With almost 40 years of experience helping companies build and automate everything from bread lines to bridges, we KNOW that trying to determine whether to repair or replace a legacy system can be a frustrating decision. Systems Interface is here to help make it as painless as possible.

Manufacturers are concerned about the risk aspects of legacy control systems. Not just the higher costs of a less reliable supply of replacement components but also the increasing scarcity of knowledgeable resources capable of maintaining the legacy assets. A more recent major risk is that legacy systems can pose a cybersecurity vulnerability.

The upside of mitigating the obsolescence risk is a resulting modern ethernet-connected control system platform that enables investment in process optimization and digital transformation. The modern platform enables the use of ethernet and IO-Link smart sensor technology for smart machine/process performance and reliability improvements. Modern control system platforms can also participate in a secure centrally-managed infrastructure.
