PLANO, TX – Siemens Digital Industries Software and Celus have announced a collaboration to accelerate the design process for small and medium-sized businesses and independent engineers.

Engineers and businesses often face challenges such as tight budgets, limited resources and the need to juggle multiple roles, and the combination of Siemens EDA and the Celus Design Platform will jointly address these pain points by simplifying complex PCB design tasks and reducing the time spent on repetitive processes through intelligent automation, the companies said.

“At Siemens EDA, 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."

The companies said 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, and the integration with Siemens’ EDA tools delivers a flexible design experience, offering a new AI-powered block-level design interface.

“This collaboration is about empowering engineers by simplifying their workflows, reducing errors and making advanced PCB design more accessible,” said Tobias Pohl, CEO, Celus.
