Artificial Intelligence (AI) is moving fast and changing the way we live and work. But AI wouldn’t be possible without the right hardware. AI systems need components like GPUs and advanced CPUs to process huge amounts of data quickly and efficiently. (more…)
Obsolete Components Industry News: page 3 of 5
Electronic components are the building blocks of the current advances in technology. Two of the most significant advances are AI and blockchain. Both these technologies will have an impact on the electronic component supply chain.
Every company that relies on a supply of electronic components has to manage component obsolescence: the inevitable day when the original manufacturer sets a date for end of life, that is, for production to cease. Sometimes the components are still up to date technically. Sometimes there is still an active demand for them. Despite that, the manufacturers decide to stop manufacturing them. Here’s why it happens.
One of the problems we solve for our customers is helping manufacturers keep production going when an essential component becomes obsolete. The underlying reason for the problem is quite simple: the life-cycle of the finished product is often much longer than the life-cycle of the components it relies on.
There are a vast number of suppliers selling up-to-date electronic components, but every day we help companies solve problems by supplying the obsolete components they need. Why do they buy these from us?
