Anticipating potential issues early in the design process is key to the Mentor/Siemens EDA �shift-left� PCB design methodology. The newly introduced and fully integrated Supply Chain application, empowers designers with component sourcing intelligence at the point of design, mitigating if not eliminating the risks of BOM rejection while releasing to manufacturing. Powered by SupplyFrame�s breakthrough Design-to-Source Intelligence (DSI) technology, the Supply Chain app brings real-time sourcing information to fingertips of designers, enabling quicker, more informed component decisions and more time for design innovation and optimization.
