How Altium 365 Helps
Mechanical and electrical teams waste time with manual file transfers and version conflicts
- Keep ECAD and MCAD software synchronized with automatic data exchange
Component availability and supply chain disruptions threaten production schedules
- Access comprehensive component data, obsolescence alerts, and lifecycle statuses
Prototyping and manufacturing handoff is slow and error-prone
- Share design data early and perform manufacturability checks to catch issues early
Sensitive design IP is vulnerable when sharing files with external partners
- Control access with granular permissions and encrypted cloud storage
Companies must maintain legacy design data for products with long lifecycles
- Track all design revisions and releases with built-in version control

Cut Design and Development Time
Altium 365 is a unified cloud platform that supports collaboration among your electrical and mechanical teams. By bringing together each engineering discipline in a single platform, teams can accelerate time-to-market. Real-time collaboration and integrated workflows save over 159 hours of designer time each year and reduce electronics design costs by $373,800 over three years.
Manage Updates to Legacy Data
Industrial systems can have long lifecycles requiring frequent updates as part of maintenance and obsolescence management. Altium 365’s Git-based version control system tracks all design updates over the entire lifetime of a product. Gain complete traceability for each design in a single cloud platform.
Reduce Component Sourcing Delays
Stay ahead of supply chain disruptions with real-time data on component availability and lifecycle status. Industrial electronics designers have the information they need to make informed decisions during the design phase, helping teams avoid obsolete or hard-to-source parts. Proactive supply chain management ensures a more resilient supply chain and prevents costly production delays.
Improve Data Security
Protect your sensitive design data with enterprise-grade encryption, role-based access controls, and IP whitelisting. Advanced access controls allow you to manage who can view and edit your designs. Your teams can share design data securely with external partners and manufacturers while keeping intellectual property fully protected.

How Altium 365 Streamlines Industrial Equipment Manufacturing
Collaborate easily with PCB manufacturers
Give PCB manufacturers secure, browser-based access to design files. Manufacturers can provide real-time feedback directly within the platform. Comments are attached to the design so issues can be addressed quickly in collaboration with engineers. Altium 365 reduces the risk of delays and respins while improving efficiency and accountability in industrial electronics manufacturing.
Optimize component sourcing with real-time data
Gain actionable supply chain intelligence with integrated access to real-time component data from Octopart, SiliconExpert, and Z2Data. Stay informed about availability, pricing, and lifecycle status to avoid sourcing obsolete or short-supply components. Industrial equipment manufacturers can make smarter component sourcing decisions to ensure projects remain on schedule and within budget.
Align electronic and mechanical design teams
Bridge the gap between your industrial PCB design and mechanical design teams with ECAD-MCAD co-design. Two-way data exchange keeps teams aligned and reduces the risk of design conflicts and errors. The Altium 365 MCAD CoDesigner application supports the real-time transfer of ECAD data to MCAD systems to reduce iteration time and ensure that all requirements are met before industrial electronics designs are sent to manufacturing.
Trace requirements across the development lifecycle
Link functional and compliance requirements directly to design data for comprehensive requirements traceability. Verify and track requirements while automatically generating an audit trail that captures every decision and change. Altium 365 Requirements & Systems Portal improves accountability, enhances team alignment, and streamlines preparation for audits and compliance checks.
Secure industrial electronics IP
Protect industrial electronics design data and assets with industry-leading digital security. From secure data transmission and encrypted storage to fine-grained access control and user management, Altium 365 supports feature-rich collaboration while ensuring all aspects of your intellectual property stay safe. Regular security reviews and updates provide ongoing defense against espionage and cyber threats.

Frequently Asked Questions
Mistakes and miscommunications are common when teams work in siloes with incompatible tools. They often lead to misinterpreted design intent, incorrect component selection, and unresolved production constraints.
Altium 365 reduces errors in industrial electronics manufacturing by providing real-time collaboration and feedback between design and manufacturing teams. Manufacturers can review and comment on design files directly within Altium 365. All feedback is linked to the design files and visible to designers and engineers. This minimizes miscommunication and helps resolve issues before production begins.
Yes, Altium 365 enables two-way data exchange between ECAD and MCAD tools. Mechanical teams can view, collaborate, and provide input on designs using their preferred software, including SolidWorks, Siemens NX, and Autodesk Inventor.
Yes, Altium 365 integrates with PLM systems such as Arena and Duro. Integrations enable the synchronization of product data, including components, component parameters, and part choices, with product lifecycle management software. PLM integration ensures data consistency, reduces manual entry errors, and enhances collaboration across engineering and operations teams.
Altium 365 supports remote design reviews by allowing team members to access and comment on design files from any location via a web browser. Participants can view, annotate, and provide feedback directly on the designs, effectively collaborating remotely without the need to install software locally.
