Lifecycle Extension & Migrations from Rockwell Automation

As your automation systems near the end of their lifecycle, the chance of unplanned downtime increases. The skill is recognising what components are obsolete, what components are superseded, how long you have before they are no longer able to be replaced or repaired and how best to support them while you plan your migration strategy.

You could simply replace aged equipment, but timing and budgetary constraints can interfere with those plans. Identifying and maintaining at risk equipment until finance or production schedules allow is a cost-effective alternative.

Rockwell Automation's Lifecycle Extension provides:

• Reserved Repair Access – Ensuring availability of component parts to provide
on-going assurance of product repair services (including discontinued products)

• Remote Support for Discontinued Product – Unlimited web support and technical assistance for legacy products

• On-site services for Discontinued Product – Scheduled preventative maintenance services and migration/conversion planning support

Conducting a thorough, plant-wide assessment of your automation equipment provides actionable intelligence to drive data-driven decisions like whether to mitigate or eliminate your risk.

A Rockwell Automation Installed Base Evaluation (IBE) features:


• Identification of plant-wide automation lifecycle status (Current, Silver or Obsolete)
• Identification of top migration priorities by plant, line, machine and cabinet
• MRO assessment and spare optimisation recommendations
• Panel condition reporting
