Dental imaging devices, lottery ticket dispensers, surveillance video recorders, and soda vending machines have one thing in common.  They all run on computer systems designed and built by Arrow Electronics’ OEM Computing Solutions (OCS) group. 

OCS is an ideal solution for OEMs that may lack the resources for services like design, engineering and manufacturing.  OCS not only handles design and production for customers, it manages inventory, shipping and postsales support.  OCS serves OEMs of devices for a variety of industries, including communications, aerospace, health care and industrial controls, among others. 

"We're more than an integrator,” said Brian Armstrong, vice president and general manager of Arrow’s OCS group.  “We work with customers to configure commercial off-the-shelf products to our customer's specifications, or custom-create based on their needs."

Customers understand that the more OCS does, the less they need to invest in personnel, facilities, raw materials and inventory.  Additionally, with integration facilities in the U.S., Mexico, Hungary and China, Arrow OCS can build products closer to the OEMs' customers, reducing freight costs. 

OCS has dedicated field and inside sales reps and solutions architects “on staff.”  It operates factories around the world and, given it’s a group of Arrow Electronics, offers a one-stop solution for customers.
