Repair-first lifecycle for specialist workshop equipment
Extended life of specialist workstations through repair and upgrade instead of wholesale replacement.
Engineering workshop, CNC-adjacent PCs and measurement stations
The challenge
Vendor quotes for new industrial PCs were high; two measurement stations failed within the same month.
What we delivered
- Extended useful life of specialist equipment through repair, upgrade and preventative maintenance.
- Repaired storage and power subsystems on two industrial PCs.
- Upgraded RAM and SSD on remaining fleet to extend runway 18 months.
Business improvements
- Reduced cost of premature hardware replacement.
- Minimised production delays while replacement was evaluated.
- Clear asset records for next budget cycle.
