Sonitor and Arrow build strategic partnership to support development and manufacture of indoor positioning systems

Ideally suited to hospitals and emergency rooms, Sonitor’s ultrasound IPS provides automatic, precise and real-time ‘room-by-room’ location of equipment and people in complex indoor environments. Arrow has supported the company’s latest IPS development from concept, through prototyping and final implementation.

As a preferred supplier, Arrow provides Sonitor with semiconductors, passive components and connector technologies, plus access to technical support in the form of field application engineers. Supply chain support includes pricing, logistics and inventory management.

“Arrow has earned its status as a preferred supplier by providing us access to a broad linecard of advanced technologies as well as the technical and engineering support we need to identify, select and design in components optimised for the Sonitor IPS,” says Ragnar Bo, Sonitor’s chief executive officer. “At the same time, their supply chain capabilities closely match our requirements for a product that is being deployed on a global basis.”

Helge Olsen, the managing director of Arrow Norway adds: “Forming a strategic relationship with an advanced technology company such as Sonitor Technologies requires much more than simply the supply of product. Our product, engineering and supply chain specialists all work closely with the customer to provide a comprehensive service that supports Sonitor from initial concept through to final production.”
