Obsolescence management in the context of Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) is about identifying and addressing the risks associated with the life-cycle of your product’s electronic components. Prima’s obsolescence management service provides a proactive, economical, and data-driven approach, enabling you to plan and respond ahead of any impending obsolescence. Those responsible for product engineering, product compliance or procurement will particularly find this service of great value.
We use IHS Markit BOM Intelligence, a proven and highly advanced database-driven system that enables us to identify electronic parts close to the end of their product lifecycle and suggest suitable alternatives. This provides the supply chain continuity needed for your product and ensures it is never compromised as components become unavailable from the original manufacturer.
• The industry’s largest electronic components database of over 500 million parts
• Simple process – just provide us your product’s BOM in an agreed format
• Broad database that eliminates the risk of counterfeit parts and the need to source on the grey-market
• BOM analysis tools to address economic sourcing
• Your BOM information is stored in a secure Cloud-based portal
• Useful information related to functionality, lifecycle, supply chain and compliance
• Alerts:
