Würth Additive’s Digital Inventory Services Aims to Simplify Digital Supply Chain

Würth Additive Group’s Digital Inventory Services (DIS) is an inventory management system that enables the secure transmission of intellectual property to different locations worldwide, ensuring quality assurance checks and controlled distribution.

The system enables OEM parts to be sent into the world securely and profitably, all within a matter of minutes. It also gives users of additive manufacturing (AM) around the globe the simplicity to integrate 3D printing machines, applications, business models and more into a true digital supply chain platform.

Always in Stock

Würth Group says this system means parts are “always in stock” as the AM industry moves toward comprehensive digital inventory management systems. These systems are designed to integrate seamlessly with Würth’s vendor-managed inventory programs, systems and software.

The company is offering pilot program customers the opportunity to develop full-scale digital inventory solutions, which are built from the ground up, utilizing Würth’s expertise in vendor-managed inventory programs.

Customer-Centric Benefits

“Managing millions of different SKUs across four continents has equipped me with both the knowledge and firsthand challenges of inventory management,” says Larry Stevens, executive vice president of Würth Industry for Asia-Pacific, Africa and the Americas. “Our experience has demonstrated how digital inventory, complemented by our world-class Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) programs, significantly aids our clients directly on the factory floor. With the launch of Digital Inventory Services, the Würth Group reaffirms its commitment to providing top-tier physical and digital inventory solutions on a worldwide scale.”

Broader Use and Ease of Access to AM

“We're committed to delivering reliable and impactful digital supply chain solutions,” says AJ Strandquist, CEO of Würth Additive Group. “With a straightforward implementation process, cost-effective options and comprehensive support, our mission is to empower businesses in the industrial sector to leverage digital inventory effectively. Most importantly, our goal is to make global supply chain just a little easier to manage."

Commitment to Additive Advancement

“We deeply appreciate the Würth Group’s significant investment in advancing our next generation of inventory management tools for our customers and their ongoing support in highlighting developments within the additive manufacturing industry,” Strandquist says. “Equally, we are indebted to the additive manufacturing community for their invaluable support and continuous feedback throughout our Digital Inventory Services (DIS) development.”
