retool
Upgrade the machinery
Retool means to re-equip with new tools or machinery, especially in manufacturing: The factory retooled to produce electric vehicles.
More broadly, it means to reorganize or adapt for a new purpose: She retooled her résumé for tech jobs, The comedy retooled after its first season.
The word implies significant restructuring rather than minor adjustment.
