ROCHESTER, NY – EMA Design Automation and Arena Solutions have combined Arena PLM with EMA's data management solution for Cadence OrCAD.
Components from the enterprise PLM system are available directly within the OrCAD Capture CIS design environment. Parts listed as obsolete in the PLM system can be identified and swapped out in an OrCAD design. OrCAD users can create zero touch BOMs, and BOMs are imported into Arena PLM for sharing.
“Many of our customers are using Arena PLM today,” said Manny Marcano, president and CEO of EMA. “By establishing this strategic alliance, our mutual customers can be assured their product lifecycle data and their work in progress engineering data are in sync and work together as a unified system.”
“Improving the integration between OrCAD and Arena helps companies design products with fewer iterations, saving time, avoiding errors, and eliminating manual entry,” said Steve Chalgren, vice president of product management and strategy at Arena. “This allows companies to bring products to market faster, reduce prototyping and scrap, and collaborate on product changes with strategic partners across the globe.”
