PLANO, TX, Mar 4, 2026 – Siemens said Inventec has adopted Siemens’ Valor NPI software and Process Preparation X solutions from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio. The tools support design-for-manufacturing (DFM) workflows and production preparation across Inventec’s server and notebook product lines. They help teams align product design with factory processes and support manufacturability checks, process planning, and production readiness.
Solving Manufacturing Issues Before Production
Inventec added Siemens’ Valor NPI to its development workflow to run automated DFM verification earlier in the design process. The system identifies manufacturing issues before production begins. The change reduced late-stage design revisions, improved first-pass yield, and reduce EQ from PCB and assembly partners by more than 50%.
“Our goal is to deliver cutting-edge server and notebook technology to our customers with speed and precision,” said Barry Chen, senior ECAD manager, Inventec Corporation. “With Siemens’ software, we’ve moved away from manual, document-based processes to a fully digitalized workflow. This has allowed us to identify and resolve potential manufacturing issues before production begins, accelerate time-to-market, reduce engineering change cycles and enhance collaboration between design and manufacturing teams.”
Fast Error-Free SMT Readiness
Inventec also implemented Siemens’ Process Preparation X to manage surface-mounted technology programming and digital work instruction generation. The platform provides a programming environment across multiple SMT systems and reduces manual data conversion. Virtual validation identifies polarity, offset, and placement errors before production. Inventec reported earlier detection of DFM and equipment-related issues before pilot runs and up to 50% faster SMT program preparation. The system also generates more than 20,000 production work instructions each year and improves process consistency across the company’s global manufacturing operations.
“Electronics manufacturers are under increasing pressure to deliver highly complex products faster, with uncompromised quality,” said AJ Incorvaia, senior vice president and general manager, electronic board systems, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “By adopting Siemens’ portfolio, Inventec has transformed its DFM operations to unlock new levels of operational excellence and gained significant productivity boosts to its SMT programming and work instruction generation workflow.”
