Repair or Replace? Make the Right Choice for Your Automation System

When automation equipment fails, a down line can get very expensive. We help companies make the determination whether repairing or replacing their industrial automation makes sense for them. From troubleshooting to sourcing hard-to-find parts, our team ensures your production line gets back up and running quickly.

When to Repair Industrial Automation Equipment

Repair is often the best choice when:

• The issue has been isolated to the specific unit
• You have a spare to keep your line running during the repair lead time
• Repair costs significantly less than replacement
• If the item is unique and discontinued, replacements may not be available
• When the lead time on replacement units exceed the lead time on the repair
• You need to keep legacy automation systems running and replacements are not available
  

When Replacement Is the Better Choice

Replacing your automation hardware may be ideal when:

• Repair costs exceed 50–60% of the replacement value
• The replacement unit is readily available
• You need immediate uptime
• Replacements are available, even for discontinued and obsolete items
• The unit can be re-programmed for your application
