Sitting on excess electronic components? Discover the difference between Consignment and Outright Purchase and how to choose the solution that maximises your returns, optimises your warehouse, and supports a sustainable supply chain. The warehouse problem no one talks about Somewhere in your facility, space is being wasted. This waste is not by broken machinery or
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.
The Global Electronics Association has announced the formation of the Global Electronics Policy Council (GEPC), a new body uniting leading electronics companies from around the world to advance a coordinated policy agenda across every major region of the electronics supply chain. The GEPC builds on the Association’s longstanding electronics industry advocacy work over its nearly
Managing a supply chain is not for the faint-hearted. Geopolitical tensions, extreme weather, and piracy are continual challenges, and there are the unanticipated events like some bloke parking his container ship broadside in the Suez Canal. Carolyn Park is the Vice President, Supply Chain Optimisation at RS Group and recognises all these obstacles. She tells
This article from Rochester Electronics explores how strengthening semiconductor traceability and challenging outdated date code standards can improve supply chain resilience. It examines why the traditional two-year date code rule no longer reflects modern storage, materials, and manufacturing practices, and how a traceability-led approach reduces counterfeit risk, minimises waste, and supports long-term, sustainable component availability.
Procurement of components is a key consideration within the electronics manufacturing market and one that presents real challenges. The growing complexity of global supply chains, and disruption within them, means procurement professionals in this space are having to find ways of mitigating risk, to keep production moving. Some of the contributing factors to the challenges
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
The Georgia Ports Authority hosted their 57th annual Georgia International Trade Conference bringing together customers, business partners, and industry leaders to discuss the latest maritime and logistics developments. Governor Brian Kemp met with Georgia Ports customers and logistics partners during the conference. In his opening remarks, he said: “Innovation and port investments by the Georgia
Disruption in and around the Strait of Hormuz continues to evolve, with conditions shifting day by day. Periods of de-escalation have offered some relief, but recovery remains fragile and uncertainty persists. Insurance costs remain volatile, and security risks, including the potential presence of unexploded mines, continue to pose challenges even when transit resumes. For procurement
Global electronics production relies on a tightly synchronised network of semiconductor fabrication plants, where a single power outage can disrupt output in real time. The industry operates with minimal inventory buffers and depends heavily on a limited number of high-capacity fabs to sustain continuous supply. When one facility experiences downtime, the impact spreads rapidly, creating
