Identifying which components on a board are approaching or already past end-of-life, and how urgent each one is.
Schematic, layout, and firmware updates around replacement parts, validated against the original product's behavior.
Reconstructing design intent and documentation for legacy boards that shipped with incomplete or missing records.
Legacy modernization projects are usually better served by a partner who can also manufacture the redesigned board, rather than a redesign-only consultant who hands you a new schematic and nothing else.
The engineer managing your obsolescence redesign is reachable directly - no account manager relaying questions between assessment and layout.
Replacement parts and layout changes are selected with manufacturing and test in mind, not just electrical equivalence on paper.
Every redesigned board is verified against a dedicated test fixture before it ships, confirming the replacement performs like the original.
Discontinued flash and non-volatile memory parts replaced or redesigned around, including firmware changes for different memory geometries or interfaces.
Discontinued MCUs and processors replaced with a modern equivalent, including firmware porting where instruction sets or peripherals differ.
Discontinued regulators, amplifiers, and power management ICs replaced with functionally equivalent parts, requalified against the original power and noise budget.
Mechanical and enclosure redesign when a discontinued connector, switch, or panel component forces a change to the physical product, not just the board inside it.
Legacy circuit redesign covers:
Rebuilding a circuit block around currently available parts when no direct substitute exists.
PCB layout changes to accommodate new component packages, pinouts, or thermal requirements.
Updating and re-testing firmware where the replacement part changes timing, registers, or communication protocols.
Replacement engineering work spans:
Cross-reference and electrical-equivalence analysis for discontinued parts
Drop-in and near-drop-in replacement qualification
Lifetime-buy and inventory-bridge strategy while a redesign is in progress
Pelican can scope a replacement or redesign fast enough to beat the clock.
A board or firmware image exists, but the original schematic, source code, or design intent was never handed over - Pelican reconstructs what's needed to redesign and manufacture it independently.
A product depends on one vendor for a proprietary part, module, or manufacturing process, and the client needs an alternative path that doesn't depend on that vendor staying in business - a common trigger for a vendor lock-in escape, IP repatriation engagement.
Our roots are in oil and gas, and that experience transfers. Pelican brings the same electronic design and manufacturing discipline to other regulated and demanding sectors.
Harsh-environment controllers, downhole sensor integration, and hazardous location (HazLoc) electronics for the Gulf Coast, Permian, and beyond.
Ruggedized embedded systems, secure telemetry, and reliable PCB assemblies built to withstand shock, vibration, and temperature extremes.
Precision instrumentation electronics, low-noise analog signal processing, and adherence to lifecycle management and traceability requirements.
Automated monitoring and control electronics for compliance, hygienic environments, and precise thermal management.
Custom motor drives, sensor interfaces, and IoT edge devices supporting legacy and modern industrial protocols such as Modbus and Ethernet/IP.
Have specific regulatory or environmental requirements? Send your spec sheet and an engineer will review it.
You reach the engineer working on your redesign, not a project coordinator relaying messages between you and the design team.
The team that redesigns the board also builds it, in-house, in Lafayette, LA - no separate contract manufacturer to requalify.
Component selection and documentation practices chosen to reduce how often this problem comes back.
Every redesigned board is checked against a dedicated test fixture before it leaves the shop.
Bill of materials reviewed for at-risk, discontinued, and hard-to-source components.
Schematic, layout, and firmware updated around replacement parts or re-engineered circuit blocks.
Redesigned boards built and tested against the original product's behavior before production release.
Low-to-medium-volume production runs in-house, sized to your remaining product lifecycle.
Same engineering team handles the next obsolescence issue when it comes up, rather than starting over with a new vendor.
Pelican Engineering is a registered professional engineering firm in the state of Louisiana, available for consultation in electronic product development and all aspects of electrical engineering design and manufacturing.
Launched as Palmer Engineering Firm, building our first electronics program on an embedded prototype for the oil and gas industry from a small shared facility.
Transitioned to an independent 18,000 sq ft facility in Lafayette, LA. Acquired full PCB assembly lines to support mass manufacturing.
Expanded operations into a new 85,000 sq ft building to meet growing production demands and further scale our turnkey capabilities.
