Where the profession of conservation-restoration comes in

Actually, almost all old paintings need extra help to stay looking as good as new. This is where the profession of conservation-restoration comes in.

Hi,

Is it right to understand "comes in" in the above as "comes in handy" and "is useful?" Thanks in advance.
