Business Objectives

Best-in-class organizations are obsessed with addressing the following:

Consolidate Disconnected Data Sources

Decrease Time To Market

Improve Quality and Compliance

33

Disconnected Data Sources

• Creating a Single Source of Truth for Electronic Product Creation

• Centralize ECAD Libraries and Promote Reuse

• Automated data storage and retrieval

Designers spend ~26% of their time correcting data integrity issues.

Best-in-class designers have cut that wasted time almost in half…this is largely a result of:

Objectives to Achieve Corporate Initiatives

Disconnected Data Sources

• External– Component Manufacturer Website– Component Distributors– Environmental Compliance

• Internal– PLM : AVL/AML, Compliance Status– ERP : Cost, Lead Time, Inventory– ECAD Models/Library Repository– Design Data Repository– MCAD Collaboration

55

Decreasing Time to Market

• Improve MCAD-ECAD Collaboration

• Intelligent part selection to avoid re-spins

• Zero Touch BOMs

53%

Product development’s top pressure is time to market.

53% cite limited time to develop PCBs as their #1 challenge

Why isn’t there more time to design?

Limited time to develop PCBs

Need to support collaboration across engineering disciplines

Manufacturing delays due to PCB design data inconsistencies

Need better predictability of design costs & progress

Quality and Compliance

• Integration to compliance data sources – internal and external

• Traceability at the component level

• Reduce ECAD components count

Best-in-class companies are seeing an increase in meeting Quality targets

And a decrease in the amount of time needed for PCB development

Quality and Manufacturing groups are now tasking the ECAD world with ‘compliance-aware design’ requirements

A SHIFT IS OCCURING…

Ecosystem Challenges in Electrical CAD Design

Summary

1. Too many new parts being introduced and delays in NPR

2. Disconnected data sources – part status, compliance, life cycle, purchasing

3. Collaboration and Data Exchange with Mechanical CAD

4. BOM generation and formatting requires manual intervention

5. Work in process design data management

Path to Business Objectives

Consolidate Disconnected Data Sources

• Single source of truth for your product configuration

Improve Quality and Compliance

• Integration of part obsolescence, time to EOL, compliance info

• Automated, controlled and easy to use new part introduction process

Decrease Time To Market

• Enabling Holistic Library and Product Creation - ECAD/MCAD and PLM/PDM

Windchill – Cadence ECAD Library Integrations

Windchill Gateway for Cadence® Allegro® Design Workbench (ADW)

• Synchronize Part attributes between Windchill and ADW– Create Windchill Part records in ADW– Create ADW Part records in Windchill

• Synchronized metadata exchange enables:– EE visibility into all part data from within ADW

• Sourcing, compliance, lead-time, availability - at their fingertips!– Accurate part data for BOM and/or Where-Used analysis across all Products and Projects

• Windchill “New Part Request” Workflow supports the

creation and library management of OEM components– New part creation process can begin either in ADW or Windchill
