Siemens Digital Industries Software today announced that it is integrating the Supplyframe Design-to-Source Intelligence platform with its Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of software and services to bring robust real-time supply chain intelligence to the world's most comprehensive digital twin technology.

Starting with the incorporation of the Supplyframe Design-to-Source Intelligence platform with Siemens' Xpedition software for electronic systems design, the fully integrated solution, available now, facilitates supply chain resilience by providing real-time visibility into global component availability, demand, cost, compliance, and associated parametric data at the point of the design.

Combining Siemens' market leadership in printed circuit board (PCB) design and analysis technologies with Supplyframe's deep market intelligence, the new solution can help customers reduce costs, increase agility, and make better, more highly informed component decisions at the point of the design. By synchronizing data from the product lifecycle management (PLM) and electronics computer-aided design (ECAD) domains, solution engineering organizations streamline the selection, creation, and management of components during electronic systems design.

"This new solution is a game changer for our OEM customers, who have faced extraordinary challenges in recent years due to a complicated set of dynamic market forces," said AJ Incorvaia, senior vice president of Electronic Board Systems at Siemens Digital Industries Software. "Global supply chains have become increasingly unpredictable due to unprecedented geopolitical developments, globally distributed organizations and suppliers, and ever-growing pressure to develop highly complex new products and bring them to market quickly. By leveraging the industry-leading capabilities of Supplyframe's Design-to-Source Intelligence platform together with Siemens' industry-leading Xpedition software for electronic systems design, we are equipping our customers with the tools and technologies to compete and thrive in the face of these challenges."

Siemens has introduced an integrated offering that provides engineering organizations with a range of powerful features and applications for developing advanced PCB designs. These include easy access to comprehensive component intelligence on over 600 million manufacturer part numbers, enabling engineers to make informed decisions and tradeoffs at the most cost-effective stage. The solution also eliminates the need for manual data entry and library maintenance tasks, while offering detailed part comparison views, "what-if" part selection analysis, and digitally managed workflows. Additionally, seamless and real-time part-level audits enable streamlined risk assessments during the design capture process. This integrated solution from Siemens empowers engineering teams to optimize their PCB designs with greater efficiency and accuracy.

"To remain competitive in today's dynamic global business landscape, organizations must be able to quickly adapt their design and sourcing strategies to keep pace with the rapid evolution of the industry," said Steve Flagg, Founder, and CEO, of Supplyframe, a Siemens business. "The addition of this offering extends Siemens' supply chain resilience leadership. The Siemens Xcelerator portfolio enables robust collaboration across engineering, NPI management, and sourcing teams while providing built-in resilience and decision support for all stakeholders within the modern digital enterprise."

Siemens' Xpedition software is the industry's most innovative solution for the design and development of PCBs and electronic systems. It delivers a comprehensive portfolio of best-in-class solutions for engineering, design, analysis, manufacturing, and data management. The Xpedition solution delivers a PCB design flow that spans from system design definition, electronics design, electro-mechanical co-design, analysis, and verification, all the way to PCB manufacturing. Its unique, patented technologies can help reduce design cycles by 50 percent or more while significantly improving overall quality and resource management.
