The family business has been in existence for fifty years this year and has seen many crises come and go in the sector. We spoke with Van Truijen about the current component shortage in the EMS sector and about creative Dutch solutions for a global problem. \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cThe crisis in the supply chain of components, chips and raw materials has not gone unnoticed by anyone. Unless you haven&#039;t followed the news for the past two years,\u201d Van Truijen starts. While some companies took a wait-and-see attitude at the start of the crisis, Van Truijen and her brother invested heavily: \u201cWe have set up a completely new park with eleven &#039;smart&#039; machines and our own component stocks. This allows us to produce faster and more flexibly. That is a must in today&#039;s times.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<h2>Flexible and future-proof<\/h2>\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fhi.nl\/app\/uploads\/filemanager\/391\/1644928502_tanja - flexibel.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"167\" \/>Van Truijen: \u201cEven before the crisis, Michiel and I had the desire to always be future-proof. That is why we have consciously chosen to automate the production and control process as much as possible. This has doubled the capacity of our production.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>The new machines work on the basis of <em>manufacturing execution systems<\/em>software (MES). \u201cWith this software we can control and monitor the entire production process online and offline,\u201d Van Truijen explains. \u201cThe machines &#039;think&#039; along with our company, so to speak, which makes us very flexible. If a customer wants to adjust an order, this is no problem at all due to the fast turnover times of the machines. Sometimes, due to the shortage of components, we cannot immediately deliver a large order, but we can deliver a partial order. Then the customer will be helped out and we will deliver the other products at a later date.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<h2>Alternatives, brokers and design<\/h2>\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fhi.nl\/app\/uploads\/filemanager\/391\/1644925471_tanja - handen pcb.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"167\" \/>But even smart machines need materials to make products. And those materials are not always there. Tanja: \u201cThe lack of raw materials and semiconductors remains a problem in Europe for the time being.\u201d How does Protonic deal with this? Van Truijen: \u201cIn the event of delivery delays, we do everything we can to spare the customer and to get the orders ready on time. We do this in three steps. First of all, we look for alternative components that are equivalent to the components not supplied. We are contacting suppliers and factories outside Europe, such as China, the United States and Canada, to see if there are still stocks there.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cCommunication really makes the difference,\u201d Van Truijen continues. \u201cIf you are transparent and explain the situation to the supplier or manufacturer, they are often willing to think about solutions.\u201d As an example, Van Truijen mentions a recent discussion with a component supplier. \u201cThe supplier indicated that medical applications had priority. He did not realize that we also needed the components for a medical application. Once this misunderstanding was resolved, we received the parts quickly.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>In the rare case that Van Truijen, despite all efforts, cannot find alternatives, she contacts <em>brokers<\/em>, intermediaries in the market. She also has one last ace up her sleeve. \u201cWe employ designers, so we can adjust the design ourselves if necessary. We only do the latter if it benefits the customer and us,\u201d says Van Truijen.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Personal communication<\/h2>\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fhi.nl\/app\/uploads\/filemanager\/391\/1644926152_tanja - vrouw met telefoon.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"167\" \/>Despite the delivery problems in the EMS sector, Van Truijen looks to the future with an optimistic view. \u201cI always try to look at what is possible. If we cannot deliver on time, we try to explain this personally to the customer in order to find a solution together. My experience is that the customer is quite understanding, as long as you are clear and communicate in time that a delivery has been delayed. You must be realistic about delivery times from the start of the order. This will prevent misunderstandings. For example, if I buy a new car and I know in advance that I will have to wait six months for delivery, I take that into account. But if I suddenly receive an email three days before the planned delivery date that I have to wait another six months, I am not happy about that.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<h2>We have to be creative<\/h2>\r\n<p>Although component shortages are a global problem, not all companies are equally affected by the crisis. Multinationals continue to deliver on time. Van Truijen: \u201cThese companies have the financial resources to buy the entire capacity of a factory in one go, sometimes for a year. Other companies can then join the back of the queue. That&#039;s frustrating. As a medium-sized family business, we cannot stand still for a year to wait for products. So we have to <em>out of the box <\/em>think. \u201c<\/p>\r\n<p>Tanja certainly does not lack creativity and entrepreneurial spirit. \u201cI have a huge one <em>drive <\/em>to find solutions by being creative and flexible and by continuing to communicate well with suppliers and, most importantly, with our customers.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>More information about Protonic: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.protonic.nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.protonic.nl\/<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"articles bg--offwhite automatic\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"container\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"articles__header\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='heading-wrapper'><svg width=\"13\" height=\"13\" viewbox=\"0 0 13 13\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><circle cx=\"6.394\" cy=\"6.5\" r=\"6.394\" fill=\"#000\"\/><\/svg><h2>Related articles<\/h2><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/profiel\/fhi-federatie-van-technologie-branches\/\" class=\"button button--outline\">view profile<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"post-grid post-grid--no-padding\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\n<a class=\"single-item single-item__articles\" href=\"https:\/\/fhi.nl\/en\/news\/krachtige-10w-dc-dc-converter-voor-veeleisende-toepassingen-2\/\" data-id=\"56769\">\n\t<div class=\"single-item__articles-icon\">\n\t\t<svg width=\"103\" height=\"103\" viewbox=\"0 0 103 103\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M49.5 98.9587V82.3076C33.3844 81.2758 20.6328 67.878 20.6328 51.5019C20.6328 35.1258 33.3844 21.728 49.5 20.6962V4.04134C24.1941 5.08952 4 25.9365 4 51.5C4 77.0635 24.1941 97.9105 49.5 98.9587ZM53.5 78.2983V61.8096H76.3238C72.5238 70.9498 63.8222 77.5397 53.5 78.2983ZM49.5 78.298V61.8096H26.681C30.4804 70.9484 39.1799 77.5377 49.5 78.298ZM47.0728 57.8096H25.3773C24.8906 55.7865 24.6328 53.6743 24.6328 51.5019C24.6328 37.3358 35.5955 25.7301 49.5 24.7058V37.013H34.0466C33.2709 37.013 32.5653 37.4615 32.2359 38.1637C31.9065 38.8659 32.0128 39.6952 32.5086 40.2916L47.0728 57.8096ZM55.9249 57.8096H77.6274C78.1141 55.7865 78.3719 53.6743 78.3719 51.5019C78.3719 37.3342 67.4068 25.7275 53.5 24.7055V37.013H68.9511C69.7268 37.013 70.4324 37.4615 70.7618 38.1637C71.0912 38.8659 70.9849 39.6952 70.4891 40.2916L55.9249 57.8096ZM53.5 82.3079V98.9587C78.8059 97.9105 99 77.0635 99 51.5C99 25.9365 78.8059 5.08952 53.5 4.04134V20.6959C69.6178 21.7254 82.3719 35.1242 82.3719 51.5019C82.3719 67.8796 69.6178 81.2784 53.5 82.3079ZM0 51.5C0 23.7271 21.9843 1.08883 49.5 0.0381213V0H51.5H53.5V0.0381213C81.0157 1.08883 103 23.7271 103 51.5C103 79.9427 79.9427 103 51.5 103C23.0573 103 0 79.9427 0 51.5ZM38.3102 41.013H64.6875L51.4989 56.8765L38.3102 41.013Z\" fill=\"#2DD881\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"single-item__articles-title\"><div class='heading-wrapper'><h3>Powerful 10W DC\/DC Converter for demanding applications<\/h3><\/div><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"single-item__articles-terms\">\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"button button--outline single-item__articles-term--branche single-item__articles-term\">Industrial Electronics<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"button button--outline single-item__articles-term--branche single-item__articles-term\">Design Automation &amp;
