Obsolescence Studies
Your Obsolescence Expert
Obsolescence refers to operational technology that has reached the end of it’s support life. Having this equipment in an operating facility prevents or limit the ability to repair or maintain equipment on an ongoing basis. Furthermore, patches and updates required to ensure security enhancements are continually made often become unavailable.
Our Approach
Being vendor neutral, and through our integration partners, we can perform a deep dive evaluations across multiple platforms. These evaluations cover over 50 items and include:
- Life cycle
- Access to local support
- Cost
- Migration complexity
- Operator familiarity
As equipment gets older and more unreliable, the original equipment manufacturer may no longer produce the necessary parts or support the equipment, meaning replacement components are no longer available.
Our Solutions
Synertec is experienced in obsolescence studies across the water, power & gas and life sciences sectors.
In our obsolescence studies, we first conduct a thorough system audit to identify the age and status of the current equipment and its level of support.
Developing a progressive upgrade and replacement plan is done in consultation with stakeholders. It is a vital step in the process to keep the plant operational and to minimise downtime and expensive, urgent repairs.
