[obsolescence review]Through our obsolescence reviews, we proactively identify those components and systems on your producing assets that are at risk of becoming obsolete due to discontinued manufacturing, technology evolution or changes in industry standards.

This allows you to plan your budget more effectively when deciding whether to upgrade and modernise existing equipment. By doing so, you can extend the life of your asset and mitigate the need for a complete replacement in the future. Additionally, our obsolescence reviews allow you to schedule required replacements at the most optimal time.[obsolescence review]
