Migrate Legacy Control Systems in Manufacturing

Full-Service Control Systems Integrator for Process and Packaging.

Why You Need Legacy Control Systems Migration?

Technology is changing at a rapid rate, so is the world that our customers serve.

Over time, even the most advanced control system will become obsolete — modern capability requirements will expand, communication protocols will improve, vendors will discontinue replacement parts and support will become exceedingly harder to obtain. Every business will need control system integrators at some point. Allen Bradley PLC 5 to Controllogix is one of the more recent examples of this.

Without a life cycle analysis, how will you know when it’s the right time to upgrade from a legacy PLC or DCS system to a control system that can support future growth?

Developing a detailed plan and strong controls migration strategy can depend on finding a progressive, future-focused systems integration partner — a partner such as Quantum Solutions. Whether it’s replacing a single controller or changing systems throughout multiple lines and/or plants, QSI has the tools, experience, and proven track record to help you plan for a stable and successful future.
