S1: EPISODE 1
Components at the Source
Global suppliers count on DigiKey to monitor, organize, and ship priority components to manufacturers each and every day. How did these products get here? In this episode, we follow the supply chain back to its source, touring one of Molex’s manufacturing facilities to learn how this supplier is pushing innovation forward with its next-generation products.
S1: EPISODE 2
The Product Journey
Demand for electronics across industries is at an all-time high. With global component shortages impacting supply, efficient transportation and tracking of components on the move has become a top priority. How can technology ensure that precious components are not damaged, lost, or delayed in their journey across the globe? In this episode, we follow the product’s journey as it travels across the supply chain.
S1: EPISODE 3
Next Generation Production
In our final episode, we look at how the individual aspects of the supply chain combine to create the future of global manufacturing. From condition-based monitoring to worker safety, to collaborative robotics designs and predictive maintenance, the future of global supply chains is one that focuses on both security and safety for the people within it.
