CELUS Drops BOM on Electronics Design Complexity
March 5, 2025 | BUSINESS WIREEstimated reading time: 1 minute
CELUS, developer of the leading AI-assisted electronics design platform used by developers and engineers globally, unveiled a new bill of materials (BOM) experience that better satisfies the needs of electronic engineers by helping them choose the right components for the early stages of their PCB design.
Rather than spend days, weeks or months manually researching, evaluating and downloading product specifications for an array of components, engineers can now leverage an updated BOM view in the CELUS Design Platform. Expanded access to new pricing, lifecycle and supply information simplifies and accelerates the design process with automated, AI-driven recommendations of millions of components. Engineers are better positioned to assess supply chain risks prior to beginning the procurement process, ensuring that components are available to be sourced from manufacturers.
The CELUS Design Platform automates component search and schematic generation, enabling quicker, more accurate designs and capturing all requirements. The CELUS Design Platform’s proprietary AI algorithms then analyze specs and capabilities of available components to offer guided suggestions. A detailed component view emphasizes where the components are used and provides a list of alternatives that are accessible by clicking on the manufacturer parts number or descriptor in the BOM.
By optimizing the BOM design experience with additional data provided by Accuris, CELUS extends its market leadership as the global hub for electronic components and complete solutions. With electronic devices typically containing from 200 to 1,000 individual components, using CELUS radically shortens the time it takes to bring new projects from concept to reality – and to market.
“The ability to find the right components for electronic design projects is both overwhelming and time consuming,” said Tobias Pohl, co-founder and CEO of CELUS. “For the visionaries who might not know where to start with turning their design into a reality or the engineers that have pricing or manufacturing preferences to consider, having a system that provides this insight for every component within a circuit is life changing. The CELUS Design Platform with its new supply and pricing data minimizes the time spent on electronics design by recommending real-time component options that simply work, freeing makers to focus on the value of their projects rather than working on menial tasks to get them there.”

The Key to First-pass Success in PCB Design
04/10/2025 | Gerry Partida, Summit InterconnectIn the dynamic world of PCB manufacturing, achieving first-pass success hinges on more than just cutting-edge equipment and skilled teams. At Summit Interconnect, we have seen countless successful launches of advanced HDI designs that can be traced directly to engagement between designers and fabricators early in the design phase. Unfortunately, collaboration in the PCB industry often begins only after problems arise—such as field failures, assembly fallout, or low fabrication yields. This reactive approach is the wrong starting point for collaboration.

The Shaughnessy Report: Always With the Negative Waves
04/09/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy -- Column: The Shaughnessy ReportWhen I started covering PCB design in the ‘90s, RF designers comprised a small percentage of the design community. Other than cellphones and handheld GPS devices, RF wasn’t seen very often outside of military, aerospace, and law enforcement applications. Now, RF is everywhere. Almost every electronic device in your house and pocket—your cellphone, tablet, laptop, smartwatch, and wireless/smart speaker—contains RF technology. The entire wearable segment is built on RF technology
