RS Obsolescence Manager is a free engineering resource specifically built to proactively manage component obsolescence risk across the RS range, providing alternative solutions to problem components.

Build Your Parts List

• Research products with access to millions of technical resources & build a parts list
• Access lifecycle status across 400K RS products

Manage your lifecycle risk

• Proactively monitor lifecycle of your parts list
• Use prediction technology to anticipate end-of-life issues

Select Your Alternatives

• Review & select solutions to problem components from 70million alternatives
• Alternatives suitably categorised to support finding the right solution

At launch we have 400K core and extended RS articles with lifecycle related data, with over 70m alternative products.

The lifecycle status is only available when logged in to DesignSpark.

It's dependent on us having the data available, whilst we have strong coverage of the RS range we'll be working hard over the next 6 months to increase the levels of coverage.

Currently we only have Obsolescence Manager available in English.

We have a support centre and community forum for Obsolescence Manager. This includes tutorials and support to ensure you get the best from Obsolescence Manager.

Within our community forums we have a Topic for Obsolescence Manager – New Feature Requests. Here you can register you request as well as vote on other user’s suggestions.
