Sustaining Electronics Availability Through Rework and Modification in Modern Obsolescence Management

Rising demands for the availability of electronic systems, global supply chain risks, and the increasing phase-out of components are presenting companies with growing challenges. At the same time, the European “Right to Repair” is placing greater focus on extending product lifecycles. Using practical examples from rework, modification, and refurbishment, Lukas Fink, Sales Manager at HANZA BMK electronic services GmbH, demonstrates how existing electronic assemblies and systems can be sustainably kept in operation, modernized, and adapted to new requirements. The examples show how companies can extend product lifecycles, reduce costs, conserve resources, and increase supply security.
