I am looking for a phrase or a word which can be used in the sentence:



It is rather old, but _____________________ technology.



The word or the phrase should address a technology, which is totally investigated, researched into detail, thoroughly optimised so there is nothing more to find out or improve.



Thanks

    Mature tech (as suggested michael's answer) applies when there are only some minor improvements still being researched. But it doesn't rule out the possibility of major leaps that nobody's thought of yet, enabled by new materials, new design techniques, or whatever. e.g. silicon semiconductor manufacturing is a mature tech, and we think we're getting close to limits on how far we can push it (feature size), but there are still new ideas coming along that improve things and plenty of development.

I don't know of a technology that cannot be improved, but we often use the term mature to describe technology that's deemed developed enough to be left alone:




A mature technology is a technology that has been in use for long enough that most of its initial faults and inherent problems have been removed or reduced by further development. In some contexts, it may also refer to technology that has not seen widespread use, but whose scientific background is well understood.
Wikipedia







mature

6. No longer subject to great expansion or development. Used of an industry, market, or product.

      Most common term I have seen repeatedly and would thus use is, well established.

        tried and tested




        adjective - recognized as reliable; found to be successful



        tried-and-tested in British (ˈtraɪdəndˈtɛstɪd), tried-and-trusted
        (ˈtraɪdəndˈtrʌstɪd) or US and Canadian tried-and-true (ˈtraɪdəndˈtruː)
        adjective recognized as reliable; found to be successful



        https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/tried-and-tested




        As noted the expression varies somewhat according to location. All of the above versions would be understandable to a British person.

          No because the OP stated that it is 'old technology'. State of the art only applies to the newest developments.

        • I would recommend changing the headline to tried and true, or maybe tried and trusted, while specifying which entry you checked within the quotation. Tried and tested just seems entirely redundant, and seems to skip over the "completely optimized" sentiment in favor of placing extra emphasis on the thorough research, so it doesn't seem like as good of a suggestion to place first as the others.

          All of these answers, mature, well established, proven are absolutely correct in my opinion, but have become euphemisms for "out dated". Whenever someone tries to sell me "mature" technology, I immediately think "barely usable in today's environment".



          I would then describe this as stable:




          Not likely to change or fail
          ; firmly established




          or fit for purpose:




          well equipped or well suited for its designated role or purpose

            I'd suggest perfected, to capture both the "fully optimized" and "fully reliable" qualities. (Which are not at all the same thing!)




            It is rather old, but perfected, technology.

            • Welcome to EL&U! This is on its way to being an excellent answer, but it's lacking one element: supporting evidence. An answer on this site is expected to be authoritative, detailed, and explain why it is correct - preferably by quoting a reference (e.g. a dictionary definition for perfected) hyperlinked to the source. You can edit your post to add this detail; for further guidance, see How to Answer. Make sure you also take the Tour :-)

            The phrase that comes to mind immediately for me is a well oiled machine.



            Macmillan dictionary notes that the adjective phrase describes something that "operates without problems;" Merriam-Webster uses the defining phrase "smoothly functioning."




            The word or the phrase should address a technology, which is totally investigated, researched into detail, thoroughly optimised so there is nothing more to find out or improve.




            "Well-oiled" indicates that everything is running optimally with no clear room for improvement and no implied efforts toward further investigation or research, instead of continuing with the great status quo. Also, with more and more machines going digital, use of this phrase would cause a mental association with older technology, but technology that is still functioning well.

              In a technical context, you want this definition of the word understood, which carries more weight than the way it is used colloquially:



              un·​der·​stood | ˌən-dər-ˈstu̇d



              adjective




              1. fully apprehended


              The reason is understood is meant to be complete. If it is 100%, totally investigated, researched into detail, thoroughly optimised so there is nothing more to find out or improve, in science it is referred to as understood. Examples include:




              These are all interesting mathematical properties that are relevant to the description of physical systems, but they cannot be used as a catch-all, by saying that eventually all (un-understood) physical systems will be understood in terms of non-linearity.




              Source



              And




              On the other hand, it has been found that many effects occuring in natural and man-made system of propagating waves can be best characterized and understood as parametric interactions of waves.




              Source



              In both the these examples, the understood concept is a fully studied one that can be safely used as a building block for more complicated models because there is nothing more to learn about it.

                • Hi kervich, I've edited your post to add formatting and a hyperlink to the dictionary definition. Your post was ok, but these extra elements are desirable in a good answer and will help attract upvotes. To further improve your post, you can edit it to add your own explanation of why you think this is the best solution (be assertive!) and include some example sentences. NB: If you use an example from Cambridge, be sure to add it within the "blockquote" formatting, so that the source is clear. :-)

                Streamlined may fit your needs.




                It is rather old, but streamlined technology.




                adjective - designed or organized to give maximum efficiency; compact.



                https://www.dictionary.com/browse/streamlined



                I somewhat prefer this since it doesn't speak to the "newness" of the technology but it does imply that it is optimized or researched/planned in detail.

                      I don't know of a technology that cannot be improved, but we often use the term mature to describe technology that's deemed developed enough to be left alone:




                      A mature technology is a technology that has been in use for long enough that most of its initial faults and inherent problems have been removed or reduced by further development. In some contexts, it may also refer to technology that has not seen widespread use, but whose scientific background is well understood.

Tried and tested just seems entirely redundant, and seems to skip over the "completely optimized" sentiment in favor of placing extra emphasis on the thorough research, so it doesn't seem like as good of a suggestion to place first as the others.

Whenever someone tries to sell me "mature" technology, I immediately think "barely usable in today's environment".

                                                            The phrase that comes to mind immediately for me is a well oiled machine.



                                                            Macmillan dictionary notes that the adjective phrase describes something that "operates without problems;" Merriam-Webster uses the defining phrase "smoothly functioning."

Your post was ok, but these extra elements are desirable in a good answer and will help attract upvotes. To further improve your post, you can edit it to add your own explanation of why you think this is the best solution (be assertive!) and include some example sentences. NB: If you use an example from Cambridge, be sure to add it within the "blockquote" formatting, so that the source is clear. :-)
