Case Study: home2net achieves faster IoT PCB development with OrCAD

Meeting Board Space Constraints and Time-to-Market Targets with OrCAD PCB Design Tools

home2net is a German enterprise that creates secure smart cloud solutions for OEMs in IoT and Industry 4.0 applications. Facing the challenge of fitting dense electronics, multiple I/O interfaces, and high-voltage protection circuitry into a very limited Rail Mount 1 TE housing, home2net needed a flexible platform and faster development process. The company used OrCAD Capture CIS and OrCAD PCB Designer Professional to support its complex PCB and hierarchical schematic design needs.

With Cadence OrCAD solutions, home2net streamlined design-rule management, improved routing and layout efficiency, and standardized manufacturing output using OrCAD Productivity Toolbox. The result was a 30% faster development cycle, 15% cost savings, and the ability to meet stringent time-to-market targets. Home2net also benefited from OrCAD’s constraint manager and online DRCs, helping it manage dense, mixed-signal designs more effectively.
