Maintaining Legacy Parts & Obsolescence Solutions with Flip Electronics

Welcome to another episode of the Electropages podcast. Today, host Robin Mitchell is joined by Duker Dapper, VP and GM of Resurgent Manufacturing Services (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Flip Electronics) and Bill Bradford, President of Flip Electronics, to discuss bridging the gap between the lifecycles of semiconductor components and the lifecycles of the products that rely on them, Flip’s new strategic partnership with Ampleon and its impact on semiconductor obsolescence. The episode focuses on their collaborative efforts to extend the lifecycle of semiconductor components, crucial for industries relying on these technologies. 

Duker and Bill explain how they are working to ensure the availability of essential semiconductor parts, even as original productions cease. This process involves acquiring licenses to continue manufacturing and supplying these critical components, thus avoiding disruptions in industries like healthcare and automotive, where redesigning equipment around new parts can be costly and time-consuming. Bill shares insights into the origins and mission of Flip Electronics, emphasizing their specialty in navigating the challenges of obsolescence. Duker elaborates on the operational strategies the Resurgent Manufacturing Services acquisition brings to the Flip customer base, highlighting how their collective approach benefits the supply chain and end users by maintaining the flow of legacy components.
