Electronics, Batteries & Semiconductors
Industry Challenges
The global marketplace is constantly evolving, and in no other sector is this more true than in the Electronics, Batteries & Semiconductors industry. Thanks to a consumer market driven by the latest innovation, new technology is becoming available at an increasingly rapid rate. In order to remain competitive, companies that design and manufacture electronics, batteries and semiconductors must be able to manage product complexity, innovate quickly and deliver high-quality products to market ahead of the rest. As a result, industry leaders are increasingly investing in digital technologies to help them manage product complexity, facilitate product development, minimize environmental impact, ensure regulatory compliance and better manage the entire product lifecycle from beginning to end.
- High production volume
- High product complexity
- Supply chain fluctuations & disruptions
- Highly competitive marketplace
- Strict industry, environmental & energy regulations
- High product maintenance costs
Our Industry Solutions
1. Product Design Automation
Electronics, semiconductors and batteries must meet strict guidelines for their intended operating environments as well as for manufacturability, and in a number of industries products have to meet a set of complicated regulatory standards. Digital platforms that support integration across design processes and disciplines – including mechanical, electronic, electrical and software-related – are critical to optimize resources and reduce development time and costs. Our solutions for product design automation, model-based systems engineering, design analysis and simulation, and digital prototype-driven verification are key to creating next-generation electronics.
- Model-Based Product Definition
- Model-Based Systems Engineering
- Product Design & Drawing Automation
- Product Simulation & Analysis (Structural, Thermal, CFD, Battery Chemistry, etc.)
- Product Test Correlation Automation
- Product Configuration Management
- Computer-Aided Design (CAD) Software Configuration
2. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)
The complex nature of electronics manufacturing makes the effective management of product design, configuration, engineering, manufacturing and quality data critical to success. Our Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions enable electronics producers to define, consolidate, standardize, revise, access and share product and process data across the enterprise and from within one central database. An integrated PLM system approach enables users to collaborate on all product data including specifications, intellectual property, validation and verification information. The result is an environment powered by a single source of truth that enables teams to get the product right the first time.
- Consolidated Product Lifecycle Data Management
- Engineering Bill of Materials (eBOM) Management
- Manufacturing Bill of Materials (mBOM) Management
- Manufacturing Bill of Process (BOP) Management
- Assembly/Manufacturing Process Planning
- Product & Quality Data Management
- Engineering Change Management
3. Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES)
Our team delivers Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) that enable companies to monitor and control all the activities, resources and work-in-progress on their factory floors during the execution of production. Designed to meet the requirements of the electronics sector, our MES solutions are able to address and manage the high volume and high precision needed throughout the electronics' production execution process. Based on direct connectivity to machines and production lines, our MES solutions synchronize supply chain planning, order scheduling, production execution, quality management, material management and manufacturing intelligence reporting processes to enable smart factory operations.
- Production Planning & Scheduling
- Manufacturing Order Management & Execution
- Real-Time Production Monitoring & Data Collection
- Quality Management & Statistical Process Control (SPC)
- Digital Work Instructions for Manufacturing/Assembly Execution
- Key Performance Indicator (KPI) Reporting
- PLM & Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Integration
4. Product Performance Management
To meet the demand for energy-efficient, environmentally-friendly products and overcome the risk of defective products leading to high warranty, repair and recall costs, electronics manufacturers must take advantage of the growing availability of device connectivity to monitor the performance and utilization of their products out in the real world. Our expertise applying Digital Twin, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Advanced Analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies ensures the integration of performance and usage data from consumer and industrial electronic devices back into the overall product development and manufacturing process. As a result, we provide the actionable data and insights needed to help electronics companies improve the availability and performance of their products.

- Product Maintenance Management
- Preventative Maintenance
- Predictive Maintenance
- Prescriptive Maintenance
- Business Intelligence
- Sales & Aftersales Management
5. Digital Supply Chain (Tracking & Tracing)
Keeping up with changing customer demands and the latest innovations requires supply chain efficiency and agility. It is also important to deliver on time without stockpiling inventory. Producing high-tech goods requires secure visibility across the supply chain, including the location and condition of both assets and components, to predict and respond to market changes while managing variable lead times from suppliers. We help bring end-to-end transparency to each product's extended value chain with our Digital Supply Chain (Tracking & Tracing) solutions, which serialize, monitor and verify products from raw material to end-of-life. Comprehensive, integrated data helps manage supply chain velocity and provides demand intelligence while protecting products, brand and consumers.
