The shift prioritizing nearshoring and reshoring in electronics manufacturing is a promising step toward a more resilient, cost-effective future for the industry. In this blog, our software development team at Fidelity Solutions examines four companies that are reshoring and nearshoring their electronics manufacturing—and how software is helping them succeed.
4 Companies Nearshoring & Reshoring Electronics Manufacturing
Here are four companies leading the way in nearshoring and reshoring to strengthen their production networks and meet local demand:
Intel and Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Ford and LG Energy Solution
Foxconn
Firstronic
1. Intel & Amazon Web Services (AWS): Reshoring Semiconductor Manufacturing to Ohio
Intel and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are collaborating to reshore semiconductor manufacturing back to the U.S. with two massive new Intel chip fabrication facilities under construction in Ohio. Intel has keen skills in designing and making chips, while AWS offers advanced cloud services. Together, they create a strong foundation for producing chips in the U.S.
The software driving this reshoring initiative includes:
Cloud-Based Manufacturing: AWS helps Intel run simulations, manage production data, and coordinate operations to streamline processes and increase efficiency.
Machine Learning & Predictive Analytics: Machine learning algorithms look at real-time production data to boost output and prevent delays. Predictive analytics help Intel spot equipment issues early for production that’s smoother and more reliable.
Digital Twin Technology: Intel uses digital twins to test and improve manufacturing processes before applying them in factories to reduce waste and make production faster, more accurate, and consistent.
Contact Fidelity Solutions to see how our software development team—with our expertise in creating cloud solutions, machine learning tools, digital twins, and supply chain management systems—can help you reshore your electronics manufacturing.
2. Ford & LG Energy Solution: Reshoring EV Battery Manufacturing to Michigan
Ford and LG Energy Solution are partnering to bring EV battery manufacturing from Poland back to the U.S. to meet Ford’s rising demand for EVs while reducing reliance on overseas supply chains. A new facility in Michigan will supply Ford's electric vehicles with locally produced batteries.
The software driving this reshoring initiative includes:
Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES): MES software helps Ford and LG manage and monitor each step of the battery manufacturing process to increase efficiency and ensure quality on the factory floor.
Energy Management Software: Battery production uses a lot of energy. Energy management software helps facilities lower costs and support sustainability goals by using power more efficiently.
Quality Control Software: Automated quality assurance tools help each battery to meet Ford’s standards. As a result, they reduce waste and make their U.S.-manufactured EV batteries more reliable.
Contact Fidelity Solutions for expert MES, energy management, and quality control software to support your reshoring efforts.
3. Foxconn: Nearshoring Consumer Electronics & Circuit Board Manufacturing to Mexico
Foxconn is moving its manufacturing to Mexico, closer to the U.S. market. This change will help reduce shipping times and costs, improve the supply chain, and better meet local demand. The company is using advanced software tools to support efficient and high-quality manufacturing.
The software driving this nearshoring initiative includes:
Inventory & Warehouse Management: These software systems give Foxconn a clear view of its inventory levels, make its warehouse operations easier, reduce waste, and help it manage inventory more effectively.
Quality Control and Compliance Software: Foxconn uses automated quality assurance tools and compliance software to ensure all products meet the quality atnd regulatory standards needed for North American markets.
If your company is considering nearshoring its electronics manufacturing to Mexico, contact Fidelity Solutions to learn how our inventory and warehouse management, quality control, and compliance software can make it possible.
4. Firstronic: Reshoring Electronics Manufacturing Services to the U.S.
Firstronic moved its electronics manufacturing services back to the U.S. with the help of Plex’s cloud-based manufacturing software, which simplifies and optimizes its operations. Reshoring production reduces Firstronic’s reliance on overseas manufacturing, improves quality control, and better meets the needs of the U.S. market.
The software driving this reshoring initiative includes:
Plex’s ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) System: The Plex ERP helps Firstronic manage its manufacturing, finance, and supply chain data. Real-time insights and control over all operations help Firstronic use resources better and lower costs.
Data Analytics and Reporting Tools: Plex’s analytics software analyzes Firstronic’s production data to make better decisions. By identifying trends and improving its processes, Plex’s software helps Firstronic boost its productivity and control costs.
Quality Management Software (QMS): Plex’s QMS ensures that Firstronic maintains high-quality production standards. Firstronic can automate quality checks and capture detailed production data for analysis.
Fidelity Solutions develops ERP systems, data analytics, reporting tools, and QMS software that are superior to our competitors. Contact us to learn how!
