Gross Automation orchestrates modernization sprints so OEM plants can refresh legacy drives in waves. We stabilize existing assets, prefabricate replacement panels, and commission with analytics so your operators see measurable gains from day one.
We log parameters, load profiles, and power quality on your existing drives so replacements focus on the riskiest assets first.
UL-certified fabrication cells build drop-in Danfoss panels with PLC handshakes, wiring harnesses, and test records before shutdown windows open.
Gross Automation engineers handle onsite swaps, drive tuning, and analytics baselining so leadership immediately sees improvement metrics.
Share load profiles, safety requirements, and control preferences. We will prepare a Danfoss drive bill of material, panel concept, and commissioning plan tailored to your machine.
