Procurement Security
Obsolescence Management
Supply chain disruptions in recent years and increased geopolitical uncertainties have elevated priorities for supply chain security in many sectors. Particularly in the realm of TFT displays, the risk of obsolescence is a critical factor, especially for certified products. For many years, we have therefore offered various solutions to safeguard against unexpected bottlenecks or discontinuations. Furthermore, should changes become necessary, we provide expert and prompt support.
We stockpile
One strategy to counteract supply bottlenecks or obsolescence is the warehousing of components and parts that may no longer be available or manufactured. Our German warehouse can maintain buffer stock for your needs. We maintain close contact with our suppliers. In the event of discontinuations, we inform you promptly, offering the opportunity for a last-time buy, enabling existing products to be manufactured from stock for several years. All components are, of course, professionally stored under controlled conditions.
Replacement and Lifetime Support Guarantee
Should a component or specific material become unavailable or cease production, a redesign may be necessary. This is particularly true for large volumes that would require warehousing and for products with extended lifecycles. In such cases, we assist you in developing an equivalent alternative. Guaranteed! This approach helps circumvent complete recertifications and minimizes your effort. Often, functionally identical alternatives are available, simplifying the transition. However, complete re-engineering and emulation solutions are also conceivable.
Proactive Obsolescence Management
Even during the design phase, we prioritize a low obsolescence probability for all materials used. Wherever possible, we integrate components with interchangeable alternatives from the outset. Our design approach is forward-looking, facilitating easy implementation of changes, and we advise on common components that are widely available and thus carry a lower risk of discontinuation.
