Web-Based Tool Accelerates Parts Search

The CAPS Connect ES, an on-line component management system for OEMs and manufacturers, promises faster, easier, and more comprehensive component searches. The tool offers two notable features: a biased intelligent search capability that automatically corrects misspelled words and corrupted part numbers, and the ability to address environmental compliance regulations. Reported benefits include lower procurement costs, shorter production times, and the ability to manage risks associated with environmental compliance and part obsolescence. The system houses data on over 65 million electronic components from over 2,000 manufacturers and its database offers more than 50 years of data history, continuously updated with current product introductions, changes, and discontinuations.
