The productivity and precision of your press system decreases over the years due to natural wear-and-tear. Our retrofits repair defects and wear-related damage to restore functionality, extend service life, and increase safety — ultimately restoring the original efficiency and performance of your press system. The result is less downtime and more cost-efficient, sustainable production.
Outdated technologies often cause unnecessary additional costs and inefficient production. Schuler Service’s modernization solutions can increase the performance of your press system and provide fewer breakdowns, lower energy consumption, and optimized processes. Our latest digital modernization solutions result in significant cost savings in the long term.
Schuler Service’s team of experts work with you to develop customized solutions that fit your production needs. You can expect a single source provider, for the entire life cycle of your press system, when working with Schuler — including consultation, implementation, commissions, production support, innovative digital technologies, and all-round service support.

The use of outdated Windows XP or Windows 7 computers jeopardizes press system availability for various reasons. Obsolete operating systems pose a security risk as they do not receive the latest updates and are more susceptible to cyber attacks. This puts company data and press system functionality at risk. Outdated hardware also poses a risk as spare parts are difficult to obtain, and replacement is often impossible without extended downtime. This can all lead to production stoppages and high financial losses. It is crucial to upgrade to the latest PC technology for guaranteed safety, efficiency, and press system availability.
Even older systems can gain significant performance and efficiency results by integrating digital tools from Schuler’s Digital Suite. Schuler’s Machine Applications, for example, enable precise monitoring and control of your production to optimize processes and reduce downtime. Schuler’s Energy Monitor, another example, enables efficient energy management to reduce operating costs and minimize CO2 footprint.
Replacing outdated components that are no longer available is critical to the investment of your future press systems. The integration of modern safety controller systems offers the latest technology, increases reliability and performance, ensures machine safety, and optimizes production processes. Upgraded safety controllers reduce the risk of unexpected failures and help maintain machine availability. Modernization can be handled in incremental steps—based on your needs and budget—and can be easily extended to a complete control system upgrade.
Make your press system fit for the future with a comprehensive control system upgrade. Modernization replaces outdated, no longer available, components and ensures your control system uses the latest state-of-the-art technology. Key benefits include a significant increase in press system availability, improvement in operability, and an increase in efficiency.
Outdated hydraulic systems are often the main cause of your press line’s high energy costs. Reduce energy consumption and increase the efficiency and performance of your press systems by retrofitting to state-of-the-art pump and/or motor technology. Less energy consumption also reduces your environmental impact. Switch to modern hydraulic technology and take an important step towards sustainable production.
Invest in the future of your press systems and remain confident that you will no longer need constant repairs or experience operational interruptions with general retrofits. Some examples include replacing the actuators and sensors, implementing a modern control system, and a thorough mechanical retrofit. These measures significantly increase the reliability and efficiency of your machine while reducing downtimes and associated costs.
Schuler Service is available when economic conditions change and press system relocation becomes necessary—be it a neighboring hall or out-of-country facility. Our worldwide experts will organize a smooth and efficient relocation and recommission process of your press systems.
Schuler Service also offers modernization and retrofits for non-Schuler brands. We can modernize any forming system you prefer to make your press shop future-ready—including control system and safety retrofits, welding repairs, and more!
