AUSTIN, TX, May 8, 2025 – CELUS has announced the integration of CELUS Design Platform with the Cadence OrCAD X Platform, a PCB design software solution that meets the needs of modern-day designs.
The AI-powered CELUS Design Platform enables engineers to navigate and generate BOM and schematic creation for any electronics design. OrCAD X empowers engineers to then tackle PCB design challenges from there. With this integration, engineers will be equipped with a solution that combines CELUS’ AI-powered automation with the design capabilities of Cadence’s OrCAD X for faster, smarter and an intuitive hardware development.
Key benefits of the CELUS/OrCAD X integration include:
- AI-powered advice and design: With CELUS recommendations, engineers can find the best solutions and relevant component information, enhancing their design and decision-making processes while automating time-consuming tasks.
- User-Friendly Design Experience: The integration offers a streamlined design process. CELUS users can access their project library and integrate schematics and component footprints in OrCAD X, allowing them to begin laying out components.
- Accelerated Hardware Design Process – By automating critical stages of the design process and reducing manual intervention, engineers achieve faster prototyping, improved iteration cycles and accelerate time to market.
“This partnership represents a significant leap forward in hardware design automation,” said Tobias Pohl, CEO of CELUS. “By fusing the CELUS AI-assisted design platform with Cadence’s OrCAD X capabilities, we are able to empower engineering teams around the world with the ability to efficiently drive their hardware design smarter, faster, and with more freedom than ever before.”
The official launch of the CELUS–Cadence OrCAD X Platform integration will take place during CadenceLIVE Silicon Valley 2025 at the Santa Clara Convention Center on May 7th, 2025. Attendees will get an exclusive look at the integrated workflow and a live demo showcasing the synergy between the two platforms.
