies related to retrofitting applied to machinery, there are very few studies related to the literature process industry sector. In this work, we propose a case study of a two-phase mixing plant that needed to be enhanced in the safety and maintainability conditions with reasonable times and costs. In this regard, the Digital Twin techniques and Deep Learning algorithms will be tested to predict and detect future faults, not only already visible and existing malfunctions. This approach strength is that, with limited investments and reasonable times, it allows the transformation of an old plant into a smart plant capable of communicating quickly with operators to increase its safety and maintainability.

“…In addition, their work concentrates on the definition of requirements for this particular use case. Arjoni et al (2017) [10] propose retrofit techniques and focus on keeping the cost factor as low as possible. These developed techniques are demonstrated on three machines forming an academic plant.…”

Small and medium-sized companies increasingly turning their attention towards the fourth industrial revolution. In order to increase their own long-term competitiveness, there is a growing desire to make production smarter, more efficient, safer and more sustainable through new technologies. Often, however, existing plants cannot be easily replaced by modern equipment. The reasons for this can be high investment costs, excessive downtimes or the unavailability of an equivalent machine. An alternative solution to the purchase of new equipment is the modernisation or expansion of existing systems, also called retrofitting. Thus, this paper deals with the retrofit process of a machine tool, whereby the software architecture of the control unit is the primary concern of this work.
