【Echo Tech】 Shortage of semiconductor and Ultrasonic cutter.
Ultrasonic cutter has sold so much, pushing annual sales up drastically!!
This is truth, but we are facing problem of stock shortage that might be happen in winter this year.
Shortage of semiconductor
As a global big issue, shortage of semiconductor is now attracting public.
This problem confuses many of world manufacturers because semiconductor as “IC” is now becoming one of critical component for production. We also be affected to this problem, that we could not produce Ultrasonic products without IC.
Recently, I heard from TV news that delivery date of IC from order date takes about an year now. We have told almost same delivery date from our supplier, and if we wait for it, we could not sell products for an year at least. Which means, we could no longer run our company.
We still have Ultrasonic cutter ZO-91 and ZO-95 stocks in our warehouse, but due to production problem, it might be run out soon. If you need units now, please send us message a.s.a.p. so we may keep unit for you.
Why did “semiconductor shortage” happened?
There are 2 reasons that we could think.
１．Outbreak of Coronavirus.
After the coronavirus outbreak, the time people stay in home get longer, and demand of PC, TV, other electronic appliances which needs IC get drastically grows together. Also, most automobile makers had predict that sales of automobile will decrease after April 2020. Predictably, the sales declined temporarily, but it recovered faster than expectation. After prepared parts, it takes about 3 months to make IC, so they are now ordering big quantity to recover their business.
２．SMIC(Chinese foundry) listed in entity list.
End of 2020, American government added SMIC which is one of world largest foundry in entity list. Company added on American entity list will be restricted import products from America. This leads a decrease of world IC production.
In summary, semiconductor’s demand gets high, and the supply gets lower.
Overcome this problem!
To overcome this problem, company has to control price and stock to sustain their business.
We are planning produce plan in 5 months forward, and thinking sales plan for each month.
Hope this problem will pass soon, and manufacturers will overcome!
