Jaltek Systems is delighted to announce that we have recently subscribed to a new BOM Management software programme from SiliconExpert. SiliconExpert provides electronic component data & parts management software to the electronics industry. The software allows us to manage our customer’s Bill of Materials in one centralised location and has the most precise data and sophisticated tools for component management on the market.

The tool identifies incorrect manufacturer’s part numbers suggesting correct options, identifies accounts for acquisitions between manufacturers and also populates the latest component data from SiliconExpert's database.

The software can also generate reports for thousands of components instantaneously including data such as:

• BOM Health
• Lifecycle status
• Multi-sourcing
• Regulation compliance
• Component selection risk
• Inventory availability from authorised distributors
• Counterfeit Component
• ITAR Controlled Parts
• Conflict Minerals

All of which are increasing challenges and risk factors for supply chain management. SiliconExpert allows us to protect our customer’s against all these threats as efficiently as possible.

In addition, we receive e-mail alerts whenever datasheets, PCN or lifecycle statuses are changed for any component in our customers’ bill of materials.

Joe Clayton, Senior Production Engineer for Jaltek Systems, commented on the software saying; "We looked in to various BOM Management tools and after trialling them SiliconExpert  provided the most accurate and comprehensive data on the market. The tool will allow us to ensure that our customers BOM’s are as low risk as possible and therefore in turn that their products have guaranteed longevity, reliability and a faster time to market, all of which are critical factors for many of our customers."
