Article By : Digi-Key Electronics

Digi-Key Electronics has released “Supply Chain Transformed,” a new video series that follows the journey of components across the supply chain as they are integrated and incorporated into next-generation asset monitoring and tracking systems.

Sponsored by Analog Devices Inc. and Molex, the three-part video series produced by Supplyframe highlights the stops a product makes throughout its route from design to production, including warehouses, manufacturing facilities, shipping and more. With so many eyes on the global supply chain this year, it’s more important than ever for accessible, automated monitoring and tracking to be available to everyone.

Digi-Key的物联网业务解决方案总监Robbie Paul说：“传感器对于通过供应链跟踪产品至关重要。”“ Digi-Key致力于开发下一代监测解决方案，这些解决方案可以改变供应链，以帮助世界更快，更有效地运作。”

The first of three videos in the series, “Components at the Source,” is now live on Digi-Key’s website. The episode will focus on how inventory is tracked throughout a warehouse, as well as emerging technologies like indoor positioning, robots/cobots and more.

The second video, entitled “The Product Journey,” will be released in early November. This episode will follow a product through its journey from origin to destination, and explore the technologies used to optimize routes, manage fleets of vehicles and track assets.

The third video, “Next Generation Production,” will showcase the wide variety of monitoring solutions available to ensure the security, safety and reliability of workers products, such as temperature monitoring, condition-based monitoring, the use of blockchain in supply chain management and more. The episode will be available in December.

“如果我们要可持续扩展一个有弹性且安全的供应链，该供应链可以为电子商务的预计增长提供，则必须是高度自动化的，”类似设备的连接运动和机器人技术主管Donnacha O’Riordan说。“配角和自动移动机器人将是该自动化的核心。在ADI，我们的DNA是弥合物理和数字世界的精确技术。这些技术使人类和机器能够合作。”

“Molex is pleased to once again collaborate with Digi-Key on the development of rich content that addresses very real and relevant issues for our customers,” said Fred Bell, vice president of global distribution for Molex. “As a leading provider of integrated electronic solutions and manufacturer for all major industries we are able to leverage a long history of addressing supply chain issues to help provide guidance in this particularly challenging time.”
