German components distribution experiences massive surge in demand German components distribution (according to FBDi e.V.) records almost 50% increase in order intake in the first quarter of 2021. Sales still slightly down at -6.1%. Components shortage prevents better result. Sales in the European and German components distribution market is still decreasing compared to the pre-Corona quarter Q1/20, but as in the last quarter, order intake went through the roof in Q1/21. After 23% in the previous quarter, customer bookings went up by 48.8%, signifying a new all-time high of €1.24 billion Euros. Sales were slightly below expectations at
771 million Euros (-6.1%), held back by the lack of components availability. At 1.61, Q1 showed the highest book-to-bill rate ever registered at FBDi. At product level, passive components, which were hit hardest in 2020, increased significantly by 6% to 101 million Euros of sales. Semiconductors saw a disproportionate decline in some product areas, resulting in an overall minus of -11% and sales of 501 million Euros.

Error Free Retrieval of SMD Reels Rhode and Schwarz an electronics group working across 70+ countries needed to improve their setup processes for populating electronic assembly groups for Surface Mounted Devices (SMDs) with an average of 200 setup processes per hour. The focus was on the availability of the SMD reels to ensure that the changeover went smoothly on populating lines with buffering times avoided during production. To ensure flexibility in the production process they installed automated vertical carousels that were able to ensure fast, simple, and error-free automatic storage and retrieval of the SMD reels for production. This allowed the company maximum flexibility in the production process, which is necessary for the wide range of products and changing batch sizes during production. The vertical carousels allow them to quickly react to changing market needs without any downtime. more about the MegaMat Vertical carousel go to our website

Title - CDS Now Offer Drop-In Replacements for the EOL Mitsubishi Range
In June 2020 Mitsubishi announced that it was withdrawing from the TFT LCD market. To alleviate customers’ worries and concerns from the fall out of this, CDS decided to design and launch a full range of alternatives to Mitsubishi TFT LCDS. This new range from CDS will act as
drop-in replacements for the Mitsubishi displays which are soon to be unavailable. CDS believe that their range are competitively priced and on a quicker lead time. The alternative will have the same or better specification (improved brightness or viewing angles) and are designed to be electrically / mechanically drop in compatible.
In addition to this, CDS have engineered their solutions from a cell, so they have full control of the design.
