Transforming PCB Design: Embrace the Next Generation of Xpedition UX

In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, where artificial intelligence is reshaping industries, it’s only fitting that PCB design tools step up to the challenge. Enter the next generation of Xpedition User Experience (UX), where advanced intelligence meets intuitive design processes to revolutionize the way engineers create.

Imagine a tool that doesn’t just execute commands but learns how you work, tailoring itself to anticipate your needs. That’s the promise of the latest advancements in Xpedition UX—a tool designed not only to meet the demands of modern PCB design but also to keep pace with the world’s ever-accelerating technological progress.

Intelligent Design, Personalized for You

At the heart of this innovation lies the product seed model, a powerful feature that learns and adapts to your workflow. This model tracks the sequence of commands you use during the design process—be it placing components, routing nets, or naming connections. Over time, these actions are stored and ranked based on frequency of usage, creating a predictive command bar that suggests the next steps you’re likely to take.

All Siemens EDA Electronic Board Systems (EBS) products come with a seed model that supports multiple process flows, below is an illustration that shows an example of multiple-process modeling in Xpedition Layout.

Enhancing Collaboration and Productivity

This next-generation approach isn’t just about individual efficiency; it’s about empowering teams. By sharing the product seed model across a team, designers can standardize workflows and maintain consistency across projects. At the same time, each user benefits from a predictive model that aligns with their specific design style, striking the perfect balance between collaboration and personalization.

The Future of PCB Design is Here

The next generation of Xpedition UX isn’t just a tool—it’s a partner in design, adapting to the way you work and evolving alongside you. With features designed to anticipate your needs, enhance collaboration, and streamline the design process, it’s time to embrace a smarter, more intuitive approach to PCB design.

Are you ready to transform the way you design? The future of PCB design awaits.
