Why take action now?

Electronic safety devices have a limited lifespan, typically 10 to 20 years, as defined by IEC61508-2 and ISO13849-1. Beyond this period, functionality is no longer guaranteed, increasing the risk of system failures, production stoppages, and compliance issues.

When should you act?

We recommend performing a functional safety assessment of your systems after seven years of operation and upgrading obsolete components before the 10th year to ensure compliance and reliability.

Take control of your system’s future

Don't wait for a critical failure—be proactive and plan for the future. Contact Dürr today to discuss how we can help modernize your control systems and ensure the longevity and safety of your operation.

Key risks of obsolete components

Extended downtime – Aging programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human-machine interfaces (HMIs), and variable frequency drives (VFDs) pose a significant risk of unexpected failures.

Lack of replacement parts – Finding spare parts for outdated control systems becomes increasingly difficult and expensive, potentially leading to extended downtimes.
