Legacy Infrastructure with Modern Automation Needs
Legacy GE automation systems including GE Fanuc and other GE industrial systems remain in operation across countless industrial facilities today. At Relevant Industrial, we support these systems by offering replacement components, engineering expertise, and migration solutions to extend equipment life and maintain operational reliability.
From programmable logic controllers (PLCs) to I/O modules, operator interfaces, and legacy drives, we help facilities maintain and troubleshoot GE’s discontinued and end-of-life automation technologies. Our team offers sourcing assistance, system diagnostics, and upgrade planning to bridge the gap between legacy infrastructure and today’s modern automation requirements.
Key benefits of maintaining legacy GE automation equipment include protecting capital investments, minimizing downtime, and avoiding costly full-system replacements. With the right support, legacy power solutions can continue delivering reliable performance while you plan long-term modernization. Our experts help reduce disruption, support critical spares inventory, and develop scalable migration paths tailored to your facility’s needs.
Applications of Legacy GE Automation Equipment
Legacy GE industrial systems continue to operate across a wide range of industries, supporting everything from batch control to critical infrastructure automation. Maintaining these systems ensures continuity, reduces unexpected shutdowns, and provides time to strategically plan system upgrades.
Oil & Gas Operations
GE industrial automation solutions are used in upstream and midstream control applications. Many installations still rely on legacy GE I/O and communication protocols. Continued service and migration strategies help prevent critical failures.
Manufacturing Plants
GE Fanuc PLCs and HMIs remain core to many automated assembly lines and machinery. Continued support helps maintain uptime and consistent production. Upgrading selectively allows for phased modernization without halting operations.
Mining & Metals
Legacy GE automation platforms manage conveyor control, material tracking, and processing lines in rugged environments. Replacing these systems fully is often complex and costly. Interim support and hardware sourcing mitigate operational risks.
Pulp & Paper Mills
Legacy GE HMIs and PLCs are still used in material handling, dryer sections, and finishing lines. Support for these systems ensures smooth plant operations and avoids unplanned downtime. Modernization strategies are often tailored around production cycles.
Power Generation Facilities
Legacy GE controllers and I/O units are often embedded in turbine, boiler, and balance-of-plant control systems. These components are vital for maintaining synchronization and system stability. Our support ensures safe, reliable power production.
Transportation & Infrastructure
GE industrial systems have been deployed in tunnel ventilation, rail systems, and building management applications. These installations often require specialized replacement components. Our solutions help preserve reliability and regulatory compliance.
Water & Wastewater Plants
Legacy GE control systems regulate pumps, valves, and chemical dosing in treatment operations. These components often require specialized knowledge for troubleshooting. Supporting these assets ensures continued environmental compliance and efficiency.
Chemical & Petrochemical
GE Fanuc systems remain installed in older DCS and process automation platforms. These systems are used for reactor control, safety interlocks, and temperature regulation. Maintaining legacy control ensures product quality and plant safety.
