Discontinued and discarded? Not necessarily! Extend the service life of portable data collection devices with the right partner

Nevertheless, the procurement of technical devices and the establishment of corresponding systems often involves a significant outlay. Many companies therefore try to put off replacing devices with newer models and more modern software for as long as possible, even if the technology used is discontinued by the manufacturer and therefore no longer produced and sold (“end-of-life”, or EOL for short) after a few years. When experts refer to “end-of-service/end-of-support” (EOS) products, it means that support or the provision of spare parts from the manufacturer can no longer be expected. Instead of switching to new device models and retraining all employees on new systems, choosing an experienced repair service provider is often a good alternative for many companies.
