CELUS, announced the worldwide availability of its revolutionary AI assisted hardware design platform that empowers engineers with the ability to find the right components for their projects through smart algorithms and the use of machine learning and AI.
The CELUS Design Platform simplifies and accelerates the electronics design process by transforming technical requirements into schematic prototypes in less than an hour, radically accelerating the electronics design process. Developers and engineers can bring innovative electronics projects from concept to reality with unprecedented efficiency and precision while freeing component suppliers to focus on innovation and customer engagement.
Component suppliers that have their products featured on the CELUS Design Platform are now able to more easily connect with engineers and designers for faster market integration and broader reach. This connection is crucial for component suppliers in reaching the 80% of customers who may not be accessible through traditional channels. CELUS enhances the visibility of these components when they are identified as the preferred choice in various design projects.
With the complex nature of electronics manufacturing, there is a strong need for a more efficient design process that will provide a distinct advantage in a highly competitive market. The ability to find the right components for projects is both overwhelming and time consuming. To minimize the time it takes to identify these disparate pieces, the CELUS Design Platform streamlines the design process and provides real-time component recommendations that work.
Founded by a team of mechanical, electrical and aeronautical engineers and backed by an advisory board of top industry experts, CELUS is committed to transforming the $1.4 trillion component industry by revolutionizing the circuit board design market through its unique design automation process. Now, the company is expanding the reach of its field-proven, cloud-based CELUS Design Platform with the addition of U.S. headquarters based in Austin, Texas. CELUS also maintains offices in Germany and Portugal.
This global expansion is the latest step in helping organizations use engineering time more efficiently. With projects often comprised of anywhere from 200 to 1,000 individual components, CELUS’ engineering tool significantly simplifies the complexities of electronic design and accelerates time to market for new products. By balancing a project’s functional requirements with any electrical, environmental, mechanical or cost constraints, the CELUS Design Platform selects the ideal set of components while providing deliverables of architectural design, ECAD native schematics, bill of materials, footprints and project information summary.
“With more than 600 million components available to electronics designers, the task of identifying and selecting the ones right for any given project is at best a challenge,” said Tobias Pohl, co-founder and CEO of CELUS. “We developed the CELUS Design Platform to handle the heavy lifting and intricate details of product design to drive innovation and expand demand creation in a fraction of the time required of traditional approaches. We were told that such a system was impossible, but we did it and are now expanding its reach to end users and component suppliers around the world.”

Impact of the Altium-Ansys Partnership on PCB Design
09/05/2024 | Josh Moore, AltiumThere’s a saying in electronics hardware design: “There are two types of electronics designers: those who have signal integrity problems and those who will.” This adage emphasizes the inevitability of encountering and the need to address signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) issues.
Hidden Cost Drivers in PCB Design
09/05/2024 | Cherie Litson, CID+, Litson1 ConsultingI recently taught a CID+ course, and if you’ve ever taken a CID or CID+ course, you know that we discuss cost adders quite a bit. When I asked the class of 15 design engineers their ideas on the biggest cost adders, the first and strongest response: the project manager. Are you surprised by their answer? After over 40 years in the industry, I wasn’t. If you step back and look at the process of product development, you’ll see that many decisions that affect costs down the line really do take root with the project manager.
