Reasons Why You Should Upgrade Your Legacy Machine Control System

Nov. 1, 2011

Here are 10 reasons for upgrading your legacy machine control system:

10. Increasing failures in the field are stretching your service department to its limits.
9. Fewer parts are available to support and maintain systems
8. The cost of upgrading is less than the cost of repair.
7. The old system can no longer perform its control task.
6. The old system cannot be expanded to perform new tasks.
5. The original vendor no longer supports the controller.
