Advanced Arena PLM Connector

Access the information you need from Arena PLM directly within your OrCAD environment. Native integration accelerates the design process and mitigates risk by connecting product development environments.

Automatically generate an Arena PLM part number and status to new parts introduced in the PCB design. This ensures part qualification occurs upfront during the new part introduction process, keeping part procurement and production on-schedule.

Eliminate manual BOM modification and automatically output a fully formatted, complete BOM containing the information needed for part procurement and manufacturing directly from OrCAD. Efficiently communicate this data and trigger the next steps in the design process with a single-click upload to Arena PLM and centralized stakeholder access.

Empower engineering to make intelligent design decisions upfront with access to critical business-level component data directly inside OrCAD. In addition to electrical requirements, the Advanced Arena PLM Integration let’s designers consider real-time lifecycle, stock, and pricing information to reduce late-stage design changes and guarantee timely part procurement.

Easily identify the effect of part changes across various products without leaving the OrCAD environment. This allows engineers to synchronize their approved manufacturer/vendor lists, locate and replace obsolete components, and guarantee only approved and available parts are used within their designs.
