ABOUT

Digital Transformation

Digital transformation is at the heart of Molex’s commitment to customer experience. Our substantial investments in transformative technologies across product development, manufacturing and supply chain bring data-driven decision making to the forefront of our business operations. We’re committed to exceeding expectations by ensuring product quality and reliability, shortening our customers’ time to market and preparing for unexpected disruptions that impact business operations for Molex and our customers.

Overview


In today’s fast-paced, connected world, innovation is most visible in the functionality of a product and measured in its size, speed and intelligence. But it’s the innovation behind the scenes that brings a product to life. At Molex, we’re undertaking a digital transformation, establishing a sophisticated network of people, processes and technologies to proactively navigate changing customer needs, more complex global supply chains, increasing regulatory requirements and broader competition. And we’re helping our customers do the same.

To us, digital transformation is more than just a technology initiative – it’s the seamless cohesion of real-time, data-driven decision making, engineering expertise and a collaboration-first culture. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning build upon the first-hand, human experiences we’ve gained over our 80+ years’ history of manufacturing industry-leading interconnect solutions that create lifelong connections. 

Whether it’s through innovations in product design, optimized manufacturing processes or proactive layers of supply chain redundancy, we’re ensuring our customers’ products enter the market faster, more cost effectively and with the quality and reliability necessary to compete in a global marketplace.

Product Development Made Possible with Engineering Expertise

In traditional organizations, product design is independent of manufacturing and supply chain considerations. Our digital transformation bridges the gap by placing the customer experience at the center of product development and enabling cross-functional collaboration, optimization and governance. Our global team of engineers is incorporating the latest “Design for” (DfX) methodologies and innovative digital design tools, such as predictive engineering, to bring our products to market quickly, reliably and cost-effectively.

Manufacturing Excellence for a Fast-Paced World

The Molex approach to manufacturing combines our global footprint and cutting-edge, purpose-built manufacturing technologies to ensure we’re responding proactively to customer demand. Our smart factory architecture enables new manufacturing processes to be tested in a digital environment before being implemented on the manufacturing floor, avoiding issues that require rework. Meanwhile, real-time data and automation are continuously improving part quality and shortening lead times by minimizing machine down time and removing unnecessary steps from the manufacturing process.

Next-Generation Platform Increases Responsiveness and Adaptability to Global Logistics Disruptions

It’s a global, complex and interconnected world when it comes to the supply chain — not just digitally, but in how we fulfill customer orders from source to delivery. The Infor Nexus solution provides powerful logistics and end-to-end supply chain visibility to support customer delivery expectations.

“The Molex users now, all across the supply chain, have a real-time view of what’s going on with orders, shipments, status, products and inventory throughout the end-to-end supply chain – and getting predictive and prescriptive insights so that way they can quickly respond to delays and problems before they impact the customer.”

Building a Smarter Supply Chain

At Molex, we apply the principles of digital transformation to our supply chain infrastructure from the earliest stages of product development through to customer fulfillment. At every step, real-time data helps minimize costs and improve speed, whether it is sourcing the most appropriate raw materials or avoiding complex manufacturing scenarios. When a customer is ready to purchase, our global footprint ensures products are available when and where they’re needed. This data-driven, customer-centric approach provides dynamic flexibility and visibility to Molex and our customers alike, while mitigating risks of the unexpected.
