Component engineering

If you use the component engineering feature, PLM for Discrete can integrate with a third-party service provider. This is a service used to search components on the go and create a BOM for production.

Component engineering provides universal part search within the Silicon Expert Database and enables customers to stay informed about part changes and BOM changes.

The component engineering feature provides customers with these benefits:

• Identify components at risk and gain visibility into electronic component lifecycle status, multi-sourcing, available inventory, and predicted years to end of life.
• Keep company and product up to date with reporting requirements and data on which components are at risk for compliance issues. Stay compliant with up-to-date data for social, environmental, and political regulations.
• Find billions of electronics parts using partial part numbers or description searches. Avoid unplanned redesigns.
• Select the right part at the right time, manage component lifecycle and obsolescence risks, access lead time, pricing, and availability analysis in simple steps.
• View parametric data, packaging, regulatory compliance, obsolescence forecasts, component risks, datasheet histories, and inventory from authorized distributors.
• Identify non-compliant components with data for environmental and government legislation such as REACH, RoHS, WEEE, and conflict minerals.
• Gain up-to-date information on delays, shortages, and global market shifts to mitigate risks within your supply chain.
• Detect and avoid counterfeit parts.
