Flagship specialization

Don't replace your line. Modernize it.

Obsolete VFDs, drives, PLCs or full electrical rooms — we retrofit at any level, multi-brand, with minimal downtime. For a fraction of the cost of a new line.

Four levels, one method

From a single component to a turnkey rebuild

01

Drive & VFD retrofit

Replace obsolete AC inverters & DC drives. Better efficiency, available spares, same mechanics — the fastest win.

02

PLC retrofit

Migrate end-of-life PLCs. New controller plus rewritten, documented PLC software — no more obsolescence risk.

HMI / SCADA retrofit

New supervision software — modern HMI & plant-wide SCADA, MES-ready data and clear operator guidance.

Total retrofit

New electrical cabinets + new PLC software + new HMI/SCADA. A reborn line, fully documented and NIS2-ready.

From the field

This is what obsolescence looks like.

A legacy DC drive on a 9-block drawing line (Alrashed) — the kind of ageing power stage we replace with modern, spare-parts-safe drives while keeping the mechanics intact. New control, same machine.

Why retrofit with Idea

The independent choice your OEM won't offer

A machine builder pushes you to buy new. We are multi-brand and vendor-agnostic — so we keep what works and replace only what's at risk.

Minimal downtime

Planned, staged migration with pre-tested cabinets and software.

Multi-brand

Siemens, Rockwell, Schneider, ABB and more — not OEM-locked.

OT security upgrade

Segmentation, hardening and NIS2 readiness, built into the retrofit.

A fraction of the cost

Extend asset life by years instead of buying a whole new line.

Send us your obsolete equipment list.

We'll assess obsolescence risk and propose the right retrofit level.
