memory Solutions for Electronics
The electronics field is constantly pushing technological boundaries. It is characterized by the constant emergence of new technologies, which requires original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and electronic manufacturing service (EMS) providers to adapt quickly in order to stay competitive. The rapid pace of change results in short product lifecycles, meaning manufacturers must develop, produce and market new products at an accelerated rate.
pSeven products provide a suite of workflow automation and design optimization tools in a collaborative environment, enabling high-tech and electronics businesses to address these challenges.
Adressing challenges
in the Electronics industry
The electronics industry is one of the most dynamic and innovation-driven sectors. However, it faces numerous challenges due to rapid technological advancements, increasing complexity and evolving market demands. Consumers and industries demand smaller, lighter, yet more powerful devices. High-power processors and power electronics generate excessive heat, which causes the need for advanced thermal management. Electronics contribute to 53 million tons of e-waste annually, thus the regulators demand energy-efficient and recyclable products. It all increases design complexity, requiring multi-physics simulations (electrical, thermal, mechanical), and emphasizes the shortage of skilled engineers.
Leveraging pSeven solutions helps electronics companies answer the most pressing engineering challenges and innovate continuously by automating engineering process, optimizing designs, and accelerating development cycles.

settings Use case
Multi-dimensional optimization of a loudspeaker
A loudspeaker that operates in the non-linear regime is optimized for multiple objective functions using DoE and Surrogate-Based Optimization technique of pSeven Desktop. The result was achieved in a couple of hours where it takes days for experienced engineers to achieve a similar result.
Speed up engineering processes and reduce errors
with workflow automation
Speeding up the engineering process in electronics is crucial for maintaining a competitive edge, reducing costs and keeping up with rapid technological advancements. Being the first to introduce a new product can determine market leadership, while delays in development can result in missed opportunities. Extended development cycles increase expenses related to labor, prototyping and testing.
Electronics design involves multiple domains - electrical, thermal, mechanical and electromagnetic, each requiring specialized CAE tools. pSeven products help streamlining simulation workflows in electronics by automating complex tasks and multidisciplinary analysis with process integration capabilities. Assembled workflows can be automated to run repetitive simulations with minimal user intervention, reused, shared and adapted for similar tasks or projects ensuring consistency and saving time.
Predict product behaviour
and accelerate simulations with fast ROM models
Predictive models (or ROMs) prove to be very useful as electronics systems grow more complex while development timelines shrink. Predictive modeling capabilities of pSeven solutions leverage historical data, real-time inputs and physics-based simulations to forecast system behavior, optimize designs, exchange models between partners while preserving IP rights and accelerate the computation of complex simulation models by many orders of magnitude.
