Cradle To Grave
Let's face it. The "handling" part of semiconductor handling can entail dealing with one hassle after another from start to finish. That's why in 2007, a Tier-1 player in the Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) industry called on OX3 Corporation. Headquartered in the Midwest, our client offers its customers mechanical, electronic and software design, printed circuit board development, prototyping services, new product introduction, material procurement and supply chain management that set it apart from other EMS providers.
The program currently underway requires up to twenty line items per day to be processed at OX3. Each daily kit has to be unpacked, sorted, identified, taped and reeled, dry-packed and returned to their waiting production lines that same or the very next day. Unique about this service is that OX3 tracks the part numbers and coordinates with our client's buyers to ensure that materials are on-hand for future requirements of those same parts. Another important feature of this contract is the method of paying against the day's lot rather than against an open purchase order. This saves a mountain of paperwork.
The volume of line items being processed qualifies this customer for one of our lowest pricing tiers, making the entire program extremely cost-effective for both customer and supplier. From cradle to grave, semiconductors processed by OX3 meet up with the demands of a Tier-1 EMS provider's waiting production lines on a real-time basis.
OX3's semiconductor handling services are supported by three web sites at
OX3.com for services,
Reelpak.com for carrier tapes, and
Reel.biz for reels, cover tapes and miscellaneous supplies."
