On September 18, 2026, VBTECH hosted a TechTalk themed “Design Automation and MCAD & ECAD Integration”, addressing core enterprise bottlenecks in electronic product development, including data synchronization, cross-functional collaboration, design verification, and manufacturing connectivity.

Through expert sessions, VBTECH introduced practical strategies to help businesses accelerate time-to-market, minimize unexpected costs, and optimize engineering resources.

Emerging Trends in the Semiconductor and Electronics Industry

Opening the event, Mr. Cao Van Lanh, Technical Director at VBTECH, highlighted the developmental shifts in the electronics and semiconductor sectors, emphasizing the operational bottlenecks caused by disconnected engineering teams during the design phase.

Overview of the Electronics and Semiconductor Industry

When cross-departmental data is fragmented, enterprises waste significant time on manual inspections, communication, and revision updates. Identifying flaws in later stages escalates redesign costs, delays schedules, and negatively impacts the product’s time-to-market.

Seamless PCB Design, Simulation, and Pre-Production Verification

Mr. Mai Xuan Thi, Application Engineer at VBTECH, introduced the comprehensive Siemens EDA ecosystem, supporting the entire PCB development lifecycle—from circuit design and multiphysics simulation to verification and manufacturing preparation.

• Xpedition & PADS Professional: Advanced platforms for schematic and PCB layout design.
• HyperLynx: Automated signal and power integrity (SI/PI) simulation directly within the design environment.
• Simcenter: Thermal analysis to resolve cooling and durability challenges in electronic assemblies.
• Valor: Bridges design data with the shop floor, digitizing and standardizing the Design for Manufacturing (DFM) process.

Optimizing PCB Design with Integrated Verification and Pre-Production Technologies

A core highlight was the “Shift-left” verification strategy – integrating simulation and DFM early in the R&D process. This proactive approach empowers engineers to detect and resolve conflicts upstream, drastically reducing late-stage design respins.

MCAD – ECAD Synchronization in Product Development

Expanding beyond PCB engineering, the discussion shifted to the critical integration between Mechanical (MCAD) and Electronic (ECAD) design domains.

Mr. Cao Van Lanh demonstrated how integrated design data is utilized across simulation, verification, and downstream manufacturing. Real-time data synchronization between engineering disciplines eliminates manual file transfers and optimizes Engineering Change Order (ECO) management.

Early design verification and simulation represent a vital trend for Vietnamese enterprises. Upstream verification minimizes late-stage alterations and ensures strict control over product development timelines.

Integrating Electro-Mechanical Design and Data Synchronization in Product Development

Beyond the technical presentations, the Q&A session provided a platform for attendees to directly consult VBTECH experts on specific electronic product development challenges.

The event concluded with a Lucky Draw for attendees:

• 1st Prize (JBL GO 4 Bluetooth Speaker): Mr. Tran Duc Hiep
• 2nd Prize (Logitech M650 Wireless Mouse): Mr. Tran Van Phong

The “Design Automation and MCAD-ECAD Integration” TechTalk delivered a comprehensive overview of the industry’s demand for synchronized electronic development workflows. It provided an in-depth look at Siemens’ ecosystem for PCB design, DFM verification, and electro-mechanical integration.
