Case study: Upgrade of the power circuit and motor for an industrial bridge crane

To improve the performance and durability of a bridge crane, we completed a retrofit and modernization project for an industrial customer by upgrading and replacing the power circuit and motor.

Key stages of the project

  1. Total replacement of the power circuit components:
    • Piping
    • Revolving joints
    • Runways on the ceiling and the bridge crane
  2. Addition of maintenance devices:
    • Anchor points on the ceiling
    • Jib crane for maintenance work on the bridge crane
  3. Upgrade of the motor:
    • Replacement of the geared motor and drive roller
    • Specific supports for the entire motor system
  4. Installation of safety systems for maintenance operations.

Innovation-led project

To ensure the work was completed to precise standards and to minimize production downtime, we used 3D scanning, a digital twin, and 3D retro-modeling of the components, to ensure the equipment installed was perfectly adapted and optimized.

Flawless execution

This project was implemented in compliance with current safety standards and without any production downtime for the customer, demonstrating our commitment to providing effective solutions tailored to your industrial needs.
