Daan, if someone has this I am sure there will be considerable interest from the rest of Technet. I know I would like our design people to have something like this. Even if only for SMT Res. and Caps. I use an excel spreadsheet for parts stocked on the floor and often have multple equivalent parts, some of which may never be used. -----Original Message----- From: d. terstegge [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Friday, July 25, 2003 3:31 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] Component database software Hi Technet, Can anyone point me in the direction of some commercially available component-database applications ? We want to have a database with all sorts of components information, like manufacturer partnumbers, shapes, values, packaging, PDF-datasheets (or links to them) and much more. The idea is that designers, test-enigineers, production engineers, purchasing and logistics all have acces to the same source of information, so that several processes can be streamlined. One of the main issues is the quick and error-free conversion of a customer's bill of material to a partslist with our own partnumbers and vendors. The software that I'm looking for should have possibilities to interface with MFG-PRO (our MRP-system).
