There is a growing demand for data management in electronics design,writes Frank Krmer,technical marketing director,EMEA Altium Europe
The last 12 months have seen a significant boost in our business and proven that,besides design tool capabilities,solutions for data management in electronics design are needed.
For some time now,we've been focusing on generating a unified design platform,with hardware,embedded hardware and software design closely linked within one design environment,while conventional tool chains tackle those disciplines as separate,disconnected applications.
This provides our users with an architecture that deploys a single model of the design data,which in turn builds the foundation for unique data management capabilities.
And here is why this is significant for electronic designers.
Independent market surveys show that leading electronic design companies that have formally implemented workflows around data management,ECAD/MCAD integration,PCB/FPGA co-design or design re-use gain significant competitive advantages.
