The summer season is over and the Force Technologies team is back on the road. Our first major event of the autumn is the Microelectronics Global show, which takes place on 29 and 30 September at London's ExCeL.
Come and see us at stand G51 to meet the team and talk through how we keep obsolete and end-of-life semiconductors in production for long-life programmes.
A year of investment in UK sovereign capability
This year we have launched two major facilities that strengthen the security and continuity of the semiconductor supply chain, and both will be central to our conversations at the show.
The Sovereign Test Lab
Our new Sovereign Test Lab brings component test and analysis back onshore. It supports anti-counterfeit testing to AS6171, destructive physical analysis, visual inspection, X-ray and XRF, giving customers a UK route to authenticate parts and verify quality without sending sensitive devices overseas.
Titan Long-Term Storage
The Titan building is our dedicated long-term storage facility. Its nitrogen storage cabinets hold semiconductor die and assembled components in a controlled, monitored environment, protecting last-time buys so programmes can call parts off for years to come.
Standard products and custom packaging
Alongside the new facilities, the team will be on hand to discuss our standard product range and custom packaging options, from form, fit and function replacements to bespoke assemblies for high-reliability applications.
Supply chain resilience panel
Force Technologies' CEO Karen Salmon will also speak on the “Supply Chain Strategies for Continued Market Resilience” panel, sharing more on the continuity principle that runs through our approach to obsolescence.
