Technological innovation allows advances in very different areas of activity, among which is also the industrial machinery. Renewing these instruments of work is a decision that affects both the economic balance of any company and its way of working. In this sense, there are different reasons to proceed with the replacement of this machinery:
Obsolescence
Derived from the above, there are times when the work tools are outdated. Thus, they may no longer be operative or ineffective in responding to market demand.
Costs
Consequently, costs rise. Therefore, that machine stops presenting the same profitability to perform the same work that would be done with a new one.
Lower confidence
Over the years, the confidence that an operator places in a machine tends to be lower. This is because both the demolition machinery and the spare parts of machinery suffer a wear associated with its use and; therefore, the more they are used, the less effective they are. It should be noted that trust is a key factor in the use of these elements with the greatest security by the technical staff.
Washing
Is a logical matter, since the more a machine is used, the more chances there are that it is broken, cracked or damaged, for example.
In this sense, experts recommend replacing machinery, always before these instruments become obsolete or fail to respond with the efficiency expected of them.
In short, although each type of industrial machinery requires a different manipulation and, therefore, it will also vary the time it must be renewed, take care of the advice now described is a roadmap to know the most appropriate time for the replacement.
The prolongation of the useful life.
Of course, it is possible to extend the useful life not only to the plant, as mentioned, but to obsolete systems, although this is possible for equipment obsolete by state. If not, it is possible, in general, it is not possible to prolong its useful life, and therefore its useful life will be corrected from 0 years and its book value will be its scrap value. But if the obsolescence is by state, it is possible to prolong its useful life by 50% by investing the following amounts:
- Rotating mechanical equipment, 30% of its replacement value, and that will only have to respond to the elements that suffer degradation.
- For static equipment that does not work, 70% of its replacement value
- Electrical equipment, barely 10% of the replacement value.
- For computers and media, barely anything, just the desire to continue using them
- Vehicles, 30% of its updated value.
