According to the company, rather than spend days, weeks or months manually researching, evaluating and downloading product specifications for an array of components, engineers can now leverage an updated BOM view in the CELUS Design Platform.
This expanded access to new pricing, lifecycle and supply information will help to simplify and accelerate the design process with automated, AI-driven recommendations of millions of components.
Consequently, engineers will be better positioned to assess supply chain risks prior to beginning the procurement process, ensuring that components are available to be sourced from manufacturers.
The CELUS Design Platform automates component search and schematic generation, enabling quicker, more accurate designs and capturing all requirements. The platform’s proprietary AI algorithms then analyse specs and capabilities of available components to offer guided suggestions. A detailed component view emphasises where the components are used and provides a list of alternatives that are accessible by clicking on the manufacturer parts number or descriptor in the BOM.
With electronic devices typically containing from 200 to 1,000 individual components, using CELUS will help to radically shorten the time it takes to bring new projects from concept to reality – and to market.
“The ability to find the right components for electronic design projects is both overwhelming and time consuming,” said Tobias Pohl, co-founder and CEO of CELUS. “For the visionaries who might not know where to start with turning their design into a reality or the engineers that have pricing or manufacturing preferences to consider, having a system that provides this insight for every component within a circuit is life changing.
“The CELUS Design Platform with its new supply and pricing data minimises the time spent on electronics design by recommending real-time component options that simply work, freeing makers to focus on the value of their projects rather than working on menial tasks to get them there.”
