    BES4581 | From Design to Reality: How Avnet's AI Tools Are Making Better Engineering Decisions Earlier
    • Thursday, Sep 178:30 AM - 9:00 AM PDT

    Product development is evolving beyond traditional CAD workflows. Join Avnet and Autodesk to see how AI-powered engineering experiences are helping engineers move from concept to manufacturable products faster while making smarter decisions earlier in the design process. Learn how Avnet's component intelligence—including real-time pricing, availability, lifecycle data, alternate part recommendations, and engineering content—integrates directly into Autodesk Fusion. Discover how AI-assisted design workflows combined with supply chain insights enable teams to evaluate feasibility, manufacturability, and sourcing tradeoffs from the start. By connecting AI-driven design with real-world component and procurement intelligence, engineering teams can reduce redesigns, improve collaboration between engineering and sourcing, and accelerate the path from idea to production-ready products.

    Learning Objective 1: Learn how to make smarter design decisions earlier with real-time component insights.
    Learning Objective 2: Learn about ways to optimize BOMs using cost, availability, and lifecycle data.
    Learning Objective 3: Explore methods for identifying alternate parts and reducing supply chain risk.
    Learning Objective 4: Discover how integrated design and sourcing workflows can accelerate time to market.
