Support with the systems becomes harder to find and more costly. As technology evolves, communication networks become limited, causing additional costs to work with or around the limitations. Limitations of Outdated Production and Packaging SystemsĪnother issue with utilizing outdated PLC-5s is the limitations associated with the system. Obsolete systems cause manufacturers to be unable to reach their full production and packaging capacities, resulting in lower production and efficiency. Obsolete systems result in higher spare part costs, such as maintaining a larger inventory for process system materials. Use of Obsolete PLC-5sĬontinued use of obsolete systems, such as PLC-5s and other equipment, can be very costly to an organization. Not only are outdated systems cumbersome, they also can cause some disadvantages to the manufacturing, packaging, and inventory processes that can be mitigated by implementing an updated technology. Therefore, these manufacturers lack the range benefits of updated manufacturing technology. Very often, manufacturers are producing their products and materials on outdated systems that are even nearing the end of life. However, migrating system technologies can help mitigate future risks associated with the system.Īrc Advisory Group reported on the Global DCS Migration Market Outlook:
Some companies find it difficult to work migration into their budgets, while many manufacturers can only offer a limited amount of downtime to allow for the migration or upgrade. Migrating systems can be a challenge for any manufacturer.
