Obsolescence Management
Short product life cycles of electronic components such as TFT displays or controllers are at odds with long-term product support and spare parts supply, which in extreme cases may extend over several decades. With more than 30 years of experience in the TFT market, high storage capacity, and expertise in mechanical and electronic development, we are your partner in solving the resulting challenges.
After identifying critical TFT components, we support you in placing last-time-buy orders, maintaining stock for immediate needs, and finding identical or largely compatible products. If necessary, we carry out mechanical and electronic development to achieve 100% compatibility. Software or firmware may also be affected by these adjustments.
Whether it is a comprehensive replacement strategy or maintaining spare parts availability with short delivery times, our branches in Europe and the USA develop a tailored concept, provide local support, and offer professional logistics services.
All introduced products are monitored for Product Change Notifications (PCN) or End-of-Life notices from manufacturers. This enables us to place final orders in time and initiate all necessary steps to prevent bottlenecks in spare parts supply.

Component Obsolescence Group Deutschland e.V
By striving for sustainability, we develop durable products with high long-term availability. This is why we are a member of the Component Obsolescence Group Deutschland e.V (COGD), which tries to minimize or prevent the effects of the unavailability of components in products. Obsolescence management can be interpreted as part of life cycle management. In recent decades, the product life cycles of high-tech components and complete products have become increasingly divergent. More modern components are often replaced after just 6 months by successors that are not always compatible. That is why we take care of equivalent and compatible successors.
