Thalia Design Automation, a UK-based developer of migration tools for semiconductor designs, has announced a new partnership with Siemens Cre8Ventures Digital Twin Marketplace. This collaboration, which brings together Thalia's expertise in design tools and Siemens' digital twin technology, is set to revolutionize simulation and predictive maintenance in automotive designs.
By integrating Thalia's semiconductor design tools with Siemens' digital twin technology, the partnership aims to enable precise simulations and modeling of automotive components. This will allow Thalia to predict the behavior of customer semiconductor designs under various conditions, ensuring reliability and performance in automotive technologies.
The use of digital twins will not only facilitate rapid prototyping of new automotive technologies but also shorten development cycles and accelerate time to market. Furthermore, a strong focus on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, coupled with IP reuse automation, will enhance design processes and efficiency.
One of the key benefits of this collaboration is the enhanced sustainability of designs. By leveraging advanced simulation and predictive maintenance capabilities, companies can minimize waste and energy consumption, aligning with environmental goals and contributing to a more sustainable future.
The Thalia-Siemens partnership is also in line with the EU Chips Act, which aims to strengthen the semiconductor supply chain in Europe, reduce reliance on external sources, and enhance economic resilience. Thalia's Amalia platform, which analyzes, migrates, and optimizes existing IP for new technologies across various design domains, offers a powerful solution for IP houses, Tier 1 players, and foundries looking to diversify their product ranges quickly and cost-effectively.
