KLAGENFURT, AUSTRIA – CMS Electronics announced the expansion of its product portfolio with the establishment of a new subsidiary, PCBWhiz.

PCBWhiz utilizes an AI-assisted platform that provides instant quoting for prototype production. The software automatically analyzes specifications and extracts key technical parameters through its advanced algorithm. This enables immediate matching with the technical capabilities of production, as well as real-time checks on material availability and automated pricing of prototypes. Customers are presented with technical queries or alternative suggestions for components if material availability is insufficient, ensuring a seamless order process and timely initiation of production, and the price remains unchanged after the order is placed.

With the option to choose production locations in Europe or Asia (soon expanding to South America and Southeast Asia), PCBWhiz said it prioritizes data security and protection. All customer data generated through the platform is securely stored in Frankfurt, Germany, ensuring compliance with ISO27001 (Information Security Management System) and GDPR regulations.

"Our aim is to revolutionize prototype production through flexibility and applied technology/system in processing," said Director Markus Quendler. "Our platform empowers customers to perform Design for Manufacturability (DFM) checks on their PCBs and analyze the Bill of Materials (BOM) for material availability and lifecycle status online 24/7 before placing an order."

CMS Electronics said the establishment of the new subsidiary allows customers to benefit from the combined strengths of both companies and gain access to world-class prototyping solutions. The company said the move underscores its commitment to innovation and ensuring customers have access to the latest and most efficient technologies.
