Product Accelerator Plan (PAP)

The Product Accelerator Plan (PAP) developed by the Group is an innovative model whereby the company participates in the production costs and takes full ownership of all the development stages – engineering, production and assembly, until the final product.
This model enables the client to focus exclusively on the product’s marketing and sales without having to manage production, warehousing and logistics, inventory, human resources, etc.
The company is comprised of three divisions:
• Electronic Components and Acquisitions Division
• Supply Chain and Production Management Division.
• Engineering and Product Development Division.

Electronic Components Division

This was the company’s first division, and it has accrued extensive experience and a first-rate reputation during 40 years of activity. The company has representative offices in Germany, South Korea, Taiwan, China and Hong Kong. The company’s buyers enjoy its excellent reputation and widespread network of licensed suppliers and distributors of global manufacturers and other companies that supply active and passive components such as processors, memory components, sensors and others at the highest level of availability and quality.

Supply Chain and Production Management Division

This operational division provides clients with comprehensive solutions, including BOM component testing, component pricing, and calculation of production costs. Sub-contractors recommended by the Group and the company’s own professional team of technicians and engineers are entirely devoted to meeting the client’s specific requirements, to the client’s complete satisfaction. The Division’s operations are transparent and professional, providing clients with a basket of production solutions starting from the electronic card and including the production of an entire product and testing its functionality prior to delivering the product to the end customers. The Division abides by the strictest regulatory standards, including ISO 9001 and ISO 13485.

Shiratech R&D Division

In 2018, the Group acquired the start-up company Shiratech, which specializes in providing solutions to factories aspiring to become “smart factories” under the “Industrial Revolution 4.0”. Shiratech is A.Y. Electronics’ R&D division and it is a business partner of the large international companies ADI ST and Arrow.
In 2021, with the implementation of German Knowtion’s software and algorithm, Shiratech acquired Knowtion. Upon the acquisition, Shiratech focused on two main product lines:
1. AI-based product development services and software
2. Predicto - a software-based product and iCOMOX to automatically predict malfunction on the production floor, with no need for prior knowledge
The company’s leading solution is iCOMOXTM, based on sensors for monitoring remote systems by collecting data to a cloud and analyzing it. The Arrow and Analog Devices companies are partners in distributing the product to global markets.
The iCOMOXTM platform was selected by Siemens’ industrial cloud, MindSphere, as a predictive maintenance solution for factories and industry.
Shiratech serves a wide variety of customers in Israel and Europe. Shiratech benefits from A.Y. Electronics’ capabilities and the company now supplies its solutions to numerous and diverse industries, such as industrial factories, gas industries, construction management, infrastructure and medicine.
