Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has expanded its Product Information Management API Service to cover all 73 product categories listed in its product database. The expansion allows engineers, developers, and procurement specialists to access the latest product information through external systems. As a result, users can respond faster to product status changes and reduce the risk of component obsolescence.
Digital transformation continues to reshape the manufacturing industry. Therefore, companies increasingly depend on connected systems throughout design, component selection, and procurement processes. Previously, Murata’s Product Information Management API Service covered only surface-mount ceramic capacitors, leaded ceramic capacitors, and inductors. Consequently, users had to manually retrieve and update information for many other products.
This manual process created additional workload for users. In addition, it created opportunities for the loss of vital information about specifications or status updates. These delays would impact the product development schedules and component sourcing.
Expansion Increases Design and Procurement Efficiency
In order to overcome such issues, Murata has decided to expand the service to all 73 product categories that can be found on its database. Now users can get up-to-date information on products automatically through the systems and platforms they use. With the help of an update program, it becomes possible to receive updated specifications, product status information, S-parameters, and SPICE Netlists without any need for manual operations.
Additionally, the extended Product Information Management API Service makes the work of different business departments more efficient. Engineers will be able to make design decisions quicker. Buyers will get better product availability tracking. Also, it is possible to easily find alternative components in case of changes in the product status.
The expanded API Service also makes it easier to manage product information throughout the development process. Since users will receive updated information automatically, they will manage to keep it accurate while making planning and sourcing decisions. As a result, businesses will reduce the level of disruptions and increase efficiency.
