AI in PCB Design: What Works Today and How Reliable It Is

Every EDA vendor now markets AI, and it is hard to tell which features save time on a real board. Part 1 maps where AI sits in the PCB flow today and runs the AI features in Siemens Xpedition live on an edge AI board designed for this series.

This is Part 1 of 5 in the GSAS EDA Insights Series Webinars, PCB Design edition. Every session uses the same edge AI board, designed in Siemens Xpedition for the series, and includes a live demo.

What’s covered

• Where AI sits in the PCB flow today: part discovery, command prediction in layout, placement and routing assistance, and AI-driven manufacturing checks.
• A live run of the AI features in Xpedition on the series’ edge AI board.
• For each feature, what it did well and where the engineer still decides.

Who should attend

PCB and hardware design engineers, design leads and ECAD managers, and Altium or KiCad users looking at their next tool.

Session time

Ranjith Kumar Jadam, Technical Director and Solution Architect, presents with Sampath Radha Krishna and Bhavana Deevi, Field Application Engineers. All three are from GSAS.
