Shorter Cycle Times and Greater Levels of Flexibility

When you're dealing with inventory you know that time is money. Enjoy the time and cost benefits of an integrated supply chain. When you purchase both the raw components and programming services from Arrow, you also experience several important benefits:

• Shorter total cycle time
• Reduced inventory
• Elimination of fall-out costs
• Greater ability to respond to demand changes
• Fewer vendors to manage

See our cycle time comparison for more details on how Arrow Global Programming Services can help you take time and cost out of your supply chain.

Tape and reeling services are also offered as a complement to our device programming services or on a stand-alone basis throughout Arrow’s global facilities.

We understand your need for consistent product quality.

Our Global Programming Centers provide the "industrial strength" processes, sophisticated redundant systems, and state-of-the-art equipment necessary to deliver reliably to your requirements.

All programming centers are ISO 9001:2008 certified and comply with the ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) JESD 625 standard. Our facilities are also ISO/TS 16949 compliant.

Our tape and reel facilities also follow the EIA-481, EIA-468 and EIA-296 standards.

State-of-the-Art Equipment for Fast Turnaround and Maximum Quality

As pin counts and chip densities continue to rise, lead alignment and co-planarity become increasingly critical.

Our investment in both integrated and standalone vision inspection systems ensures that the proper mechanical integrity, label, and device orientation are maintained throughout the production process.

Unique JobControl™ Software

Once you approve the first article device or its chipless equivalent, our state-of-the-art systems handle the rest. We load your specific program and unique instructions—from marking preferences and correct revision to programming and serialization requirements—into our JobControl software.

JobControl communicates with our programming equipment to automatically configure Arrow’s machinery with your unique instructions. This ensures that your specific requirements will be satisfied reliably, time after time.

Additionally, as part of our overall quality control solution, your JobControl parameters, including first article detail, become part of our Central Data Library.

Each of our Global Programming Centers is electronically linked to this library so we can quickly, accurately, and consistently meet your unique programming specifications, anywhere in the world.

Comprehensive Shop Floor Control System

From the initial first article configuration to final shipment of the product, we maintain the highest levels of quality throughout the programming process.

Our Shop Floor Control System helps stage production in the most efficient manner, utilizing time standards, traveler documentation, and capacity planning.

Our approach leverages bar code and scanner technology to provide electronic order tracking throughout the production process. It even monitors usage on our programming equipment. These aid in our preventative maintenance program and help maintain the highest- quality output on a consistent basis.

Coupled with our lean manufacturing initiatives and Kaizen methodology, our Shop Floor Control system produces optimum turnaround time for order processing. It allows us to dynamically balance demand across the globe.

A Continuous Investment in Advanced Programming Technology

Arrow completes its total programming solution by investing in the latest advanced equipment offered by the world’s leading manufacturers. Working jointly with our equipment partners in proprietary co-development, we continually update our Global Centers to enable the industry’s highest processing speeds and fastest cycle times.

Our high level of investment assures our customers that they need not make these capital outlays; Arrow can provide leading-edge solutions for your programming needs now and in the future.
