Our aim is to offer guidance on the ever-changing decision-making processes in the electronics sector and become the "go-to" guide for industry professionals looking to source top components.
JFrog, the creators of the JFrog Software Supply Chain Platform, unveiled its JFrog Platform plugin for Claude Code, in collaboration with Anthropic. Available immediately to all Claude Code users, the new plugin represents a significant milestone in bringing enterprise-grade software supply chain governance to one of the fastest-growing AI coding agent platforms in the world.
Products are becoming smarter, more connected, and more complex. But supply chains are stuck in silos, with isolated data, and in tools that aren’t up to today’s demands. At PCIM 2026, Inga Schwarz, OEM Growth Lead at Luminovo, delved into AI’s role for optimised collaboration in the electronics supply chain, and how LLMs need to
Something has shifted in electronic component distribution over the past few years, and it’s not simply that more transactions happen online. Buyer expectations themselves are changing. Engineers and procurement teams increasingly expect the speed, transparency, and accessibility of modern digital commerce alongside the expertise and reliability distributors have always provided. For distributors, this isn’t about
JAGGAER officially launched JAI – a new AI-powered assistant designed to make the daily work of buying goods and services faster, smarter, and less frustrating. Early results from customers have seen an expected 50% reduction in support tickets in year-one and time savings across more than 40 different workflows. And in some cases, adoption growing
In this article, Prashanth Mysore, Senior Direct for Strategic Business Development at DELMIA, explores digital transformation in the metals industry. Posing five questions that need to be answered in the metal supply chain, which is highly important as the metals market in 2026 looks nothing like it did five years ago. We’ve seen copper shortfalls
Mouser Electronics announced the first 2026 instalment of its Empowering Innovation Together (EIT) technology series, Engineering AI for Daily Life. This instalment explores how artificial intelligence is increasingly embedded in everyday products and services, from assisted search and messaging tools to healthcare wearables that monitor personal wellbeing. As AI capabilities expand across consumer and connected
HTEC’s latest State of AI in the Semiconductor Industry 2025-2026 report reveals a growing gap between AI ambition and execution in the semiconductor sector. Almost all surveyed semiconductor organisations are pursuing AI, but fewer than half have embedded it across multiple functions. Most deployments remain concentrated in specific use cases or pilot programmes rather than
A look at how smart automation and collaboration ensure that components reach engineers when and where they are needed. Engineers, procurement teams, and hobbyists demand rapid access to a vast range of components, from minuscule resistors to large power supplies, often across multiple projects simultaneously. In this inherently complex environment, distributors face the dual challenges
Like a kid outgrowing shoes, AI might be moving too fast to the point where other integrated parts cannot catch up. While AI tools are dramatically compressing hardware design cycles and introducing new products, sourcing workflows remain slow, manual and disconnected. This gap creates risk such as part shortages, redesigns, and delayed launches. Leveraging tools
A recent legal update by EU regulators – known as the Radio Equipment Directive Delegated Act, or RED DA for short – brought in stringent cybersecurity requirements for any electronic device which connects to the Internet using wireless technology – effective 1st August 2025!
