Reinstatement of the referral

"However, we have always acknowledged there is room for further improvement in the available technology and this investigation will be conducted in that light, so the system becomes even more reliable."

Could you please explain to me the emboldened parts?
I know reinstatement means "to give back the job again to someone" and "referral" means "to refer someone", but I can't understand them here.
