How did a global heavy equipment OEM tackle electronic obsolescence business challenges?

 

They identified their current and future needs…

Caterpillar was dealing with an electronics obsolescence issue on one of its common controller platforms. Approaching the end of the controller’s memory chip lifecycle, a “drop and replace” flash emulation solution was needed. The drop-in is needed to preserve the data already gathered and allow the system and machine to continue functioning normally.

 

They deployed the expertise of 10G, a life-cycle sustainment company…

Facing the troubling reality of deploying a unique memory chip and redesigning the rest of the existing system, Caterpillar deployed the expertise of 10G, a life-cycle management company jointly owned by Morey. For the first steps, the group established a forecast of the product’s demand, figuring out usage rates and when the “drop-in” flash emulator would need to be implemented. Next, with inventory forecasting under control and a “final buy” date nailed down, 10G began the process of developing the long-term solution: A new flash emulator that could function exactly as the soon-to-be-obsolete chip. They combined the functionality of the obsolete component into a printed circuit board solution, programming the circuit to simulate the memory chip. The product was then expeditiously tested, validated, and green-lit for production.

 

They introduced a fully functional Flash emulator to production that supports the entire system…

By reverse-engineering the current product, 10 G was able to guide the customer through the entire life-cycle management process, saving Caterpillar time and money. The team was also able to predict its usage course, plan out a short-term last-time-buy solution, and redesign it longer-term. Caterpillar now has a fully functional, tested, production-ready, and deployable internal memory component.
