Logistics Systems Retrofit and Upgrades
Renovation, Transformation & Expansion: Modernize Your Warehouse
Intralogistics and warehouse automation systems are designed for long-term operation. However, over time, technologies evolve, components become obsolete, and operational requirements increase.
Many automated warehouse installations remain structurally sound, but no longer meet today’s standards in terms of productivity, flexibility, safety, or maintainability. In this context, renovation and retrofit offer a relevant alternative to a complete rebuild of automated systems.
We support industrial companies and logistics operators in modernizing their existing installations, helping them achieve sustainable performance improvements while keeping investments and operational impacts under control.
A Comprehensive Approach to Modernizing Existing Systems
Our approach is based on optimizing existing logistics infrastructure by integrating solutions tailored to each site’s technical constraints and performance objectives. Renovation projects can notably:
- improve system performance and throughput
- enhance equipment reliability and availability
- secure operations and ensure regulatory compliance
- extend the lifecycle of systems
- reduce costs and disruptions associated with a full reconstruction project
Each project is defined based on an in-depth analysis of the existing installation and future development needs.
Obsolescence Management
Equipment obsolescence is one of the key challenges facing automated installations.
We address all system components, including:
- modernization of mechanical, electrical, computing components and control systems (PLCs)
- upgrades to control software (WCS, interfaces)
- replacement of critical mechanical components
- spare parts availability management
- integration of cybersecurity considerations
Optimization and securing
System modernization is also an opportunity to improve operating conditions.
Our teams work to make installations safer, more reliable, and more sustainable:
- Fire detection and protection
Stacker cranes, shuttles, electrical cabinets… - Securing automated installations access
High-bay storage systems, conveyors… - Control of equipment with the installation of on-board cameras
on stacker cranes, in order to reduce the risks of personnel falling - Renovation with low consumption or energy recovery equipment
Extensions and upgrades
Evolving logistics operations often require existing installations to be adapted.
We support our clients with:
- Intralogistics flows studies
- Projects engineering and design
Layout of equipment according to the required flows, costing and project planning - Simulation and emulation on dedicated platform
Providing a reliable and fast commissioning - Integration of new equipment and software
WCS, WMS, conveyors, AGV-AMR, new stacker crane lane, robotized order preparation
These projects make it possible to adapt installations to new requirements without overhauling the overall infrastructure.
