By offering these services at no cost, Digi-Key will help medical device manufacturers source components quickly and ramp up production.
Through the partnership, Z2Data is offering no-cost access to its database of more than one billion electronic components through its Part Risk Manager and Supply Chain Watch tools. These tools allow organizations to managing their bill-of-materials, make informed part selection decisions, find cross-references and alternatives, and track inventory availability of parts alongside real-time pricing and lead times.
