Question 1

Do i lose factory warranty or support?

Accepted Answer

Most warranties come with free service and parts for the duration of the warranty.  We are not authorized by any OEM, so our service is performed outside of the warranty period in lieu of expensive OEM maintenance contracts.

Question 2

What about factory software update?

Accepted Answer

Most robust production systems don’t require software updates. If you are currently running well, future software updates are not likely needed. Factory software updates can generally be purchased ala carte from the OEMs.  You will need to evaluate if the offered update actually adds value or efficiency to your equipment.
