Industrial electronic repair refers to the branch of electronic repair that deals with various aspects of manufacturing equipment. Examples of the other aspects in this field include areas like the installation, sale, evaluation and monitoring of the electronic equipment. Industrial electronic repair is a part of the normal maintenance schedule of most industrial equipment. Otherwise, the services of the electronic equipment repairers will be engaged when there is a problem with any of the industrial equipment.

There is usually a demarcation between industrial electronic repair and the repair of household electronics due to the vast nature of the types of industrial equipment. Many producers, manufacturers and other types of businesses often have several complicated electronic machines that assist in the effective performance of many tasks necessary for running the business. Some of these electronic machines or equipment include electronic tool controls, circuit boards, timers, electronic temperature controls and even computers.

One of the components in industrial electronic repair is carrying out diagnostics in order to determine the state of the electronic equipment and also to find out what repairs may be necessary. The exact process for the industrial electronic repair depends on the company in question and its policies. Such companies can be found online, and they may outsource their services so that the electronic repairers are qualified, certified, independent contractors working under that particular company. Industrial electronic repair may mean the replacement of older electronic equipment with more modern and efficient models. This is often necessary due to the high rate of innovation and production of faster, more accurate or more efficient electronic equipment that might help the company increase productivity.

Depending on the nature of the problem, the industrial electronic repair might occur in the premises of the company or it might be necessary for the repairer to take the faulty equipment back to the workshop for further diagnosis and repair. The company might offer different incentives to their customers, such as free diagnosis, free evaluation, discounts and varying degrees of warranties on their services. Some companies might even offer to pick the faulty electronic item from the industrial facility at no charge or at a minimal charge, depending on the distance. Companies involved in industrial electronic repair might also have detailed online forms for customers to state the nature of the problem so that a representative of the company will get back to them.
