Reverse Engineering
When a board, device or program is obsolete or undocumented, we recover the design and rebuild, repair or replace it.
What We Do
Production stops when a part nobody makes any more fails. Our engineers analyse the hardware and software down to component level, capture how it works and produce what you need to keep running.
That might be a component-level repair, a documented schematic, recovered firmware or a drop-in replacement board built to the original footprint.
See Inside the Board
Move the lens across the board. Under every trace, chip and connector is a design we can recover, document and rebuild.
Board tracing, component identification and full schematics recovered from physical hardware.
Fault finding and repair of controller, drive and instrument boards at component level.
Disassembly and decompilation of firmware and executables to recover logic and protocols.
Capture and documentation of undocumented serial, fieldbus and network protocols.
Redesigned boards using current components, built to fit the original mounting and connectors.
Spares strategies and second sources so one failure never stops the line again.
Hover or drag across the board to look inside.
What You Get
We only work on equipment you own or are authorised to maintain, and every finding is documented so you are never dependent on us.

Recovered Firmware and Program Logic
Drop-In Replacement Hardware
Bench Tested Before It Returns to Site
How It Works
Inspect
We assess the failed or obsolete unit and agree what you need back.
Analyse
Hardware is traced and firmware recovered until the design is understood.
Rebuild
We repair, redesign or rebuild the unit with current components.
Verify
Units are bench tested against the original before they go back into service.
