What are the advantages of KN Retrofit?
- Reduction of production costs by improving energy efficiency, productivity and product quality
- Restoring the availability of spare parts
- Preparation for the recording of process and machine data for Industry 4.0
- Resource-saving and economical alternative to a new machine
