Top 10 risks and challenges of dealing with Far East suppliers

/

Top 10 risks and challenges of dealing with Far East suppliers Prepare for challenges when dealing internationally with the Far East In a recent interview, the CDS CEO / Managing Director was asked to give some advice on the risks and challenges of dealing directly with Far East suppliers, including some of the things that can and have gone wrong. Below, we have summarised Chris’s TOP 10 challenges, although, after consideration, it did run into 15!  We hope this gives you some points to consider and the challenges to prepare for when carrying out such international trade. It should be noted that Chris has highlighted these points from his own experience and for the technical products he has imported and promoted for 30+ years.  He cannot speak for any other specific industries and products. However, there will be several similarities and parallels regarding the risks and challenges involved. Best regards Meghan Mudge, Head of Marketing The Risks and Challenges with Far East Suppliers Cashflow – You will unlikely get credit terms, so there is a cost and cash tied up before you receive products. This can be up to 6 months! But even if it is cash before shipment when the goods are “ready”, some of the risks below will still apply! After-sales support – Real technical support and troubleshooting from Far East companies can be good in price and lead time, plus maybe a sample, but less so in troubleshooting or technical support, especially when your products are in the field. Product Consistency – The samples supplied can vary from the production items supplied, which can create severe design/manufacturing issues, especially when they already have your money. Quality Control – this can be weak with simple, quick visual tests undertaken. Legal Recourse is very difficult – What happens if the company disappears or supplies you with unacceptable products but will not return your money? Miscommunication – Language barriers should not be underestimated, as they can lead to delays and wrong decisions at the factories. Time zone challenges – you often have a limited window when you can contact the factory, but do not expect an answer that day for the same reason. Due diligence and Quality Control – have you visited and audited the actual factory that will manufacture your products? How can you know it is not just an agent working out of his mother’s kitchen just because he has a website and speaks relatively good English? Have you built that cost into your product cost as it is a cost of sale? Customs and import issues – if they do not complete the paperwork correctly, products can sit in customs for weeks, either in the Far East or the Home country entry port. Repairs and returns – You should not underestimate the difficulty, time, and cost of returning products to China, which is very much set up for exporting and not receiving its own products back again! Freight costs – and management should also be calculated, including the time a distributor takes away and manages for you. Currency risks—the price can fluctuate between the quotation and the actual price, and you transfer the money so that the actual price can rise. Payment scams – It is not unknown for Far East companies to get hacked. If you transfer money to the wrong account, you will lose all your money as the factory never received it. Clarity of terms—This should be crystal clear, as any confusion can be costly and sometimes terminal, especially when they already have your money. Loss of money! – There have been examples of European companies losing huge amounts of money when dealing with Far Eastern companies. That risk never goes away, to be honest, but that is the risk of doing such business. Every company has to ask themselves, ” Can we take that hit?” If not, a local distributor provides the security of supply and after-sales service. Click here to find out more about our team Conclusion If you have any questions or require any advice, you can email Chris at info@crystal-display.com, and he will try to help you however he can.

Transportation Safety and Standards: The Importance of EN50155 and EMC Compliance in Rail Applications

/

Transportation Safety and Standards: The Importance of EN50155 and EMC Compliance in Rail Applications CDS putting Transportation Safety and Standards First Transportation systems, particularly rail applications, operate in some of the most challenging environments, requiring uncompromising reliability and stringent safety standards. Industrial devices, especially those used in rolling stock, must withstand extreme conditions while maintaining consistent performance for up to 250,000 hours—equivalent to nearly 30 years of continuous operation. The demands of rail systems are further intensified by limited space, where devices are often installed in close proximity. As a result, these units must function without interfering with one another, adhering to the highest transportation safety and compatibility standards. Key Challenges in Rail Applications Environmental Extremes Rail devices must endure a variety of harsh environmental conditions, from extreme temperatures to continuous vibrations and shocks. These challenges require specialized designs that prioritize resilience and performance. Moving Applications The mobility of rolling stock introduces additional complexities, including the need for devices to remain operational under dynamic conditions. Ensuring seamless operation in these environments demands adherence to globally recognized standards, such as EN50155 and IEC 61850. Core EN50155 Compliance Requirements With extensive experience in railcar applications, we understand the importance of compliance with the EN50155 standard, which outlines essential requirements for electronic equipment in rolling stock environments. Here are the five key aspects of EN50155 compliance: Power Supply Efficiency and Temperature Management Devices must operate with an efficiency of 85% or higher, supporting a wide range of input voltages and load variations. Temperature monitoring is crucial, especially for rail applications in regions with extreme climate variations. Shock and Vibration Resistance Equipment must withstand significant shocks and vibrations, depending on its mounting position: Axle-mounted: Up to 30g shock for 5 hours and 1km/s vibration. Body-mounted: Less than 1g vibration and 5g shock. Power Supply Input Voltage EN50155 mandates specific DC input voltage ranges, including 24V, 48V, 72V, 96V, and 110V. Implementing an input capacitor further stabilizes DC input by smoothing out surge currents. Efficiency and Reliability Safety and quality are paramount. EN50155 requires protection against electrical faults, robust wiring and layout, and the use of high-quality connectors. These elements ensure reliability in critical operations. Approval Testing Compliance testing covers a wide range of performance factors, including: Visual inspection Operation under extreme temperature conditions Dry heat testing Input voltage range performance Surge protection Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) testing This rigorous process ensures that devices meet operational, safety, and compatibility standards before deployment. Comprehensive Safety Standards In addition to EN50155, our products meet other critical safety and performance certifications: CE, FCC Compliance: Ensures equipment safety and electromagnetic compatibility. Full IP65-Rated: Protection against dust and water ingress. IEC 61850 Compliance: This standard ensures redundancy and reliability in power supply systems, critical for electricity transmission and industrial applications. Advanced EMC and EMI Solutions At Crystal Display Systems, we have invested heavily in mitigating Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and ensuring Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) in our All-in-One Panel PCs. Our industrial automation solutions are designed to meet IEC 61850 standards, addressing customer demands for safe and reliable operations. Key benefits of our EMC solutions include: Radiation Protection: Minimizing electromagnetic interference with other systems.
