OCTOBER 2021 I SMT007 MAGAZINE 91
Kevin Decker-Weiss of
CircuitByte and Mark
Laing of Siemens explain
how a tool called BOM
Connector can improve
quoting and manufactur-
ing flow. Mark and Kevin
are openly enthusiastic about
this topic; this conversation
launched immediately into a
technical discussion.
Luminovo founder Sebas-
tian Schaal says his com-
pany is using its experi-
ence as an AI provider
to help implement Lumi-
Quote, a new EMS RFQ
software tool. Sebastian explains how LumiQuote helps
cut down the waste in the BOM process and friction
between OEM and EMS providers, and gives designers
the EMS data they need earlier in the design process
so they can make more informed decisions.
Siemens Healthineers, the renowned provider
of medical technology, awarded Zollner Elek-
tronik AG for its competitiveness and excellent
collaboration.

The EMS/Designer
Relationship: Kelly's Story
In a recent discussion
with John Vaughan and
Kelly Dack, we explored
how parts availability in-
formation can reverber-
ate back to the design
team in unexpected
ways. In this part of the interview, Dack
details how a parts availability issue can
restart the design all the way back with
the OEM design team.

who want to experiment with a few IIoT devices
before committing to a larger IIoT project.
