LEGACY EQUIPMENT & SYSTEM MODERNIZATION
UPGRADE WHAT WORKS. REPLACE WHAT DOESN’T.
Modern manufacturing isn’t always about the newest tech.
It’s about making what you already have work harder, smarter, and longer.
Our legacy equipment and system modernization services help you transform aging assets into high-performing, connected tools without redesigning your factory floor.
Whether it’s control system upgrades, legacy machine modernization, or targeted automation enhancements, we help you reduce risk, avoid unplanned downtime, and extend the life of your equipment.
Don’t know where to start? Our direct partnership with Augury helps you define your pain points and allows our team to work alongside yours to dig in and define the next steps.
Without the high cost of replacement.
READY TO MODERNIZE WHILE AVOIDING DISRUPTION?
LET’S TALK
Why We're Different
We don’t start with what you should replace; we start with what you can improve.
At Live Solutions, we specialize in bridging the gap between legacy infrastructure and modern performance. Our team works alongside yours to assess what’s worth saving, what’s holding you back, and how we can bring your operation up to speed without pushing unnecessary tech or starting from zero.
We’re not here to sell you gear. We recommend what’s right for your operations, whether it’s targeted upgrades or a full replacement, with no brand bias and no bloated proposals.
AUGURY SMART SENSORS AND ADVANCED DATA CAPTURE
DIAGNOSTICS FIRST, NO ASSUMPTIONS
We begin with a ground-level audit of your existing assets, controls, machines, workflows, and supporting systems. If you want to take it a step further, we can implement a layer of smart sensors and interfaces to help accelerate your decision making process and fast-track your implementation times.
We identify failure risks, tech gaps, and upgrade opportunities based on what matters most to your production and your customers.
CONNECTED WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE
Connecting smart sensors and interfaces isn’t always possible, but with our expertise, we can help you get there. Our team integrates legacy machines into modern platforms, MES, CMMS, or IoT, so you can finally get insights from equipment that’s been running for decades.
The Result?
Improved visibility, faster decision-making, and a smoother path to full digital transformation.
UPGRADE, DON’T OVERSPEND
Once we have the data analyzed and containerized, we can map out the best pathways for optimizing spend with our proven ROI tools. From legacy control systems to mechanical rebuilds, we retrofit and enhance what you already own.
That means better performance, smarter data collection, and fewer maintenance surprises, without costly replacements.
KEY DELIVERABLES YOU CAN EXPECT

Why work with us?
LISTEN FIRST, UPGRADE SECOND
We spend time on your floor, connecting your equipment, learning from your team, auditing your equipment and processes, calculating bottlenecks, and identifying both a short-term and long-term upgrade strategy. We focus on what truly needs improvement, not on replacing things just for the sake of it.
REAL VALUE, NOT UNNECESSARY TECH
If a rebuild and a software patch are all you need, that’s what we recommend. No overengineering. No unnecessary downtime.
EXPERIENCE WITH OLD AND NEW
We’ve worked on everything from 40-year-old presses to fully connected smart lines. That means we understand the challenges of integrating modern solutions into legacy environments.
WE BRING 75+ YEARS OF COMBINED EXPERIENCE
Our team brings proven expertise in control systems, rebuilds, and modernization. Lean Six Sigma-certified, we are dedicated to delivering measurable ROI while leveraging vetted OEM technology and trusted service partners. As CESMII Smart Manufacturing Certified professionals, we ensure transparent communication and real-time project tracking every step of the way.
MODERNIZATION THAT WORKS FOR YOUR BUSINESS
Don’t start over. Start smarter. We’ll help you extend the life of your equipment, connect your systems, and unlock new levels of performance, all with minimal disruption.
