What it is
AECS is a game-changing costing and CO2e assessment solution for integrated circuits and electronic components, AI-driven and implemented at scale with 100% spend coverage. With typical cost reductions of 10-30%, AECS unlocks client challenges with capabilities such as:
- AI assisted solution with rapid electronics cost analysis and component CO2e assessment at scale
- Leading in-house (component and PCB) cost models to provide end-to-end solution
- Easy to implement capability to client organization
AECS transforms conventional approach…
Conventional costing approach
Time-consuming manual process from weeks to months
Unable to provide a preliminary answer to give directions for engagements
Process time limited by spend transparency and analysis capacity
Quality based on experience
Risk of inconsistencies and defects among analyses
Challenging to build capability within client
Client’s capability gap in electronics costing limits the continuity after engagements
…to advanced digital procurement tool
Advanced electronics costing solution
Automated cost analysis to provide week-1 answer
AI assisted cost analysis to provide week 1 answer with granularity
Possibility of multitasking for analyst while machine is running
Quality with consistency at scale
Consistent assessments among projects through AI assisted analyses
100% spend coverage on all electronic component categories
Long lasting impact with capability-embedded solution
Provides eases of deployment at client organization without users’ entry barrier
How it works
Image to Bill of Materials
Bill of Materials to Cost Estimate
AI-assisted component recognition by image
Build up bill of materials with component key attributes and semiconductor package dimensions
Bill of materials to Cost Estimate and CO2e assessment
CO2e assessment on electronic component level
Based on electronic component type, geometric dimensions, semiconductor technology node, PCB characteristics and assembly process, CO2e emissions are calculated
Software-enabled price & spec research
Research component description & market non-discounted price from the distributor's database by software app - PARSER
Built-in parametric costing models
Adopt built-in parametric cost models for applicable components' costs and estimate the electronics product's cost from the bottom-up approach
Benchmarking costing through discount models
Compute average discount % against market price and component type and benchmark with industry peers for cost estimations
Overall process flow of AECS can be conducted within minutes which is 10-100X faster than manual analysis
What it will do
AECS can be used to:
Diagnose saving opportunity quickly in diagnostics and outside-in diligence efforts
Assess synergy between two organizations in M&A (Merger and Acquisition)
Identify saving target for supplier negotiation in Procurement projects
Evaluate opportunity in competitive teardown in Product development projects
AECS unlocks full savings potential from the very beginning
Here are client examples
Electric vehicle manufacturer with 15 to 20% savings identified based on the analysis of 3000+ electronic component of more than 10 electronic modules
