The supply chain solutions team is celebrating the 1 year anniversary of the launch of TALON. TALON is a web based material release and inventory management system that makes extensive use of sophisticated bar code technology to support lean supply chain solutions such as kanban, consignment and in plant stores. This has been the most successful launch of this type of product in the industry's history.

TALON is the supply chain solution of choice for companies such as Honeywell, Cessna, and Crane - to name a few.

So, what is lean? Lean is the elimination of non value-added activities that tend to slow down material acquisition processes and bloat the inventories of our customers. TALON goes hand in hand with TTI's MRP1 inventory reservation system and allows our customers to replenish inventory as it is used not before. Learn more about TTI's Supply Chain Solutions!

Omron - XF3A FPC Connector

The XF3A has an ultra-low profile, with a pitch of 0.3mm, a height of 0.6mm, and a depth of 3.8mm (when locked), representing a 33% reduction compared to previous Omron models. Omron's XF3A is the industry's slimmest commercially available FPC connector with a backlock mechanism. Omron developed the XF3A in response to increased demand for slimmer FPC connectors with backlock mechanisms, which support the development of thinner devices.

These FPC connectors are used in a wide range of applications, including mobile devices such as phones, MP3 players and notebook PCs.
