Obsolescence, long term support, increased reliability, and our contribution to multiple industries.

Not all electronic products need to be replaced as often as white goods, computers, TVs, and mobile phones. There are systems that were designed to work successfully in harsh environments for several decades.With consistent and expert maintenance these products can be maintained for decades, with the same functionality.

Businesses in sectors such as aerospace, defence, nuclear energy, rail, telecoms, and many others manage their systems over an extended through life period.These industries are often government owned and therefore it is in the taxpayers’ interest to maintain the products economically and successfully for many years. Simply by working with the supply chain and planning technology insertion periods or system redesign, it is possible to overcome the possibility of losing access to integral building blocks for the system in question.

Overlooking legacy systems can also offer competitors, often dynamic smaller companies, an opportunity to spark relationships with your clients. It may well mean the difference between a renewal of contract and losing a long-standing customer. 

Obsolescence management is recognising and managing the risk within a design to ensure continued availability and performance. This service is an integral part of how SSD operates. 

Experience proves that many new contract awards are based on a contract for availability – where the original designer must achieve consistent performance and is not held waiting for user permissions or finance to go ahead. In recent years economic and pandemic problems have increased the demand for extending products in support period and offering support and confidence in existing products. 

Designing and manufacturing new products also requires energy usage and the inclusion of materials that are rare or only available from countries that may be reluctant to trade at any given time. Supply chain issues are prevalent and covering for this is now an essential part of industry. Coupled with consumer pressure for the right to repair these concerns over dwindling supply of precious metals and their mining, along with the damage to local communities, are all influences to consider repairing over replacing a system.

Often modern electronic components are not designed to last as long as earlier parts, so the cycle of replacement becomes shorter and shorter. 

SSDL can assist with maintenance of hardware hard disks and the memory which in turn protects the embedded proprietary software saving even more engineering effort. It is also important to recognise the increased reliability of solid-state systems – more than a ten times factor is predicted.

SSDL are proud of the many millions of pounds and hours saved by extending the life of reliable and often critical systems through the application of sustainability. Moreover, we are truly dedicated to adhering to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals through our products. 

SSD has been supporting legacy systems in applications since 2008 in the following sectors. We look forward to working with you on a sustainable future for your business. 

  • Airborne defence systems
  • Ground based simulators
  • Naval control systems
  • Local Telecom servers
  • Nuclear control systems
  • Semiconductor Processing plants
  • Recording studio equipment

SSD have recently been advised that their Cyber Essentials certification has been renewed.

This is increasingly a requirement during contractual negotiations
