Cut Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Hallucinations by 50%
Most teams hit the same wall with enterprise AI: LLMs that hallucinate, pipelines that don’t scale, and infrastructure that’s harder to design than the models themselves.
What Is Intelligent BOM Management? A Guide to Smarter Product Development
Learn how intelligent Bill of Materials (BOM) management helps teams collaborate, reduce errors, and bring innovative products to market faster with cloud-based PLM tools.
Siemens Digital Industries Software has released its new Capital X software as a service (SaaS), a cloud-enabled suite for engineering of electrical and electronic (E/E) systems.
Siemens’ Capital software is considered a solution for comprehensive E/E systems development, for engineering complex products such as cars, aircraft and machines. Now delivered in a SaaS model, operated by Siemens, Capital X delivers the same capabilities in an accessible, scalable, and flexible manner, the company reports.
Part of the Siemens Xcelerator as a Service portfolio of cloud-enabled industry software, Capital X has been designed for rapid deployment, according to the company.
“Delivering Capital as a service makes huge sense for both existing and new customers. We’re able to deliver the same industry leading E/E design capabilities with faster implementation, enhanced collaboration and industry standard security,” says Frances Evans, senior vice president, Lifecycle Collaboration Software, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “E/E systems development is growing in sophistication across all industries and with Capital X we’re able to deliver the tools that pioneers and leaders across many industries need with greater accessibility, flexibility and scalability when and wherever they need it.”
“Companies seeking to reduce time to market, minimize prototyping and testing costs, increase systems quality, and ultimately remain competitive in today’s rapidly evolving industry should adopt cloud-based SaaS solutions for E/E systems development.,” says Chad Jackson, CEO and chief analyst, Lifecycle Insights. “Siemens’ move to deliver Capital as a service aligns with these fundamental priorities, delivering what manufacturers need in an open, accessible and flexible manner.”
Siemens runs high-performance cloud environments, combined with cloud-specific services for customization, integration, and migration—all built on a secure environment that delivers managed updates, remote access, automated backup and data recovery.
