Upgrade & Modernization Services

As device requirements evolve, your burn-in infrastructure can too, and ensure your most updated needs are met for your devices. Micro Control offers targeted upgrades and structured legacy paths to keep your systems capable and current, or easily upgrade to a new system.

Service Overview

Burn-in systems are built to last, but the devices they test keep advancing. When your current system starts to fall short of what a new application demands, a full replacement isn’t always the answer. Micro Control works with customers to identify targeted upgrade opportunities, including automation, that address specific capability gaps without the cost and disruption of replacing a system. For customers using older systems, we also offer structured paths to transition to our current generation of systems.

Areas commonly covered include:

  • Structured legacy paths to current-generation systems
  • Common architecture supports smooth system-to-system transitions
  • Automation and accessories that integrate with burn-in systems

Key Features & Benefits

Extend the Life of Your Existing Investment

A targeted upgrade that closes a specific capability gap is almost always more cost-effective than a full system replacement. Less capital, less downtime, and your team already knows how to operate the system.

Structured Paths for Legacy Systems

For customers running older Micro Control systems, we offer clear upgrade pathways to our current generation. Our common architecture means these transitions are more straightforward than starting with an entirely new system.
