Cost-effective automation
At Century, we specialize in retrofitting your existing system with the most modern automation system in the business. Every distributor’s goal is to get the most product out the door within an allotted time. As hard as you work to maintain the equipment over time, it will inevitably start wearing down and will need to be replaced or updated. Or you could have outgrown your current system and need to get more throughput.Â
We have managed retrofits as small as a few thousand-dollar capital, to as large as a few million-dollar capital. Century provides a transparent working process and coordinates with your operations team to find a way to update your system with as little downtime as possible. Whatever your reason for wanting to retrofit, you can rest assured that Century will put forth our experience, of more than 40 years, in the industry to make sure your updated system flows as smoothly as possible and be able to reach max ability.Â
Retrofit and Modifications
Retrofits are a cost-effective solution to modernize a system without re-engineering an entire operation. Century is capable of offering system recommendations, as well as sourcing, engineering, installing, and validating a variety of automation systems. New equipment can be piecemeal into an operate for gradual modernization.
In some situations, the equipment itself can be modified to current standards. For a conveyor, this could mean updating obsolete control modules, sensors, motors, and other components.Â

Removal, Replacement, Reinstallation
Along with installing new equipment, Century has the ability to uninstall, disassemble, and re-use current equipment. This can provide significant savings and open up additional processing lines, and depending on the type of system – can be interfaced with modern units.
If equipment is being removed completely from a facility, we can disassemble and place in a staging area (for the owner to sell) or manage the disposal of the unit.
