Safeguard know-how and expertise

In the railway environment, long service life is standard. To protect the investment and keep lifecycle costs low, availability of components needs to be guaranteed over the entire lifetime of the system.

Hitachi Rail offers obsolescence monitoring services that support timely and strategic decisions, to mitigate risk and impact of software and component obsolescence.

Our obsolescence specialists continuously analyze and monitor

  • these components' availability on the market
  • existing and potential supply gaps and discontinued production
  • potential suppliers for their ability to supply.
  • technological trends in the component market and evaluate perspectives, such as which technologies are available from how many suppliers.

In the event that there is only limited availability for a component, Thales will inform the customer whether there is an end-of-life inventory or there are substitution parts.
