        • Retrofit 4.0

        • In the light of the megatrend Industry 4.0 the GLOBAL RETOOL GROUP jointly with a partner from the software industry developed the concept Retrofit 4.0, a complete package consisting of hardware, a software product and a retrofit service package which is aiming first of all at existing manufacturing plants.

          The GLOBAL RETOOL GROUP as a retrofit and automation specialist with the relevant PLC and data base programming skills and the hardware know how for the necessary sensor systems takes over the retrofitting of the required measuring and control equipment.

          The software tool allows collection of the data, processing them in a usable manner and visualizing them accordingly. Thus decision-makers are provided at the right moment with relevant information. Plan deviations are recognized at an early stage, optimization potentials are identified and evaluated easily and efficiently.

          In addition, the tool can be used for the precise planning of servicing and maintenance activities. The goal is to replace the traditional predictive maintenance by a „maintenance on demand“ where the machine itself gives an alarm as soon as it requires maintenance or inspection.

      • Mobility Concepts & Automatic Parking

            • Automatic Parking Systems

            • parQing® –
              The intelligent solution for maximum parking space

              The parQing puzzle parking system optimizes and efficiently increrases the desity of existing parking space. parQing relieves drivers of the search for a free parking space, makes the usually required special parking spaces redundant and guarantees more safety for people and cars in comparison with conventional car parks.

              Digital technologies permit communication between the car park and the driver and thus facilitate the identification of free parking spaces, the retrieval of the car at the desired moment and cashless payment.

              parQing is based on a patented system. The vehicles are parked on pallets which are arranged and moving on self-centering conveyor modules and are thus efficiently accommodated in the available parking space. The combination of cross, longitudinal and cross-longitudinal conveyor modules allows optimum movement patterns while using one free space in the
              system.

              An intelligent software determines the shortest possible path thus offering short waiting times for the retrieval of the
              cars. The most efficient puzzle parking system convinces with ease of operation and a high level of comfort for the end user.
