Next Generation Electronic Systems Design
As engineering organizations face increasing electronic systems design activity and intense competition, it is crucial to optimize the use of digital threads. These digital threads enable organizations to effectively manage design complexity and foster innovation across multiple domains. However, these organizations encounter resource constraints, talent shortages, data security vulnerabilities, and the need to collaborate effectively with partners and suppliers.
To address these challenges, Siemens has invested in a next-generation solution that redefines the user experience for PCB and systems design. This AI-infused solution offers streamlined onboarding, enhanced productivity, and a cloud-connected environment for seamless and secure collaboration. The goal is to eliminate complexity barriers, accelerate time-to-results, and deliver positive experiences for engineers and teams.
