The Problem
When the OEM Says Obsolete, the Machine Still Has to Run
Industrial equipment often remains operational long after individual components are discontinued. A failed PLC, HMI, drive, controller, or board can stop an otherwise productive machine.
Obsolete Components
The manufacturer no longer produces or supports the required part.
Unacceptable Lead Times
Authorized channels may quote weeks or months when the plant needs a solution immediately.
Incomplete Information
The customer may only have a partial part number, damaged nameplate, old manual, or machine photo.
What We Do
More Than a Catalog Search
Global Part Sourcing
Search independent distributors, surplus inventories, repair providers, and specialty suppliers.
Obsolete Component Support
Locate discontinued and legacy industrial automation products.
Repair and Refurbishment Options
Identify qualified repair paths when replacement inventory is unavailable.
Successor and Replacement Research
Help organize documented successor and migration options for customer engineering review.
Emergency Sourcing
Prioritize machine-down and time-critical requests.
Surplus Inventory Recovery
Help industrial companies identify and monetize unused automation inventory.
Korastra does not independently certify technical compatibility. All replacement, successor, retrofit, and migration options must be reviewed and approved by the customer, equipment manufacturer, or qualified technical professional before installation.
