At Princeps, not only do we understand the dangers of obsolescence, we have made it our mission to provide a service that not only reacts to the danger, it pre-empts the threat.
Princeps BOM Monitoring Service will:
- Give you early warning of component obsolescence
- Proactively identify your high-risk parts
- Provide End Of Life, Discontinuation and Obsolescence Notices when they are issued
- Identify Lifetime Buy opportunities for you to secure your product
Why Princeps?
Princeps uses a Silicon Expert Obsolescence Forecasting System to help our customers identify which products in their Bill of Material (BOM) are either at risk of going obsolete or may already have done so. By monitoring BOMs with Princeps, customers are given time to find alternatives, secure lifetime buys or even redesign their boards before having to face the dangers associated with having to find obsolete parts on the open market
Exactly what is BOM Monitoring?
Our BOM Monitoring service scrutinises your entire Bill of Materials, giving an immediate alert to any component mentioned in a Manufacturer PCN, PDN, EOL Notification or LTB warning, awarding our customers vital time to plan and react.
Princeps BOM monitoring uses a complex and sophisticated algorithm that can predict the likelihood of a component being made obsolete, with a predictive ‘time to obsolescence’ that will drastically decrease the risk of unavailable parts.
Even with the best planning tools, there may be occasions when there is no alternative other than to access the open market to procure obsolete parts. Princeps offer a range of risk mitigation solutions, up to and including fully bespoke test and inspection plans following AS6081, AS6171 or any other methodologies available. read more

This service has access to the largest PCN monitoring system in the world; creating Obsolescence Notices, Lifetime Buy Notifications and other Product Change Notifications all held in a single location providing real-time status for millions of individual components.
How can we help you?
The past half century has seen huge growth in the use of electronic components permeate just about every industry, leading to rapid product development and equally rapid product life cycles as newer, faster, shinier products become available.
In many sectors the components used have a life cycle significantly shorter than that of the product that they go into, when this happens risks can be incurred.
