Upgrades and modernization
In some cases, the most economical and ecological course of action is to upgrade your existing system during its lifetime compared to purchasing a new one. Vaisala offers upgrades and modernization services to its products, systems, and software in order to extend the product lifecycle and maximize the return on investment, such as adding new features, updating software and firmware, or replacing legacy parts with newer generation components.
We have capabilities for on-site upgrades and modernizations of different scales, professionally handled case-by-case with convenient turnkey project delivery. Available upgrades depend on the product line in question, and some of the upgrades are conducted at Vaisala Service Centers.
Instrument modernization service is also available for selected Vaisala products. Even the best measurement instruments may come to an end-of-life phase for example due to broken components or outdated features requiring new investment. Simply return the used instrument to Vaisala, receive a modern replacement unit, and enjoy accurate measurements, the latest features, and secured lifecycle support.
