DENVER, Colo., October 22, 2024 — Accuris, the market leader in enabling digital transformation in engineering organizations, today announced significant enhancements to the company’s Parts Intelligence and BOM Intelligence solutions. These latest advancements are designed to safeguard organizations against counterfeit electronic components and avoid supply chain disruptions.
In partnership with chipsID, a company specializing in preventing counterfeit electronic components throughout parts selection, customers of Accuris Parts Intelligence and BOM Intelligence can now access comprehensive, specialized reports that help mitigate the risk of counterfeit parts entering their supply chains.
As many procurement teams are forced to source parts from outside authorized channels due to ongoing supply chain disruptions, safeguarding against counterfeit components is crucial. Accuris customers can now access Golden Sample Reference Reports from chipsID, which provides traceability documentation and high-resolution imagery to accurately discover counterfeit parts.
By cataloging high-quality images of verified “golden samples” of integrated circuits (ICs), manufacturers gain a reliable reference for visually authenticating components, reducing the risk of counterfeit electronic parts entering production processes. This adds an extra layer of assurance, increasing the efficiency and reliability of counterfeit detection, ensuring product integrity, and reducing the risk of costly errors or reputational damage.
Many organizations already benefit from the capabilities provided by chipsID. Edward Knutson, CEO and Founder of Dimation, said, “We benefit from the counterfeit chip verification service chipsID, which uses a ‘gold sample strategy’ for identifying defective or counterfeit parts. This approach ensures accuracy by comparing parts to a known authentic reference. chipsID approach enhances trust within the supply chain and helps us achieve business goals.”
In addition, the latest enhancements provide critical support for obsolescence management, ensuring that original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and distributors can confidently verify the authenticity of ICs, as they become scarce or reach the end of their lifecycle. The golden sample reports provided by chipsID can also address issues related to inaccurate parts selection from authorized distributers. chipsID reports provide an essential verification step, ensuring that only the correct and authentic parts are used in production.
“As supply chain disruption issues continue to manifest across the electronics industry, there has been widespread growth of counterfeit parts circulating within the marketplace,” said Duane Newman, Chief Product Officer at Accuris. “Our partnership with chipsID is designed to mitigate this risk for organizations. With their support, Accuris customers now have access to deep x-ray analysis of individual components to ensure that they are legitimate and meet all applicable standards.”
These latest features are included for all existing users of Accuris Parts Intelligence and BOM Intelligence at no additional cost. To learn more, please visit our website.
