In the face of increased demand for customized products, supply chain instability, tighter margins, and shorter development cycles, it is <strong>vital to identify errors and potential manufacturability problems<\/strong>, as well as the cost implications of <strong>design decisions in very early design stages<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As small and medium businesses become more prominent in the electronics industry, <strong>DFM has become both more important and more challenging<\/strong>. With today\u2019s globalized industry, PCB lifecycle processes are increasingly siloed among different teams, often in different geographic locations. Designers and manufacturers are recognizing the <strong>increased need to collaborate freely<\/strong>, <strong>quickly<\/strong> and <strong>securely<\/strong> and they are looking for the technology and tools to accomplish that collaboration. <strong>Cloud-based tools like PCBflow provide solutions<\/strong> to these challenges and are being adopted at an increasing rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcbflow.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PCBflow<\/a><\/strong>, already a leading solution for <strong>cloud-based DFM<\/strong>, has recently taken online collaboration a step further by integrating <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcbflow.com\/online-dfm-solution\/#lp-pom-Boardera\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Boardera\u2019s QuickPrice tool<\/a><\/strong>. Manufacturers can <strong>easily create a proprietary pricing model<\/strong> via the Boardera online platform, which will then <strong>qualify them as a QuickPrice provider in PCBflow<\/strong>. <strong>PCB designers can use QuickPrice from within PCBflow<\/strong>, to instantly see an accurate price estimate for the manufacturing and assembly of their design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the upcoming <strong>IPC APEX trade show and conference in San Diego<\/strong>, PCBflow Product Manager <strong>Susan Kayesar<\/strong> will be on hand at the <strong>Boardera booth #1910<\/strong>. Please come by to say hello and learn more about PCBflow or <strong><a href=\"mailto:info@pcbflow.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">book a meeting with Susan <\/a><\/strong>in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also invite you to attend the speaker session \u201c<strong>S20: FF3 \u2013 Artificial Intelligence for Manufacturing<\/strong>\u201d, on <strong>Wednesday, January 25 10:30AM-12:00<\/strong>, where Susan Kayesar will <strong>present original research<\/strong> about trends in cloud-based software for the electronics industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You can learn more about PCBflow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcbflow.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<br>Also, learn more about Boardera <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boardera.ca\/pcbquickprice?referrer=pcbflow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>San Diego, CA, USA, January 24-25, 2023 Over the past few years Design for Manufacturing (DFM) analysis has become a&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":86944,"featured_media":396,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spanish_translation":"","french_translation":"","german_translation":"","italian_translation":"","polish_translation":"","japanese_translation":"","chinese_translation":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[10,13,16],"tags":[1750,1862,65,1870,113,1883],"industry":[1006,1007,341],"product":[693],"coauthors":[1920],"class_list":["post-395","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","category-news","category-product-updates","tag-dfm","tag-electronics-manufacturing","tag-events","tag-online-dfm","tag-pcb-design","tag-pcb-manufacturing","industry-consumer-industrial-electronics","industry-electronic-manufacturing-services","industry-electronics-semiconductors","product-pcbflow"],"featured_image_url":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2023\/01\/Siemens_PCBflow_IPC_APEX_Li_Banners_1.0.3.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/electronic-systems-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/395","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/electronic-systems-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/electronic-systems-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/electronic-systems-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/86944"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/electronic-systems-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=395"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/electronic-systems-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/395\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10897,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/electronic-systems-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/395\/revisions\/10897"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/electronic-systems-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/396"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/electronic-systems-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/electronic-systems-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=395"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/electronic-systems-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=395"},{"taxonomy":"industry","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/electronic-systems-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/industry?post=395"},{"taxonomy":"product","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/electronic-systems-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?post=395"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/electronic-systems-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
