Siemens Digital Industries Software, a global leader in PCB electronic systems design, and CELUS, a pioneer in AI-powered electronic design automation solutions, have announced their collaboration to transform the PCB design landscape for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and independent engineers.
This collaboration combines Siemens’ PCB design expertise with CELUS‘ AI automation platform to create a user-friendly solution tailored to the real-world needs of engineers. The integration of the latter’ AI-driven automation with Siemens’ next-generation PCB design solution aims to deliver a fully integrated design environment that accelerates design processes, minimizes errors and brings innovative products to market faster and more efficiently.
Empowering engineers
Engineers and SMBs often face challenges such as tight budgets, limited resources, and the need to juggle multiple roles. Siemens EDA and the CELUS Design Platform are jointly addressing these pain points by simplifying complex PCB design tasks and reducing the time spent on repetitive processes through intelligent automation.
“Our mission is to enable innovation and make advanced design tools accessible to businesses of all sizes,” said AJ Incorvaia, senior vice president, Electronic Board Systems, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “Collaborating with CELUS allows us to combine our proven PCB design solutions with front-end, cutting-edge AI automation, providing engineers with the tools they need to innovate efficiently and compete effectively in today‘s fast-paced market.“
PCB design with AI automation
CELUS‘ AI-powered platform automates routine design tasks, such as schematic generation and component selection, allowing engineers to focus on creativity and complex problem-solving. The integration with Siemens’ EDA tools ensures a seamless and flexible design experience, offering a new AI-powered block-level design interface.
“We are extremely excited to work with Siemens to bring our AI-driven automation to a wider audience,“ said Tobias Pohl, CEO of CELUS. “This collaboration is about empowering engineers by simplifying their workflows, reducing errors and making advanced PCB design more accessible. Together, we‘re leveling the playing field for SMBs and independent engineers.“
Engineers and businesses interested in learning more about the collaboration and future solutions are invited to visit Siemens during Electronica 2024 in Munich from November 12–15, 2024. Engineers are invited to visit the Siemens EDA booth, Hall A3, Booth 561, where CELUS will host demo stations and deliver theatre presentations detailing how AI-driven automation can transform the PCB design process.
