The obsolete reality inside your plant
After 10–20 years of operation, large portions of PLCs · VFDs · HMIs · servos · sensors · I/O modules have been discontinued by the OEM. But your line still has to run 24/7.
⛔ You can’t stop the line
Every hour of downtime costs USD 2,000–20,000 in lost revenue. “Stop & wait” is not an option.
📦 No replacement available
Old vendors can’t quote. OEM lead times stretch to 16–24 weeks. Counterfeits flood the market.
📉 Reliability decay
MTBF on 10+ year-old equipment degrades exponentially. Each repair triggers the next failure.
🔬 Old parts suffer from
Capacitor oxidation · depleted PLC RAM batteries · firmware loss · cracked driver boards · brittle plastic.
4 challenges your team faces every day
Daily headaches for Maintenance Managers · Plant Directors · Procurement Leads — and LEAN-TES has a solution for each.
⚠ Downtime pressure
Lost production = lost contracts · missed year-end bonuses · damaged trust with end customers.
💰 Limited CapEx budget
Can’t do a single full swap. Needs a 3–5-year migration roadmap aligned with planned shutdowns.
💻 Legacy software
Step5 · RSLogix 500 · GX Developer · Concept · Modsoft — must be converted to TIA Portal · Studio 5000 · GX Works 3.
👨🔧 In-house skill loss
Engineers who understand the legacy system are retiring. No knowledge successor for old drives, old PLCs.
