Semiconductor Review has recognized ERAI as the Anti-Counterfeit Solutions of the Year for 2026, honoring the organization's leadership in providing actionable supply chain risk data and protection for manufacturers and distributors worldwide.
In its detailed feature, Semiconductor Review highlights how ERAI’s global intelligence network and relational databases empower companies to detect high-risk parts and suppliers in the supply chain — a capability that has become critical in an era of increasingly sophisticated counterfeit threats.
Founded in 1995 with a mission to safeguard the integrity of electronic component markets, ERAI has evolved into a trusted source of verified data and insights. The article notes that counterfeiting has grown from isolated incidents into a systemic industry challenge, with complex global supply chains heightening vulnerability. ERAI’s interconnected databases, which collect detailed reports from distributors, manufacturers, test labs, and agencies around the world, provide companies at all levels in the supply chain with actionable visibility into supplier behavior and part history.
ERAI’s approach goes beyond simple risk labeling: its global network of contributing members shares vetted intelligence, helping organizations make more confident sourcing decisions before production begins. The database includes real-world incidents, detailed part information, photographic evidence, and, where applicable, third-party test results — all key tools for combating counterfeit components.
The Semiconductor Review feature also highlights ERAI’s nonconformance photo library and its InterCEPT training programs, which equip manufacturing and quality assurance teams with the expertise to identify and mitigate counterfeit risks without disrupting operations.
