DesignCore Systems provides engineering support for legacy and end-of-life equipment where original manufacturer support is no longer available. We work with organisations that depend on equipment that cannot easily be replaced — helping extend operational life, recover documentation, and modernise systems incrementally.
Our legacy support services include reverse engineering of PCBs and mechanical assemblies to produce current documentation, obsolete and long-lead component sourcing, schematic recovery from physical hardware, firmware extraction and analysis, and system modernisation by replacing obsolete subsystems with modern equivalents while preserving the broader installation.
We work with manufacturing, utilities, defence, and research organisations where legacy equipment is deeply embedded in operational processes. Our goal is to provide a clear assessment of options — extend, modernise, or replace — with the engineering evidence to support your decision.
Scope & Limitations
Legacy equipment support is provided on a best-effort basis. DesignCore Systems does not guarantee the availability of obsolete components or the feasibility of reverse engineering all systems.
Original manufacturer warranties may be voided by third-party modification. Clients should verify warranty status before engaging repair or modification services.
Support for equipment containing hazardous materials (e.g., asbestos, certain chemicals) may require additional safety assessments and is subject to regulatory compliance.
