Cadence Design Systems stock: Cadence links design and procurement

On Tuesday, November 10, Cadence announced the OrCAD Xplore Design Platform, a new environment that brings component research, design, supply-chain intelligence and procurement together in OrCAD X Capture. The announcement was published by Business Wire.

One workflow for component decisions

OrCAD Xplore targets individual engineers and small design teams that often use separate tools and websites to research and source parts. Cadence says the platform combines manufacturer-verified models, reference designs, technical documentation, component intelligence and procurement in one workflow.

The platform is built on OrCAD X Capture and the Ultra Librarian ecosystem. Business Wire says users can access more than 16 million verified symbols, footprints and 3D models, while AI-powered natural-language interactions support component research, replacement searches and sourcing decisions.

Supply-chain data reaches design teams

OrCAD Xplore adds information on availability, pricing, lead times, lifecycle status, compliance, sourcing risks and qualified alternatives. An integrated DigiKey shopping cart connects component selection with bill-of-materials purchasing, giving Cadence a direct link between design activity and procurement.

Cadence says the connected workflow can reduce time spent on component research by up to 80 percent. The company also says users save an average of three hours per component by avoiding manual creation and verification of symbols and footprints.
