Retrofit & lifecycle support
Keep the ship. Replace the automation.
Spare parts disappear long before the hull is worn out. Evolution IAS is built to fit into existing structures – and it starts with a free survey on board.
What we replace
Tell us what’s on board today.
We deliver complete replacements for obsolete cargo control, level measurement, power management, integrated automation and small alarm systems – from a dozen signals to thousands.
Some of the systems we have replaced
How a retrofit runs
Five steps, one supplier.
Free survey on board
One of our technicians goes through the existing installation, so the proposal is based on what is actually on the vessel.
Proposal and engineering
A turnkey scope: engineering, hardware, software and mimics drawn for your vessel.
Installation
New I/O fits into existing structures, with galvanic isolation and earth-fault supervision on every I/O card.
Commissioning
MCS engineers commission the system on board, together with the yard and the electrical installer.
Lifecycle support
Remote Assistance, spare parts and system updates for as long as the vessel sails.

Lifecycle support
Commitment to serve – for the life of the vessel.
Our reference list counts several hundred systems, from Vista Automation in 2003 to Evolution IAS from 2011. We support all of them: spare parts, technical support and troubleshooting, system updates and retrofit.
With Remote Assistance installed on board, a service engineer in Drammen connects over satellite directly to the automation system. System checks and modifications are done without waiting for the vessel to reach port.
