Thief River Falls, Minnesota, USA — March 12, 2010 —
Electronic components distributor Digi-Key
Corporation, recognized by design engineers as having the
industry's broadest selection of
electronic components available for immediate shipment, in
partnership with Transim Technology
and NXP
Semiconductors, today announced the launch of the NXP SimPort Design
Center incorporated with Digi-Key's industry leading e-commerce
platform.
This design simulation tool provides engineers with the
capability to create custom reference designs and immediately
verify and test their designs online using Transim's proprietary
WebSIM® technology. Once the designs are tested and
approved, the engineer can immediately purchase components using
Digi-Key's e-commerce tools.
Digi-Key's e-commerce tools enable the user to create a bill of
materials from a simulated design and view real-time pricing and
availability of parts for the design.
“Digi-Key is committed to providing innovative solutions
to our customers. The partnering of our e-commerce platform with
Transim and NXP embodies those goals,” said John Collins,
Digi-Key's chief information officer. “By utilizing web
services as an integration platform, we bring together the powerful
combination of Transim and NXP solutions with Digi-Key's
unparalleled breadth of product and leading edge technologies to
give the customer the most convenient, flexible experience
possible.”
Transim's Design Center combines engineering software, internet
and simulation technology to create a powerful simulated design
solution. The simulated design center is customized to meet
manufacturers' needs and features their products and technologies
in an easy-to-use web application. Transim engineers collaborate
with each manufacturer's design engineers to mimic the design
process as it occurs when conducted in real life.
“Digi-Key has a long history of embracing leading edge
technologies to provide their customers with the absolute best
service possible,” said Birgit Knorr, Transim's president and
CEO. “Integrating our innovative online engineering solutions
within Digi-Key's state-of-the-art website provides the customer
with a complete and intuitive experience from design support
through BOM management and order fulfillment.”
