Replacing obsolete I/O can be a challenge when space is limited, documentation is poor or non-existent, wires are poorly identified and tight plant production schedules require work to be done on the fly. 

 

SMART Migration involves selecting the best available hardware and assembling the right team to plan, schedule and execute the project. For example housing new I/O in Air conditioned Nema 4x cabinets on the plant floor, instead of in traditional I/O rooms eliminates many of the challenges usually encountered on migration projects.
