Legacy Systems
Reliable system upgrades
Are you aware of the current status of your PLC and SCADA systems? If your critical systems rely on outdated hardware and software, we can help. With our extensive expertise, we specialise in upgrading obsolete PLC/SCADA/HMI systems and control panels. We’ll assess your automation equipment, update you on its status and spare parts availability, and help you plan to maximise your investment, control costs, and minimise downtime.
At Silchester, we've handled everything from entire plants to individual machines. Check out our case studies on our website to see our work. We’re flexible, working around your schedule to ensure minimal downtime during upgrades.
We now offer an expense-only service to review your plant and equipment, assessing:
- Current obsolescence status: We will evaluate the age and condition of your existing PLC and SCADA systems, identifying any components that are no longer supported by the manufacturer or are at risk of failure. This includes a detailed analysis of hardware and software obsolescence.
- Availability of new spares from manufacturers: We will check the availability of new replacement parts directly from the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). This ensures that you have access to the latest components that are compatible with your existing systems.
- Availability of second-hand spares, including our stock: In cases where new parts are no longer available, we will explore the availability of second-hand or refurbished parts. This includes checking our own inventory of spare parts to provide cost-effective solutions for maintaining your systems.
- Support and software tools for outdated systems: We will assess the availability of technical support and software tools for your outdated systems. This includes identifying any third-party support options and software updates that can help extend the life of your current equipment.
