A comprehensive database developed by Körber Digital simplifies the important process of obsolescence management in the mechanical engineering industry. The MBO group is now putting this solution to good use.
One major challenge in the mechanical engineering industry is that machines are becoming increasingly reliant on electronic vendor parts. The issue is that these components have short innovation cycles, yet users require a solution for replacement parts for decades to come. This is why mechanical engineers have to keep this development in mind when performing obsolescence management (OM). Experts request the current delivery status of an assembly from their suppliers during the development phase and work out replacement solutions in the event of product change or end-of-life notifications
