Machinery revamping is the method that aims to regenerate or modernize machined and equipment and update their functions. With the use of revamping old machines have the opportunity to become new working machines again. Through a significant type of modification with the use of technology in digitalization, scientists and engineers can bring old machines back to life. Machines that could be more than 20 or even 30 years old are now being reused once again.
Technology is evolving rapidly so machinery revamping is required for the industry in order to follow the procedures and meet the customers’ needs with more quality.
