By popular request, we have developed multi-BOM risk reporting functionality. Additionally, our users have been asking for the ability to edit our Approved Components List (ACL) directly from the web interface, rather than editing a spreadsheet and uploading the contents into our software. We’ve created an easy way to add new items to the list without having to upload an entire spreadsheet. Finally, we’ve beefed up our part search data with Radiation Hardening information and adding Military Spec options to vendor parts. >>Read More

For customers who are unable to find a suitable replacement for parts, SiliconExpert has devised an alternative with different features that will necessitate a design change. These alternatives will have similar functionality to the original part and are referenced as "SF Crosses".

Users can now search military documents from our database of historical QML / QPL papers for the United States military and federal government for over 1.5 million pre-tested products.

For customers using military or federal supply components, this feature is important to see if the parts are within compliance.

Stock level disruptions could happen suddenly when ports or suppliers are suddenly shut down. Or, the immense demand in consumer electronics and automobiles could easily drain the inventory of certain parts.

To help you keep ahead of inventory stock-outs, the new "Inventory Alerts" feature will send an automatic warning to your email when inventory levels of certain parts in your BOM drop to dangerous levels.
