Keeping Legacy Test Systems Running
For decades, legacy Automated Test Equipment (ATE) systems have been the foundation of testing in industries such as aerospace, defence, and industrial automation. These systems, known for their reliability and precision, continue to be essential for organisations that depend on consistent, mission-critical testing. At ATE Solutions, we understand the importance of these systems and are dedicated to ensuring they remain operational, effective, and fully supported for as long as they are needed.
Unmatched Expertise in Legacy Test System Support
Maintaining legacy test systems requires specialised knowledge and access to the right resources. At ATE Solutions, we bring decades of experience in servicing and supporting a wide range of legacy ATE platforms, including the iconic Marconi systems. Our expertise allows us to help clients extend the lifespan of their existing test solutions, ensuring uninterrupted operations without unnecessary disruptions or costly replacements.
We offer a comprehensive range of services, including:
Refurbishment and Repair – We keep legacy test systems running smoothly by sourcing and replacing ageing components, upgrading hardware where necessary, and ensuring continued functionality.
Software and Hardware Upgrades – While legacy systems remain effective, they often benefit from targeted upgrades to improve efficiency, reduce test times, and integrate with modern workflows.
Custom Support Solutions – Every organisation has unique requirements, and we tailor our support services to meet the specific needs of each client, whether that means routine maintenance, troubleshooting, or full system overhauls.
