Electronic design collaboration software

In today's connected world, you would expect companies to have overcome the long-standing collaboration challenges that electronics, mechanical and software architects and designers often face. But design teams typically work with different toolsets and vocabularies, making it difficult for them to exchange data and ideas seamlessly. The result is that most development teams still struggle, relying heavily on manual methods, such as emails and exchanging files, to overcome even the most straightforward tasks.

Our solutions focus on helping companies quickly bring more complex products to market by reducing design iterations through cross-domain collaboration to speed development—a common view into design data to increase visibility. By validating designs in the virtual domain instead of waiting for physical prototypes, product development teams can realize a more efficient, lower cost and much faster design flow.

Companies benefit from the versatility of product design solutions such as printed circuit board (PCB) design and electromechanical systems design with a shift-left approach to validate and verify the designs work as intended. Leveraging integrated tools with analysis and validation capabilities help ensure zero-spin products because issues are discovered much sooner in the design cycle. Ultimately, integrated design solutions reduce errors incurred by miscommunication of design intent, incorrect or out-of-sync revisions, lack of transparency and data duplication because they ensure design integrity with integrated validation, verification and design for manufacturing (DFM) capabilities.

Multi-domain design collaboration

The growing complexity of electronic systems and products drives the need for multi-domain design collaboration. Fragmented legacy systems and tools cannot keep up with the rapid pace of innovation. The best way to efficiently deal with complexity is with a solution that integrates all design and engineering domains.

Digitally integrated solutions that work to bridge multiple domains reduce manual intervention, foster collaboration, and improve transparency. The result is improved design cycle time with fewer re-spins between design and manufacturing. With increased design efficiency, engineers have more time to create innovative and disruptive products.

Product and process data management

The best product data management (PDM) strategy combines the design data of diverse applications and locations into a single, secure system, making it easy for everyone in your business to find and reuse data – CAD and non-CAD users. Instead of wasting valuable engineering time looking for data, you can focus on reusing and optimizing existing designs to lower costs and deliver more innovative products.

Cloud services with IoT and manufacturing connectivity incorporate domain architecture to provide enhanced data visibility and sharing. Via connection to the cloud, the collaboration between electronics, mechanical, simulation, and software design processes and tools is more efficient. It provides a robust collaborative environment for design teams throughout the extended enterprise. This approach breaks down the barriers to collaboration so design teams can "start integrated and stay integrated."
