Better Together: Arena PLM and SiliconExpert Deliver High-Speed Quality Data for Product Lifecycle Management
Arena, a PTC Business
Arena Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software brings product information, people, and processes together into a single enterprise platform to speed product design and development. Our Cloud PLM software is easy to use anytime and anywhere.
SiliconExpert API for Arena PLM
Arena PLM uses the SiliconExpert API to retrieve parts information to where it can be used to make strategic product decisions. Get up-to-date information on availability, risk, compliance and change notifications on the parts in your bill of materials.
Work in Your Native Environment
Arena uses SiliconExpert API services to bring up-to-date parts information into the native PLM interface. Users don't need to leave Arena to research the components in their bill of materials.
Be Armed with the Latest Information
SiliconExpert has a team of 400 electronics engineers that curate a database of over one billion parts. Supplier and manufacturer relationships that have been cultivated for more than 20 years are leveraged to to enhance the veracity of the information surrounding each component.
Save Time and Money
Researching parts information takes more time than a lot of people realize. Making sure that you have the correct information on a handful of components can take hours. It doesn't make sense to pull product team resources off revenue generating projects and outsourcing still takes time while lacking organizational expertise. Having the information brought into Arena PLM programmatically is the perfect solution.
