At electronica 2024, Chip 1 will be presenting an innovative highlight: My Chip 1, a software solution developed specifically for the needs of electronics manufacturers. This tool enables customers to upload their parts lists and retrieve important information on availability, risks and procurement directly. My Chip 1 not only simplifies the purchasing process, but also provides precise risk analyses - a decisive advantage in the dynamic electronics industry.
A key advantage of My Chip 1 is the automated risk analysis. After uploading a parts list, the system recognizes all components in a matter of seconds and points out critical factors. The option of filtering specifically for "high-risk" components is particularly helpful. The software shows in detail why certain components are risky - for example due to an advanced life cycle, limited availability ("last time buy") or because they are not recommended for new designs. These functions are essential for companies that need to plan for the long term, as the availability of components must be guaranteed over the entire life cycle of a product. My Chip 1 not only provides a snapshot, but also a transparent basis for well-founded decisions.
The integration of real-time data makes My Chip 1 an indispensable tool for procurement. The system records and processes current delivery times from various sources and compares them with the customer's requirements. An example: If a customer needs a component by December 2024, My Chip 1 automatically checks availability and warns of delays. Long delivery times, such as 24 weeks, are highlighted so that the customer can react in good time - whether by adjusting planning, ordering alternative components or reassessing the delivery strategy. This precise and fast data collection protects against unexpected production interruptions and ensures greater planning reliability.
Another highlight of My Chip 1 is the ability to process purchases directly via the system. After analyzing their parts lists, customers can seamlessly trigger orders without having to switch between different platforms. This not only saves time, but also reduces the potential for errors. With the clear visualization of risks and availabilities, the software offers a comprehensive tool that covers the entire process from analysis to purchasing. My Chip 1 is a transformative solution for the electronics industry. It combines accurate risk analysis, real-time information and an integrated purchasing system to save customers time and resources. Companies that rely on My Chip 1 benefit from a competitive advantage through optimized processes and maximum transparency in the supply chain. This software represents a new era in electronics procurement - efficient, reliable and future-oriented.
