System Refurbishment
One constant requirement across mature installations within all business sectors is that of System Obsolescence.
The threat to our customers' core business is no less real whether it is a critical control module or an enterprise wide system that becomes unsupportable and a critical risk of failure. In either extreme the business risk becomes unacceptable.
The causes are many - Ageing hardware, Unsupported Operating Systems, Loss of System Knowledge, Absence of Documentation and source code.
The effects are the same - at best, reduced flexibility and efficiency. At worst, significant down time. In either case the net result is loss of business output and revenue.
DAI's Obsolescence Management solutions are tailored to specific customer requirements, product based, but vendor independent.
DAI Obsolescense Management Solutions range from
- Complete Legacy System Replacement
- Legacy System Replatforming
- Modular Replacement
- Modular Re-inforcement
These different Obsolescence Management solutions share common goals - to restore and enhance system functionality and confidence, with minimum risk and down-time, via a quality assured solution with lifetime support.
These goals are typically achieved by some combination of parallel commissioning, simulation and offline testing, phased changeovers and fall-back contingency planning.
DAI have used these methods to overcome Obsolescense issues by replacement, replatforming or re-inforcement on Offshore Oil Platforms, Pharmaceutical Plants, Pipeline Control Centres, Distribution Networks and Nuclear Power Stations.
Different businesses, similar obsolescence issues, all resolved with DAI solutions.
