Retrofit existing legacy system
The challenge
Many companies encounter the challenge of cost constraints that make a full replacement of legacy control systems unfeasible, while still requiring enhanced automation to ensure compliance. Additionally, numerous clients struggle with disparate devices that use varying communication standards, which limits seamless integration with lab information management systems (LIMS) or advanced process control systems.
Solution
We retrofit existing legacy systems effortlessly using QB Modules with QB Control as the powerful central hub. QB System delivers seamless power and data connectivity, bridging old and new technologies through industry-standard protocols like Modbus TCP and OPC-UA, unlocking modern automation without costly replacements. QB Modules allowed retrofit, using QB Edge as a control unit to deliver precise sensing, control, and fluid handling. QB Control software platform enablee centralized management with features such as.
