August 6, 2025 | SiemensEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Siemens Digital Industries Software today announced the launch of the PartQuest™ Design Enablement portfolio, a new, connected digital environment for electronic component manufacturers looking to scale smarter, more personalized and persistent engagement with their customers and prospects.
Transforming traditional, fragmented support and content experiences, PartQuest Design Enablement delivers a persistent, data-driven environment that connects product discovery, interactive content, BOM intelligence, collaboration and digital support into one seamless journey. It empowers component manufacturers to turn every customer touchpoint into an opportunity for insight, enablement, and deeper engagement.
“PartQuest Design Enablement represents a strategic leap forward in how electronic component manufacturers build digital relationships with their customers,” said AJ Incorvaia, senior vice president, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “By unifying design content, supply intelligence, collaboration and real-time analytics, PartQuest Design Enablement gives manufacturers like Microchip a powerful way to drive both operational efficiency and customer satisfaction at scale.”
Siemens unveiled the new software flow during Microchip MASTERs 2025, where Microchip Technology’s Chief Operating Officer, Rich Simoncic, highlighted PartQuest Design Enablement’s relevance to the future of customer experience in the electronics industry.
“PartQuest Design Enablement represents a meaningful evolution in how we connect with and support the engineering community,” said Rich Simoncic, Chief Operating Officer of Microchip Technology. “Collaborating with Siemens on this initiative allows us to deliver a complete, intuitive customer experience that reflects how modern engineering teams operate. The collaboration demonstrates Microchip’s core strategy of delivering total system solutions by working closely with industry leaders to develop and improve embedded ecosystems.”
At the event, Siemens are showcasing how PartQuest Design Enablement streamlines the journey from idea to implementation, leveraging Siemens tools, intelligent block-based design from CELUS, and Microchip’s design assets, with working boards of a classic electronic memory game using Microchip components available as take-home giveaways for attendees.
PartQuest Design Enablement is available now through Siemens, marking a bold step forward in how component manufacturers can build scalable, connected customer ecosystems. With PartQuest Design Enablement, Siemens delivers a customer-centric solution that empowers electronic component manufacturers to drive engagement, insight and innovation across the full customer journey.

Advancing Electrolytic Copper Plating for AI-driven Package Substrates
08/05/2025 | Dirk Ruess and Mustafa Oezkoek, MKS’ AtotechThe rise of artificial intelligence (AI) applications has become a pivotal force driving growth in the server industry. Its challenging requirements for high-frequency and high-density computing are leading to an increasing demand for development of advanced manufacturing methods of package substrates with finer features, higher hole densities, and denser interconnects. These requirements are essential for modern multilayer board (MLB) designs, which play a critical role in AI hardware. However, these intricate designs introduce considerable manufacturing complexities.
Setting Design Constraints Effectively
07/31/2025 | Stephen V. Chavez, Siemens EDAPCB design requires controlling energy within the medium of a PCB. The manner in which we control the chaos of energy is by implementing and utilizing physical and electrical rules, known as constraints, along with a specific structure and material(s) that make up what is known as the foundation of the design. These rules govern everything within the PCB structure and generally fall into two camps: performance and manufacturability. Setting this foundation correctly is extremely important and the key to success.
