ABI Electronics Event Invitation

 

 

February 2026

 

 

For many organisations, electronic obsolescence triggers equipment replacement, while legacy equipment is quietly decommissioned and left unmaintained to degrade. This may appear efficient on paper, but it often masks avoidable lifecycle costs, operational disruption, and escalating E-waste. Understanding modern electronic degradation analysis allows organisations to move beyond the black and white replace or repair decisions. Executives can evaluate whether failure is being driven by component ageing, environmental stress, or limitations in testing, factors frequently resolved by repairing at the system level.

 

Real-world repair programmes demonstrate that assets deemed unserviceable can be restored at a fraction of the replacement cost. A key example of this was the UK Ministry of Defence’s faulty submarine electronic units that the OEM deemed unrepairable, requiring replacement at £50 million (US$75 million). The programme director sent the faulty units to their repair capability centre, where both the OEM-designed ATE and submarine assemblies were repaired for just £14,000 (US$20,000) using the specialist board diagnostic and component test system BoardMaster made by ABI Electronics. Beyond financial savings, this approach preserves a programme's operational continuity and reduces exposure to supply chain pressures, supporting sustainability objectives that are increasingly under heavy scrutiny.

 

This shift requires both technical understanding and leadership alignment, so join us for a free webinar/in-person talk on “Extending Equipment Life Post Obsolescence Using Electronic Degradation Identification,” where we’ll be exploring the practicalities, case evidence, and decision models that enable it. Hosted by the IIOM (International Institute of Obsolescence Management) and presented by specialists Dr Matt Darkin (MoD) and Willian Santos (ABI Electronics), this hybrid session aims to help decision leaders see repair not as a fallback, but as a deliberate lifecycle strategy that will protect value, reduce risk, and support long-term operational sustainability. If lifecycle resilience and smarter asset management are on your agenda, then join us online or in Nottingham on the 10th March for a topic worth discussing!
