We buy inventory so you don't have to.
Die banking is a process through which raw die and wafer is stored by a manufacturer until it is required for ASIC assembly. Because of its ability to keep manufacturers from continuously re-entering the marketplace, die banking is a great way to help avoid price increases, extended lead times, and many kinds of supply chain…
Our Critical Inventory Storage Solutions here at Partstat take many forms. All inventory is different, as are the specifications of each individual client, and as a result, no two customized solutions will be exactly alike. Instead of offering a one-size-fits-all model, we have incorporated a variety of innovative features that allow us to craft a…
In addition to added IP protection and ASIC performance efficiency, one of the greatest strengths of die and wafer banking is long-term cost-effectiveness. At the current rate of innovation and exponentially increasing demand, some critical components are transitioning to obsolescence before they even hit the market. To counter, if the OEM chooses to operate in…
As the use of ASICs in product designs continues to grow – and die and wafer banking becomes more prominent in OEM obsolescence management strategies – it is important for OEMs to consider the new variables necessary to package, store, and handle such sensitive raw material successfully. Of these variables, arguably the most important is…
When making the decision to implement ASICs into their product designs, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) often look at the benefits ASICs can offer their supply chain. Tighter obsolescence management procedures, more secure IP protection, increases in processing speeds and efficiency, and significantly reduced assembly and packaging costs are just a few of the advantages ASICs…
As technology in the electronics industry continues to evolve and accelerate at an unprecedented rate, manufacturers are being forced to adapt their tried-and-true supply chain models to confront this new reality – or risk falling behind in the race to produce the cutting-edge products consumers expect. In their efforts to combat obsolescence, for example, many…
