It can happen that, with old or really old machines, the documentation is partially not updated, or just there is not documentation, then, in these cases, we can provide the Reverse Engineering Activity, to carry out, from scratch, just the partial documentation, we need to carry out specific activities, or the whole documentation of the machine.
This activity usually can have the following main targets:
- Hardware (Electrical) Documentation Recovery: with this activity we are able to reconstruct the whole electrical documentation of the machine, that mainly includes: the whole wire diagram, the documentation of each component used, the documentation for each electrical cabinet and the Electrical Maintenance Manual.
- Software Documentation Recovery: with this activity we can get information from the software, to describe, in detail, what the machine do, and in which way she do this. For instance, we can give detailed information about, why an alarm is generated, or why some parts are rejected, and so on. With this activity we can also reconstruct, the whole software documentation, that is often essential, to migrate the software, from a platform, to another, or just to modify the software.
- Technical Specification Recovery: with this activity we are able to rewrite the whole technical specification of the machine, that usually also includes detailed information about, the accuracy of the in line controls, and the safety features used in the machine.
- Obsolete Components Documentation Recovery: this activity is usually carried out, starting from the technical documentation available, for the specific component (some time there is not documentation available), and then we go ahead with the physical analysis of the component, and where possible, executing specific functional tests.
