Legacy systems lie at the heart of manufacturing. And when the critical software stops working, the entire operation feels the impact.
Yes, old hardware is unreliable. Research indicates that as much as 20% of lost productivity is a result of unplanned downtime alone. That’s specifically a legacy hardware problem most of the time.
Legacy hardware is deceiving. Although they may appear to be working for the time being, they are degrading with each passing year. Here’s what’s really happening:
New tools can’t be integrated well with old hardware. Industry 4.0, IoT, and cloud analytics are out of reach. Data stays stuck in silos. Automation becomes a challenge.
With maintenance becoming extremely challenging, hardware failure is only a matter of time. When things break, you lose valuable time and money.
Old systems require specialized skills and ongoing support. You spend more on fixes. Simple repairs can cause delays of hours or days.
You can’t scale or shift to digital workflows easily. The old platform pushes back against every change.
Don’t restrict yourself to popular options. After all, you don’t always need a huge, expensive rewrite.
Fortunately, there is a better way. Stromasy Charon can make all the difference. Here’s how:
Run legacy apps on new x86 hardware. Keep your applications running unmodified – either on cloud (of your choice) or on-premises servers.
No more unplanned downtime. Risky servers won’t cause outages. Your software runs (uninterrupted) on stable and modern tech.
Reduce maintenance costs fast. Forget looking for rare spare parts or hardware experts. Support gets simpler and cheaper.
Connect with new tools. Modern platforms allow your legacy software to work with current analytics and manufacturing tech.
Stay flexible. You are not just emulating, you are also buying time for yourself to decide whether you really need a full application migration.
If old hardware, downtime, or integration headaches are slowing you down, take preventive action today.
Stromasys solves this problem in simple steps without changing your trusted applications. Only the aging hardware will be eliminated from the setup. Everything else will run like before.
