Key Capabilities
Centralize and Version Control Design Data
Store all your design files in a secure cloud repository with version control optimized for hardware development. Access the latest design versions from anywhere, track every change with a comprehensive history, and revert to previous iterations when needed. Enhance team collaboration with consistent file access while maintaining design integrity throughout product development.
Organize and Manage Project Requirements
Define, organize, and track specifications with a comprehensive requirements management system. Link requirements directly to design elements, test cases, and documentation for complete traceability throughout development. Verify compliance with requirements and identify issues early in the design process. Generate new requirements far faster, with the assistance of GenAI that’s built into the application.
Monitor Supply Chain Risks in Real-Time
Access live component data directly within your design environment. Identify and implement alternative components and proactively check your BOM for supply issues before they impact production schedules. Component intelligence empowers you to manage supply chain risk and make informed decisions based on availability, pricing, obsolescence schedules, and lead times from trusted suppliers.
Standardize Component Selection and Reuse
Maintain a centralized component library of approved parts, to ensure design consistency and reliability. Streamline component selection with curated parts that meet your quality standards. Reduce the risk of using obsolete, non-compliant, or fraudulent components. Enable efficient collaboration with consistent component data shared across all team members and projects.
ECAD-MCAD Collaboration with MCAD CoDesigner
Synchronize electronic and mechanical designs with bi-directional data transfer between domains. Engineers can work concurrently in their preferred environments without manual file exports. Altium 365 ensures mechanical and electrical engineers can detect and resolve integration issues before they become costly manufacturing problems.
Enterprise Data Protection for Secure Collaboration
Safeguard your intellectual property while enabling productive collaboration across teams and external partners. Implement IP whitelisting, multi-factor authentication, and granular access controls. Track all design activities with comprehensive audit logs. Share designs securely with manufacturers without exposing your entire product ecosystem.
