Upgrades and Lifecycle Support
Protect Your Investment With Upgrades and Lifecycle Support
As automated systems operate, components wear, technologies change, support sunsets, and new requirements emerge. At Cross Company, our Upgrade and Lifecycle Support services are designed to ensure that your automation systems continue to perform as expected, even in the face of change and wear. From repair and refurbishment to obsolescence and retrofit assistance, we partner with you to keep your systems on track and ready for what’s next.
Supporting Your Equipment At Every Stage
Even the most reliable automation equipment needs attention over time. Components eventually wear, software runs into problems, and technology standards evolve. When your equipment faces these challenges, Cross is here to help you get the most from your automation. Our Upgrades and Lifecycle Support services extend the life of your equipment, minimize downtime, and keep operations running smoothly. Without unnecessary replacement costs or production disruptions.
With decades of experience in automation, robotics, and control systems, we understand the full lifecycle of industrial equipment. Whether you need to refurbish a whole machine or replace an obsolete component, we’ll work with you to find the best path forward.
Our repair and refurbishment services are built on decades of automation experience and provide a practical way to restore, enhance or extend your systems without starting over
When parts are discontinued, software is unsupported, or machines no longer meet performance goals, you need a trusted partner like Cross who understands legacy automation

Benefits of Industrial Software Programming from Cross
There are many benefits to utilizing custom industrial software programming services from Cross Company Automation. From optimized control to data-driven insights to improved efficiency, our automation software can give your operation the competitive edge it needs to succeed.
Optimized Control
Industrial software programming allows for precise control over your automation systems. This allows operations to optimize performance, efficiency, and accuracy. Fine-tuning controls and logic sequences ensures that your automated systems operate at peak efficiency and deliver consistent results when you need them.
Data-Driven Insights
Automation and industrial software that’s programmed to your specifications is also able to provide actionable, data-driven insights. With real-time monitoring and data acquisition, valuable information can be extracted from collected data. This allows for increased production optimization and greater efficiency.
Improved Efficiency
Our software can help your operation automate repetitive tasks, streamline workflows, and minimize manual intervention. This results in increased efficiency, reduced production errors, greater productivity, and less unplanned downtime. Automation can also run 24/7, boosting output and reducing production cycle times.

Why Lifecycle Support Matters
Avoid unplanned downtime – Components that are out of production or unsupported are significantly more expensive than the original part. Retrofitting your systems to something more modern can increase performance while maximizing ROI
Extend equipment value – Refurbishment and retrofits cost a fraction of a full system replacement while still restoring performance
Meet production goals – Upgrades are able to align your automation with current standards, increasing throughput and making it easier to meet goals
Reduce risk – When you partner with Cross, you have someone who understands your equipment, controls, and machine history and is able to make suggestions to increase safety and improve performance
Refurbish, Retrofit, Replace?
We’ll Help You Choose the Right Path
How the Lifecycle Support Process Works
Assess → Plan → Execute → Optimize
Assess
We work as an extension of your team to evaluate your current system condition, configuration, performance gaps, and obsolescence risks. Then compare those factors to future goals
Plan
We then provide a targeted roadmap for your application. This determines repair vs replace analysis, upgrade path vs retrofit recommendation, as well as cost and schedule estimates
Execute
Then comes the action. Whether that’s repair or refurbish, retrofit or replace, we provide the new or upgraded equipment and commission with minimal downtime
Optimize
Performance testing, data collection, and ongoing recommendations that keep your system productive. We can also provide ongoing calibration services and repair
