There was a time where the role of EMS providers was fairly narrow and defined. In cooperation with their OEM partners, they took primary responsibility for the assembly and/or production of the OEM’s intellectual property (IP). Supply chains rarely went beyond two or three tiers, and sourcing electronic inventory from component manufacturers or authorized distributors…
Electronic components and semiconductors, along with drastically increased power and efficiency, are also becoming more sensitive. This can be a great concern for electronics manufacturers — especially as consumer demands increase and component manufacturers increase their prices. Not every facility is equipped to properly manage sensitive electronic component storage, and the consequences of not doing…
With a little help from a high tide brought by a “worm moon,” the container ship Ever Given was finally dislodged from the Suez Canal, bringing the total time it disrupted traffic to six days. While the source of the problem has been corrected, the effects of the backlog are going to reverberate across various…
