Companies will invest major capital to upgrade to the latest smart phones, tablets, computers and web platforms. Yet, the production and automation systems are often ignored. These
systems are the LIFE’S BLOOD of your business! If these systems aren’t scheduled for necessary upgrades, then you
will have no need for the latest sales team technology.
What technology is your company investing in?
Equipment replacement is not always practical or feasible for many automation users. Alternatively, there are options available to help mitigate risk until it can be eliminated.
Reserved Repair ServicesReserved repair services are particularly popular among organizations that depend on older automation equipment for production. These services come with both on-site and remote support. They can prevent machine failure before it occurs, and support
when failures do occur.
Lifecycle Extension and Migration Services These services are an excellent option for maintaining production continuity,
especially when combined with an overall migration strategy.
