Retrofits

Whether it’s a sloppy code base, programs written in foreign languages, or maybe just a brand of controller that your team isn’t familiar with, adding new functionality to an old machine can be a serious challenge. At Outlier, we specialize in digging into machines that have already been commissioned in order to add new features or optimize existing ones.

Common applications include:

  • Adding new modules/functionality to a machine

  • Clean and robust data handling for business analysis

 

Optimization

Persistent faults, un-optimized motion sequences, and poor collection of OEE data mean that you aren’t getting as much out of your machine as you could. At Outlier, our customers can expect us to offer up cross-domain advice informed from our broad industry experience. In addition to optimizing physical machine performance, we can help you optimize processes as well.

Common applications include:

  • Servo/motion/path optimization for improved cycle time

  • Improving workflows by integrating operator feedback
