Global Sourcing Spotlight: The True Cost of Low Cost
03/25/2026 | Bob Duke -- Column: Global Sourcing SpotlightThere’s an illusion in global sourcing that cheaper means better business. For decades, procurement teams received rewards for driving down unit prices, without realizing how many zeros those “savings” add to the other side of the ledger. With today’s volatile, interconnected supply chains, the lowest price is rarely the lowest cost.
From PEDC to APEX: Banyan.eco’s Disruptive AI for EMS and OEM Companies
03/17/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007The electronics industry’s struggle with supply chain resilience and increasing regulatory complexity has created a costly compliance challenge for OEMs and EMS providers alike. At the same time, advances in artificial intelligence are opening new possibilities for automating some of the industry’s most data-intensive tasks. At the Pan-European Design Conference (PEDC), Banyan.eco cofounder Francis D’Souza introduced a new approach that combines AI-driven data acquisition with a deterministic verification layer to eliminate compliance risk from AI hallucination and dramatically improve productivity.
Fresh PCB Concepts: Cost Stability in a Period of Copper and Gold Volatility
02/12/2026 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsAnyone who works with PCBs in any capacity right now can feel that copper and laminate prices are not stagnant, gold price is increasing even faster, and the impact shows up quickly on PCB quotations. For many design teams, this feels like a force outside their control. Raw materials go up, and the board cost goes with it. I want to highlight that many of these swings are manageable.
Global Sourcing Spotlight: The New Landscape of Manufacturing
02/11/2026 | Bob Duke -- Column: Global Sourcing SpotlightFor decades, manufacturing followed a familiar pattern: design in the West, production in China, and distribution elsewhere. That map no longer works. The shocks of the past five years—the pandemic shutdowns, trade wars, logistics meltdowns, and geopolitical uncertainty—have redrawn the boundaries of global manufacturing. The question every OEM is asking isn’t “How cheap can we make it”? but “How certain are we that we can obtain it?” We are witnessing a seismic shift in the landscape of making things. The work hasn’t disappeared; it’s just moving.
Learning with Leo: The Cost of Training on Skills and Knowledge Development
01/07/2026 | Leo Lambert -- Column: Learning With LeoThe ability to manufacture electronic products requires specific skills and knowledge, which have traditionally been developed through on-the-job experience and training. These experiences and training programs are expensive to implement, yet they are necessary to meet customer demands and remain competitive in the marketplace. Today, manufacturers, including government contractors, rely on industrial specifications in the design, fabrication, and assembly of electronic products.
