The Component Dynamics team recently attended the PCB East 2024 Conference and Exhibition in Boxboro, Massachusetts. This annual event, hosted by the Printed Circuit Engineering Association (PCEA), serves as a premier gathering for professionals in the printed circuit board (PCB) industry and provides a platform for engineers, buyers, supply chain experts, and executives to work toward solving market challenges.
Supply chain experts Timm Kutzer, Matt Whittaker, and Marc Schwanbeck met with representatives from over 65 companies with various roles in the industry for a one-day exhibition and four day educational presentation. Many spoke about issues with excess inventory and obsolescence management in particular. In the PCB industry, these common pain points are caused by technological advancements, changing supply chain logistics, and demand for durable goods relying on printed circuit board assemblies.
To solve these issues, Component Dynamics presented clients with updated service offerings and solutions, including:
- Component sourcing, driven by our rigorous quality management system, network of original equipment manufacturers, and extensive inventory of hard-to-find components.
- Excess inventory management that provides opportunities for businesses to unload unwanted items and let us handle either direct acquisition, consignment, or worldwide marketing.
- Warehousing and fulfillment to allow for peace of mind that electronic components are safely stored for shipment on demand to meet critical production timelines.
- Cost savings programs for access to top quality, obsolete, hard-to-find, and long lead-time electronic components at cost effective and actionable market pricing.
- Obsolescence management to help navigate the challenges of discontinued components, ensure the longevity and reliability of products, avoid redesigns and production stops.
Unlike other component providers, we specialize in offering personalized solutions tailored to the PCB industry, ensuring seamless integration and optimal performance for every client based on their needs.
PCB East was an excellent opportunity to network and share our expertise while connecting with others about how to best serve our client base. By attending these types of events, we gain access to cutting-edge insights that help us stay ahead in a competitive market.
