Smart Manufacturing for Electronics

White Paper Overview

This white paper describes a transformative approach to electronics manufacturing: a completely digitized strategy that supports both printed circuit board (PCB) and mechanical design/manufacturing, uniting the entire product lifecycle – from idea and production to customers and back.

In a consumer climate that demands new products at an unprecedented rate, this novel approach can reduce time-to-market by up to 50 percent, shrinking development costs by as much as 25 percent and enabling industry-leading product quality.

This white paper explains:

• Smart manufacturing for electronics
• The advantages that smart manufacturing offers over conventional product development
• The specifics manners in which Siemens' new approach will enable industry enterprises and individual designers alike to radically rethink their production processes
