KRIKO has many years of experience in retrofitting, particularly in the field of drive technology. We replace old drive systems with modern, energy-efficient drive technology, such as frequency converters or energy-efficient electric motors. Among other things, this leads to a significant reduction in energy consumption and therefore also in operating costs.…

Replacing an operating system often brings discomfort, as it requires adjustments to numerous programs. PCS 7 Version 9 is associated with a new generation of operating systems that make further development of the libraries necessary. KRIKO provides support during migration and develops individual solutions.
