The public Chinese Spring Festival (aka Chinese New Year) is quickly approaching and will begin at the end of January 2022. While the holiday is officially only a week long, its effects on the manufacturing industry are much longer. Here's what you can expect this year:
Here's an update on how the component shortages are affecting our services and some concrete steps you can take as a response.
You may have noticed that our instant PCBA quote bar has recently gotten a new look! We've listened to your feedback in order to create an easier to use tool. Here's everything that has changed:
The public Chinese Lunar New Year holiday is coming up in February 2021. It is a welcome and well deserved break for Chinese workers. However, it is also a notoriously stressful time for the global manufacturing industry. Although it is still a couple months away, we want to make sure our customers are informed so that they can adjust their build schedules ahead of time and avoid potential delays. Here's what to expect this year and how you can prepare.
One of our ongoing, core goals is to help you spend as little time in-between uploading a project and getting a quote. The most important part of automatically generating a quote is the BOM. Recently, we've made some improvements to simplify the BOM reconciliation process.
As part of our effort to make going from project upload to quote and order as fast and painless as possible, CircuitHub now supports auto-reconciliation of BOMs that are uploaded along with your design files.
As you're probably aware, the spread of the COVID-19 virus (coronavirus) has had a significant impact on worldwide supply chain. If you're reading this, you're likely concerned with how the virus might affect your PCB orders through CircuitHub.
One of our biggest missions at CircuitHub is to find ways to prevent manufacturing mistakes before boards go into production. The more issues that we can prevent before an order is placed, the smoother manufacturing will go, saving you both precious time and money.
You can now specify impedance control requirements which will automatically be quoted. You can find the impedance control section on the specifications section of your board tab.
We just released a new feature that allows you to have firmware programmed onto your devices during the manufacturing process.
We're often asked "How can I allow others to view and edit my project?". Organizations create a GitHub-like space for hardware projects, making it easy to set up teams and collaborate with your peers.
A question that we've frequently been asked is "How should I deal with parts which are out of stock or not available on CircuitHub?" We recently released several features which let you supply your own pricing, add parts that aren't in our database, and consign parts.
