Legacy PCB reverse engineering and obsolete electronics re-manufacturing
Star Automations reverse engineers legacy and obsolete printed circuit boards and re-manufactures them in small batches, so your equipment keeps running when the original maker no longer supplies the part. We have delivered re-manufactured boards to customers in the USA, Europe and the Middle East, from India.
The problem: the board is obsolete, the machine is not
A single failed board can stop a line or a plant when the original maker has discontinued it. Replacing the whole system is expensive. We rebuild the board instead.
Obsolete controller and drive boards
Boards for industrial controllers, drives, power supplies and automation equipment.
Legacy electronics for MRO
Boards for equipment you must keep running for years.
Hard-to-find components
We source obsolete and scarce parts through our sourcing network, including our entities in the USA and Bahrain.
What we deliver
Inspection and feasibility
Sample board assessed first. You get a clear yes or no.
Schematic and bill of materials recovery
Documented from the physical board.
Form-fit-function replacement board
A board that fits and works in place of the original.
Testing
Re-manufactured boards tested before dispatch.
Small-batch re-manufacture
Batches sized to your need, not a minimum order of thousands.
Documentation
Schematic, BOM and test records for your files.
How it works
- Send photos and, if you can, a sample board or a working unit.
- We sign an NDA if you wish and review feasibility.
- We recover the design, source parts and build a prototype.
- You test it, then we build the batch and ship worldwide.
We work only on boards that you own or are authorised to repair or replace.
Frequently asked questions
What is PCB reverse engineering?
It means recovering the design of an existing printed circuit board, including schematic and bill of materials, from the physical board, so the board can be repaired, replaced or re-manufactured.
Can you re-manufacture an obsolete board?
Yes. We recover the design, source components and build tested replacement boards in small batches. We have delivered such boards to customers in the USA, Europe and the Middle East.
What do I need to send?
Photos of both sides of the board, the equipment model and, ideally, a sample board and a working unit.
Is this legal?
We work only on boards that you own or are authorised to repair or replace, under an NDA if you wish. We are not a legal advisor, so check your own contracts.
Can you use modern replacement components?
Where a part is obsolete, we use a form-fit-function equivalent where possible and tell you what we changed.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We ship worldwide from India and handle export documentation.
