Siemens brings real-time supply chain intelligence to Siemens Xcelerator

Siemens Digital Industries Software 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 its 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 design.

Combining Siemens’ expertise in 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 design. By synchronising data from the product lifecycle management (PLM) and electronics computer aided design (ECAD) domains, the solution engineering organisations 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 organisations 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.”
