Manufacturing

When original components are no longer available, maintaining production or repair capability requires a reliable manufacturing path. Rather than treating obsolescence as a one-part one-time purchasing problem, this service gives you a manufacturing path that can support ongoing builds when the original component market has moved on. Controlling obsolescence at a manufacturing level allows control over all component parts — package, lid, adhesives, die — not just the finished product.

Force Technologies works with obsolete and end-of-life requirements to develop replacement semiconductors that:

• Meet or improve required form and functionality
• Satisfy defined reliability standards
• Support sustained, quality-assured supply

This is particularly relevant where programmes must remain operational over extended lifecycles, including defence platforms, aerospace systems, rail systems and industrial equipment, where many platforms are expected to perform beyond 20 years.

By treating obsolescence as a manufacturing challenge rather than a sourcing issue, this approach reduces reliance on uncertain supply chains and focuses on continuous support. It also allows engineering teams to remain focused on core priorities, rather than being diverted into redesign or workaround solutions.
