Active Obsolescence Management

{VOR_ANREDE} {ANREDE} {NACHNAME},

today I want to talk about obsolescence issues. Probably all of you know about this. Parts & Components are no longer available or are discontinued.

Well, we sail the same ship.

The PTC-Group offers a certified obsolescence process. We can provide you either with an initial or recurring obsolescence assessment (based on the BOM) pointing out the pain points. We then recommend solutions like upgrade or overhauls kits to tackle these pain points – form/fit/function of course.

Sound interesting to you? Let me know, and we can talk about in detail!

ACU1 - new purchases

A couple of days ago we presented to you the upgrade of our control unit ACU1. This upgrade replaces the main onboard DC/DC converters against new ones (smaller and more reliable).

Today we must mention that this control unit is generally discontinued. But we are still in the position of getting new ones. With the new DC/DC converters, of course. However, quantities are limited, available numbers are low.

Sound interesting to you? Let me know, and we can talk about in detail!
