We love a supply-chain-themed email! This comes to you straight after rAVe [TV] today, where Brad Hintze of Crestron joined to talk a little bit about what’s been going on between it and Aurora at the moment. If you’d like a refresher on that and to catch up on Crestron’s response to Aurora’s latest email, read here.

Scott Tiner writes about whether supply chain and inventory problems will change AV for good. Will we ever be able to catch up fully to where we were if so many parts aren’t being shipped right now? Read his column for more.

Enjoy the rest of your Wednesday, #AVtweeps!

COLUMNS

+ Crestron Responds to Aurora’s Latest Marketing Email [Steph Beckett]

You might remember the conversation that took #AVtweep LinkedIn by storm last month, all stemming from a marketing email from Aurora Multimedia. Crestron responded by issuing a cease-and-desist order. Aurora then sent out a second marketing email. Crestron responded Wednesday morning and EVP Global Marketing Brad Hintze joined the latest episode of rAVe [TV].

+ Will Supply Chain and Inventory Problems Change AV? [Scott Tiner]

What this thread got me thinking today, however, is about how companies are surviving this time period. From all the discussions I have with my peers, it feels like manufacturers are able to provide about 25% of what we would be getting prior to March 2020. Most troubling in my mind though is the catch-22 in which manufacturers find themselves. If a company is struggling to build its product because its supply chain is unstable, when will that ever catch up?
