Every installation tells a story
Years of development, qualification, optimisation and production have made your equipment an essential part of your operations. Yet over time, obsolescence of control systems, scarcity of spare parts or the limitations of older technologies can hold back their potential.
At GPC, we believe that high-performing equipment should not be replaced simply because its automation is ageing.
Drawing on our expertise in biotechnological processes and industrial automation, we transform your existing installations into modern, scalable and durable equipment, capable of meeting the current and future demands of your production.
Preserve your industrial investment
Replacing equipment often represents significant cost, lengthy lead times and requalification constraints — revamping is an intelligent and sustainable alternative. By retaining the proven mechanical elements and modernising the entire control system, GPC extends the service life of your installations while delivering the performance, safety and flexibility of the latest technologies.
The result: modernised equipment that is more reliable, higher-performing and perfectly adapted to your evolving needs.
Comprehensive modernisation, built to last
Every revamping project is custom-designed according to the characteristics of your installation and your production objectives.
Our interventions can include:
- Complete replacement of the existing automation
- Integration of the GPC control software and its supervision environment
- Renewal of sensors and instruments that have become obsolete
- Recalibration of all measurement instruments
- Upgrading of safety functions
- Preventive or corrective mechanical maintenance of the installation
- Addition of new process functionalities or capabilities
We work on a wide variety of laboratory, pilot and industrial equipment:
- Fermenters
- Bioreactors
- Process vessels
- Tangential and frontal filters
- Distillation columns
- Evaporation columns
- Dryers
- CIP/NEP cleaning stations
- Specific treatment units
- Custom equipment regardless of the original manufacturer
Repairability at the heart of our philosophy
In a context where sustainability is becoming a major issue, repairability is now recognised as an essential criterion in the selection of industrial equipment. At GPC, this philosophy is built in from the design stage. We exclusively use standard industrial components from recognised manufacturers in Europe or the United States. All installed parts are available through traditional distribution networks, guaranteeing their long-term availability.
This approach ensures:
- Simplified maintenance
- Optimal availability of spare parts
- Reduced risk of obsolescence
- Sustainable control of operating costs
- Independence from proprietary technologies
Unlike architectures based on specific electronic boards that are difficult to replace, our solutions use modular industrial PLCs and standardised components.
Every element can be replaced individually, every function can be maintained and every system can be repaired.
Your installation remains operable, maintainable and sustainable for many years to come.
An architecture designed to evolve
Today’s needs are not tomorrow’s.
A new production strategy, an additional process, an innovative sensor or a regulatory requirement can quickly necessitate the evolution of equipment. That is why revamping projects carried out by GPC are designed as scalable platforms. The PLC and software architecture makes it easy to integrate new functionalities, whether during the initial renovation or several years after commissioning.
Addition of new instruments, control of new components, advanced data acquisition, complementary automation, recipe management, extended supervision or integration of new processes: your installation remains open to future developments.
You are investing in a solution that sustainably supports the growth of your business.
A new generation of process control
Beyond hardware modernisation, every revamping project provides access to the software environment developed by GPC.
Designed specifically to control all types of machines and installations in the same way, it offers an intuitive interface, advanced operational supervision, improved data traceability and simplified equipment operation. Operators benefit from a modern, unified tool for all equipment — powerful and ergonomic — while technical teams have access to a robust, scalable and easily maintainable platform.

Valorise your industrial assets
The best equipment is not always the one you replace — it is often the one you upgrade intelligently.
With GPC revamping, your installations rediscover their potential: higher-performing, more reliable, easier to maintain and ready to meet the challenges of the years ahead.
Turn obsolescence into opportunity.
