We buy inventory so you don't have to.
When it comes to storing electronic components, it’s not a matter of if an OEM needs to find a solution for it, but when — and at what cost. Virtually all companies at some point are forced to accumulate large quantities of inventory necessary to complete the life cycle of their product. This can be…
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…
One doesn’t have to try hard to recall the earthquake and tsunami disaster that befell the coast of Tohoku on March 11th, 2011. In addition to the 15,894 confirmed people who lost their lives, 120,000 buildings were destroyed, 278,000 were half-destroyed, 726,000 suffered partial damage, and the total economic damage could be valued as high…
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…
The latest industry trend taking the world (and Wall Street) by storm is cryptocurrency, or more specifically the blockchain technology used to drive it. Gartner defines a blockchain technology as ”a shared, distributed, decentralized and tokenized ledger that removes business friction by being independent of individual applications or participants.” The idea that critical, sensitive data…
