Why choose renovation over buying new?
It can be hard to see why you should choose to renovate equipment rather than simply buy new — but that choice comes with several strong advantages.
By renovating an existing piece of equipment you are first and foremost assured that:
The equipment fits the machine perfectly
All settings and any special parameters remain intact when the unit returns. You save time, because you do not have to adapt and configure a new unit for the machine.
Legacy equipment can be preserved
If the equipment has been discontinued, replacing a single unit can mean that several units have to be changed — technology evolves, and unfortunately it is not always backward compatible. That can be both time-consuming and expensive.
Longer machine lifetime
A renovation replaces the most wear-prone parts inside the unit, significantly extending its lifetime. The lifetime of the entire machine is extended, and you avoid unnecessary electronic waste — where most of the components are not faulty at all.
Increased uptime
Machines and plants are often maintained mechanically, but by also maintaining the electronics continuously as needed, uptime increases substantially and you get better protection against breakdowns.
Better for the bottom line — and the environment
On top of that, a renovation is usually cheaper than buying new. So you save not only time and hassle, but also money — and the environment — by reusing existing electronics.
