JC-Electronics – Phase-out Due to PLM Policy
Save with Refurbished and Repair
More and more manufacturers are implementing a strict Product Life Cycle Management (PLM) policy. This means that products—from PLCs to industrial drives and HMIs—are officially phased out after a number of years. For production companies, this has a major impact: parts become scarce, prices rise, and suppliers push for complete system migrations.
The challenge: downtime and high investments
When a component disappears from the PLM program, replacement with a new one is often presented as the only option. But migrating to a new platform requires major investments, software and cabling adjustments, and unavoidable production downtime.
The smart route: refurbished and repair
JC-Electronics offers a sustainable and cost-saving alternative. By using refurbished modules or professional repairs, you can keep your existing installation operational without expensive upgrades.
- Refurbished parts: thoroughly tested, overhauled and ready for direct one-to-one replacement.
- Repair: defective modules are repaired and preventively overhauled to ensure years of reliable performance.
The benefits at a glance:
- Up to 70% cost savings compared to new
- No reprogramming or system modifications required
- Less downtime: fast delivery and repair shorten production stops
- Sustainable: extending the product life cycle reduces electronic waste and CO₂ emissions.
Continuity without compromise
With JC-Electronics’ refurbished and repair solutions, your production remains reliable—even as the manufacturer moves forward with its PLM timeline. You maintain control over your process, spread investments, and prevent the phase-out of a single component from shutting down your entire line.
In short: don’t let PLM policy determine your planning. Choose the reliability, cost control, and sustainability of JC-Electronics.

Rittal - New F-gas RegulationRead moreThe new European F-gas Regulation (EU) 2024/573 has been in force since 11 March 2024 and will be phased in gradually from 1 January 2025. The regulation is an important pillar of the European climate strategy and has one clear goal: to drastically reduce emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases and ultimately phase them out completely by 2050. This has far-reaching consequences for the choice, use and future availability of refrigerants in industrial refrigeration and air conditioning systems.

Plukon - Scanning for the futureRead moreThe Plukon poultry slaughterhouse in Blokker has installations from all kinds of machine builders and suppliers. Each of these has its own control system and associated components from different brands. This situation has developed over time, with the result that Plukon lost track of the overall picture. When it became clear that many components were now obsolete, the company decided to have itsme carry out a FactoryScan. ‘This gives us more peace of mind and helps us to better plan the replacement of components for the future.’
