Electronics & Semiconductors

At Siemens we see a symbiotic relationship between Semiconductors and Electronics that drives growth and innovation for both markets: Semiconductors, with their embedded intelligence delivered in rapidly shrinking form factors, representing a rising percent of the value of Electronics systems. Meanwhile, new and innovative categories of smart, connected products and devices are revolutionizing the electronics space, driving strong demand and affinity for innovative designs and products that deliver optimal convenience and entirely new consumer experiences. Design and manufacture of today’s complex products and semiconductor devices requires seamless collaboration across multiple domains including electrical, electronic, mechanical, simulation, software and data management.

What is New Product Introduction (NPI) and How Does it Apply to PCBs?

February 02, 2022

The pace of PCB new product introductions has increased exponentially over the past few years – and with it the need for a proper NPI process. It’s not just that PCBs are used in more and more products across numerous industries; it’s also that more PCBs are needed in those products. For example, consider how many PCBs are used in even the lowest-end cars today versus how many were used years ago. As new-model cars become increasingly connected to online services, the need for PCBs will continue to grow.
