Do you need to upgrade your automation system?
Vessel owners need to adopt new technology to protect their operations in the digital age. Older automation systems are reaching the end of their useful life, increasing the chances of component failure and downtime. Upgrading these systems is a wise choice to ensure smooth operations.
Why you should upgrade
- End-of-life
- Old components can fail. The parts that move in computers have a limited lifespan, and electronic circuits may break down over time. When hardware components fail, it can lead to system instability, malfunctions, or complete loss of functionality, causing downtime.
- Finding spares and support is hard
- Newer, more efficient components have made older hardware dated. It can be difficult to find spare parts, as well as technical support for outdated systems.
- System interaction
- An automation system installed over ten years ago lacks the features of modern systems. Technology changes quickly, and your system needs to keep up with new requirements and advancements.
- Limited flexibility
- Your existing system was designed to meet past needs. It may not be flexible enough to adapt to current demands or support new features like a Power Management System.
