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
- The time required to locate and obtain spare parts or technical support for old automation systems can lead to extended periods of system downtime and the off hire of your vessel.
- System interaction
- Older automation systems can lack 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 data harvesting and reporting.
