ICS Life Extension
Ensuring operational integrity of your Industrial Control System (ICS) by replacing old, outdated assets with new updated assets
Ensuring the Operational Integrity and Security of your Industrial Control Systems is Critical
Any obsolescence issue in your Industrial Control Systems (ICS) threatens your ICS's operational integrity, as well as the security of your ICS, exposing it to unwanted incidents, attacks or security breaches.
To avoid those risks and ensure your ICS is future-proof, all your current obsolete ICS hardware or software assets must be identified and updated or replaced.
Similarly, you must prepare for future obsolescence by identifying any assets that will become obsolete in the future.
The ICS Life Extension service will help you identify and resolve any current or future obsolescence challenges.

Life Extension Schematic
Obsolescence issues can — and will, occur in all three main parts of your Industrial Control Systems (ICS) — in your HMI, in your control systems, and in your network.
To maintain and ensure operational integrity of your ICS, you must be prepared to handle any obsolescence issues regardless of where they occur.
The ICS Life Extension service helps you do just that.

Obsolete Assets Overview
Handling all your ICS Life Extension challenges requires a complete and detailed overview of all your obsolete assets - both hardware and software.
This overview also needs to identify currently obsolete assets along with assets that will be obsolete in the future — and when they will be obsolete.
For each asset, you need to know all the relevant details about their configuration and their running requirements.
The ICS Life Extension service gives you all that.

Custom-Built Replacement
Obsolete assets containing special hardware — like old communication cards, that can't run on modern computers will be replaced by updated assets running on OMLEX custom-built computers.
OMLEX custom-built computers are configured to match the exact configuration and running requirements of the obsolete assets they are replacing.
The OMLEX custom-built replacement computer is a battle-tested and proven solution that has helped a large number of clients worldwide keep their Industrial Control Systems (ICS) operational and secure for more than two decades.

Virtual Replacement
Obsolete assets that don't require proprietary hardware will be replaced by updated, virtual versions of the original assets running on DELL computers.
The updated, virtual asset versions are configured to match the exact configuration and running requirements of the obsolete assets they are replacing.
This provides an added benefit for you as a client as the replaced, updated assets comes with a 7-year next business-day, onsite warranty on the DELL hardware.

Processes and Procedures
Processes and procedures are the backbone of business continuity, especially in ICS environments, where maintaining operational stability is critical.
Clearly defined and well-documented processes ensure that teams can respond swiftly and effectively to restore operations should an incident occur.
That's why the ICS Life Extension service provides you with comprehensive processes and procedures for backup and recovery of your replacement assets.

No-Outage Installation
Handling your Industrial Control Systems (ICS) life extension challenges more often than not comes with a long, unwanted outage if provided by the OEM.
The ICS Life Extension service, however, enables you to get your ICS Life Extension challenges handled without any unwanted outage.

Low Cost - High Value
Handling your Industrial Control Systems (ICS) life extension challenges is sometimes not possible due to the lack of original replacements available.
At the same time, and more often than not, it comes with a huge cost if provided by the OEM.
The ICS Life Extension service, however, enables you to get your ICS Life Extension challenges handled at a fraction of the OEM cost.

Easy Commissioning
The ICS Life Extension service provides you with plug-and-play replacement devices ready to be put into service.
Each replacement device is delivered with detailed instructions enabling your engineers to easily install it on your ICS by simply plugging it in, turning the old asset off, and then turning the replacement device on.
