A Concrete Response to Obsolescence Challenges
Obsolescence is now a critical challenge for many industrial players. With shorter technology life cycles and increasingly fragile supply chains, ensuring industrial and technological sovereignty has become essential.
It is within this context that OBSAM designed OSTRAL: a collaborative and strategic platform that centralizes information to:
- secure your references,
- Improve the reliability of technical decisions
- Extend the lifespan of your equipment
- Reduce costs and increase efficiency
4 years of R&D and a mobilized ecosystem
OSTRAL was not created by chance. This project is the result of four years of research and development, driven by fully committed teams and supported by trusted partners.
This collaboration illustrates OBSAM’s ability to bring together an ecosystem of stakeholders around a shared ambition: transforming obsolescence from a constraint into an opportunity for industrial resilience and performance.
