Lead-Time Apocalypse - SFE at the UAS Summit 

Silicon Forest Electronics EVP/General Manager Jay Schmidt presented at the Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) Summit in Grand Forks, North Dakota, in early August.  Jay was joined by Dustin Carlson, Western Region Manager for Digi-Key Electronics, a key distributor of electronic components. 


Jay's presentation, "Lead-Time Apocalypse" was created to raise awareness about the growing difficulty in obtaining electronic components due to the growth in a variety of industries, and how the "Apocalypse" could affect the growing markets of unmanned systems and aerospace electronics.
