Siemens has agreed to acquire Sarokal Test Systems, a provider of test solutions for electronics components, such as integrated circuits.
Sarokal’s test solutions cover fronthaul networks that are comprised of links between the centralized radio controllers and the radio heads, or masts, at the “edge” of a cellular network.
Sarokal products are used by chipset vendors, fronthaul equipment manufacturers, and telecom operators to develop, test and verify their 4G and 5G network devices from the early design stages through implementation and field-testing.
Tony Hemmelgarn, president and CEO of Siemens PLM Software, says: “The planned acquisition of Sarokal reinforces our ongoing commitment to EDA [electronic design automation] and the IC [integration circuit] industry.

Fast, secure cloud access to advanced product development capabilities is creating opportunities for innovative smaller business to improve productivity with minimal IT overhead.
Generally speaking, experts say, the resurgence of aerospace innovation requires more comprehensive, sophisticated technology.
Specifically, they need digital solutions that can connect the enterprise across all its departments, employees and data. [Read more…] about BRM Aero uses Dassault Systèmes technology to more efficiently design its Bristell airplanes
Siemens is strengthening its digitalization offerings – in particular, its product lifecycle management platform – through a new acquisition.
Siemens has reached an agreement to acquire Solido Design Automation, a provider of machine learning-based variation-aware design and characterization software.
Siemens says the purchase will strengthen the integrated circuit design and verification technologies it already offers through Mentor, a previous acquisition. [Read more…] about Siemens acquires integrated circuit software developer Solido Design Automation to strengthen its digital offerings
Octopuz is officially partnering with SolidCAM, resulting in the “full integration” of the two companies’ products.
The companies say this allows users to “benefit from the power of a world-class CAM software in SolidCAM, and bring these advanced tool paths to the world of industrial robotics using Octopuz”.
As a result of the new partnership, Octopuz now has the ability to import toolpaths from SolidCAM directly into the software for robotic applications. [Read more…] about Octopuz partners with SolidCAM to make programming industrial robots easier
Many people have ideas, but actually producing something – sketch, prototype, then final product – from those ideas, and having it mass-manufactured, is a hugely complex, time-consuming and expensive process.
If that product is an electronic and semiconductor technology-based hardware-and-software product, which is increasingly in demand these days, then that’s an even higher level of complexity and stress.
This article tries to provide a starting point, or introduction, for those interested in industrial design or product development, and maybe have ideas for products and want to know how to start the process of getting them manufactured.
