The fact that a direct integration of EDA tools into a PLM system (Product Lifecycle Management) is designed from the outset to meet the typical requirements for data management and work processes in electronics engineering makes the work much easier. All users confirm this, regardless of which ECAD and PLM system they use and in which environment – on-premise or in the cloud.

Time is money. One strategy for achieving market maturity of innovations faster and better is the digitised value chain. The basis of end-to-end processes for all departments is automated engineering data. A central multi-CAD product lifecycle management system offers enormous potential for saving time and money.

Clear competitive advantage: By integrating Altium Designer with Teamcenter, Fritz Faulhaber was able to speed up PCB design for their small and micro motors by up to 80%. This is despite the fact that electronic assemblies are becoming more complex as the number and variety of product functions increase.

Edge computing, modern programming languages, unlimited scalability: Clear trends in software development for 2022 can already be identified. The balance between functionality and an optimal user experience on the one hand and aspects of sustainability on the other remains the greatest challenge facing developers.

Women are still massively under-represented in technical and IT professions, despite the fact that these fields offer them great potential for development. Moreover, for years industrial companies have been desperately searching for skilled employees to optimise their performance. The STEM Spring Report alludes to over 300,000 vacancies. The aim of many initiatives, therefore, is to attract women to STEM professions.

Industrial companies are taking advantage of the potential offered by PLM (Product Lifecycle Management)-supported engineering processes. By means of mechatronic product development and product data provided to their entire supply chain, they realize the product variety expected by the market. At the same time, they manage to shorten the innovation cycles and to reduce costs. Especially in recent years, XPLM has therefore seen an exponential increase in demand for its intelligent CAD connectors for electrical and electronic engineering.

Investment strengthens XPLM as the world's leading independent provider of integration solutions proven thousandfold

XPLM Solution GmbH will be even more financially stable and thus more flexible in the future. Thanks to the investment by ARAS Corporation, XPLM, as an independent provider of system integration solutions, will be able to further develop and expand its globally unique portfolio even faster. The XPLM management emphasizes that XPLM will continue to act as an independent, autonomous company in order to protect the intellectual property of customers and partners and not to jeopardize the trusting relationships built up with them over the years.

Structured requirements management pays off. Studies prove that. This blog post outlines why this is the case using a robotics project. It shows that successful projects require a common understanding of the project. This means that the different requirements of the members of the interdisciplinary project team must be clearly formulated and reconciled. Closely interlinked with the development, they form the basis for successful projects.

With the use of SAP PLM and SAP ECTR in electronics development, KUKA wants to keep the component libraries of all ECAD environments in use up to date. Today, „Stored Procedures“ solve this special synchronization automatically.

The dynamic VUCA world demands more innovative strength from industry. This requires decisions to be made flexibly, but in a well-founded manner. Federal information systems such as XSPHERE Federation provide easy access to the required data. They eliminate information silos and thus increase value creation with higher process quality.

Agile product development helps industrial companies to increase the value of their solutions as well as their global competitiveness. The key to success lies in the close cooperation of interdisciplinary teams with their customers and in an incremental approach. An adaptable environment, characterised by flat hierarchies and a positive error culture, enables agile companies to bring successful innovations and services to the market faster.
