Robert Miller, President of Future Electronics, Reinforces Strong Focus on Microcontrollers

Pointe Claire, Quebec (realtimepressrelease) November 13, 2015 – Robert Miller, President of Fture Electronics, a global leading distributor of electronic components, continues to place strong emphasis on the company’s focus on microcontrollers.

Future Electronics prides itself on its expertise in the field of microcontrollers. Todd Baker, Corporate Vice President, who works closely with Robert Miller, President of Future Electronics, recently wrote an article explaining what microcontrollers are and what they do, which was recently featured in the company’s magazine. An abridged version of the article follows herein.

For decades, 8-bit MCU architectures were the embedded system architecture of choice and absolutely dominated the worldwide market share. They were the simplest to design with, lowest power consuming, and cheapest to manufacture, which made them perfect for the high volume industrial and commercial applications of the past. Over the last few years that has drastically changed, and new processor core designs, along with smaller silicon manufacturing capabilities, have led to a great shift towards 32-bit MCU architectures. These more advanced architectures are now capable of the same higher performance they’ve always had, with much lower power consumption and price points than were formerly possible.

Approximately 80% of an embedded project’s design time is spent on writing firmware for the MCU. The MCU is almost always the first part selected on a design and it will set the course for every capacitor, voltage regulator, PHY and connector that the design will need.

Future Electronics’ Advanced Engineers help educate and support customers during this long MCU selection process. While the customer is focused on code and is calling the AE to ask for assistance with MCU bugs, the AE is able to monitor the design and recommend regulators, connectors, and other components that the engineer hasn’t even considered yet.

The Advanced Engineering Group has the know-how and the passion to be the point people in the market for our sales team and our suppliers. Our network of leading supplier partners gives us a wide product offering and the expertise to support customers.

Robert Miller, President of Future Electronics Speaks About Eco-Friendly Inventory Exchange Program

Pointe Claire, Quebec (realtimepressrelease) October 30, 2015 – Future Electronics, a leading global electronics component manufacturer, continues seeing great success with its Inventory Exchange Program, an innovative, eco-friendly effort launched several years ago by Robert Miller, President of Future Electronics in Montreal, Quebec.

“Participating members provide Future Electronics with a current list of their component inventory. When there is excess availability of larger quantities of individual device types, Future Electronics implements its “Stop Manufacturing” process, whereby suppliers agree to stop manufacturing a particular component, in order to allow the real-world demand to catch up with real-world supply. Future Electronics then contacts participating customers with ongoing demand for the current inventory of other program members,” explains Robert Miller, President of Future Electronics.

Not only is the program environmentally conscientious, it also benefits customers. All customers face excess inventory and obsolete product sooner or later. The IEP, developed by the company’s president and founder, Robert Miller, can bring tremendous value to customers by helping them through these challenges.

Robert Miller adds, “Every year, more than $20 billion of inventory rots on a shelf somewhere and never gets used, usually because some company made more of it than they could sell or because somebody bought more than they needed. But typically, about $12 billion of that $20 billion in inventory are standard parts that someone else needs and can use.”

Miller continued, “This isn’t just bad for business, it’s bad for the environment. At Future Electronics, we help reduce waste while also helping suppliers and customers, by matching people with product, at current market price. This one-of-a-kind program was created by and is available only through Future Electronics.”

One example of how the Inventory Exchange Program works is when one of the company’s customers in Seattle was using an image sensor on a legacy design that had become obsolete. They were having serious challenges locating product. As luck would have it, a smart phone manufacturer had some excess inventory on this module. Future Electronics was able to connect the two parties and leverage our relationship to facilitate the sale of the product. The customer with the excess product was able to move their product and was pleased to receive the same amount that they had originally paid for the parts.

Through the Inventory Exchange Program, Future Electronics has visibility to billions of dollars worth of available-to-sell product, typically not visible to the market. The company shares visibility of this inventory to customers through a special website specifically for IEP products, and this inventory is also visible to the entire Future team worldwide through a globally integrated online dashboard.
