PART #1: Material costs, accounting for over 80% of PCBA manufacturing expenses, require a holistic inventory strategy to efficiently manage and control. In this post-pandemic market, where labor costs continue to rise and material shortages still loom, it's critical that electronics manufacturers implement automated and labor-light solutions to get the most out of every component. Our latest white paper covers how inventory storage systems coupled with software tracking technologies can help mitigate risk and propel your manufacturing operation towards maximum efficiency and profitability.

Chapters in PART #1 (29 pages):

1. Registration & Identification
2. Storage & Location Tracking
3. Material Preparation & Setup

PART #2: Modern manufacturing operations require precise tracking and management of materials, including quantities and real-time location throughout the entire factory (whether in a warehouses or on the line). Ensuring continuous line replenishment and controlling for defective and sensitive materials are critical for maintaining final PCBA quality. This white paper will explore material tracking and kitting, handling of sensitive materials, and the need for a comprehensive software system to manage these complexities effectively.
