Lifecycle refresh
Plan refresh intervals using usage and environment - not only age.
How we approach Lifecycle refresh
Lifecycle refresh connects UV exposure, folding cycles, and mold risk to retirement rules. We help teams instrument fleets and sample fabrics to update policies with evidence.
When suppliers change coatings or yarns, we assess equivalency and regression test scope.
Sustainment budgets forecast labor and downtime - especially for distributed fleets.
