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.
ByteSnap Design has announced the launch of Obsolescence Management as a Service (OMaaS), a monthly subscription service providing continuous component lifecycle monitoring and strategic BOM [Bill of Materials] health management for manufacturing companies. The service will be highlighted at next week’s EDS on stand H52. Unlike traditional reactive approaches to obsolescence, where manufacturers scramble to
Chip shortages, sudden export bans, and a stubborn rise in counterfeit parts have made ‘business as usual’ a dangerous fantasy for electronics buyers. Yet, as the Adesio whitepaper ‘Future of Procurement’ reminds us, most firms still steer multi-million euro spend through siloed ERPs, batch spreadsheets, and late-night firefighting. The emerging alternative is an APInative backbone
UK and European customers using supply chains that rely solely on overseas warehousing should be very wary of significant challenges, warns Anglia Components. Shipping parts around the world always increases carbon footprint. Anglia ships from its UK distribution centre in Wisbech, enabling fast delivery to customers across the UK and continental Europe. This localised distribution approach
With the UK edging closer to agreeing a free trade agreement with the Gulf Cooperation Council, international logistics specialist Aramex UK has urged British businesses which engage in Middle Eastern trade to begin evaluating their supply chains in preparation. This latest trade deal, which has taken nearly three years to come to fruition, closely follows
In response to early signs of a market pick up, Anglia Components is offering customers in the UK and EU the convenience of online purchasing as well as the cost-competitiveness required for volume production. Explains Karen Ward, Anglia’s Commercial Director: “We are seeing increased enquiry activity from all market segments. But it’s still a challenging
Samsung Electronics operates one of the most complex and far-reaching supply chains in the world. As one of the leading global manufacturers of semiconductors, consumer electronics, and display technologies, the tech giant manages a network that spans multiple continents and industries. Samsung’s supply chain stretches across more than 200 countries. It sources raw materials, manufactures
I have spent much of my career working with manufacturers in complex, mission-critical industries like defence, aerospace, and supply chain-driven industries. In these environments, supply chain resilience is not a buzzword; it is a strategic necessity. For years, global models that leaned heavily on low-cost production in Asia delivered short-term efficiencies but introduced long-term fragility.
The UK and India strengthen their collaboration on securing future technology supply chains with the launch of Phase 2 of the UK-India Critical Mineral Supply Chain Observatory. The initiative was formally announced during the UK-India trade deal signing ceremony, where Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer highlighted the role
Managing logistics operations is particularly challenging during disruption. Semiconductor shortages, geopolitical instability and pandemic-related bottlenecks have demonstrated how fragile the global electronics supply chain can be. It’s important now, more than ever, that resilience is central to logistics planning for electronics manufacturing. Logistics managers are on the front line when disruption occurs, whether that comes
Across the global supply chain, volatility is the new normal. Inflationary pressures, material shortages, and unpredictable tariff shifts have pushed many procurement leaders toward a ‘wait-and-see’ stance on capital investments. However, for supply chain and fleet operations, that hesitation is costly. A hidden ‘hesitation tax’ quietly eats into margins, compromises operational resilience, and weakens an
