5 Keys to Bringing ECAD Into The Product Digital Thread

The role electronics and ECAD design flows play in product design has never been larger or more important. Electronics have become ubiquitous within almost all product sectors, and this is only expected to increase further as always-on, always connected, intelligent device requirements continue to grow.

Unfortunately, what has not changed as effectively is the ability for ECAD and electronics data to be leveraged and integrated into the larger product digital thread. This leaves a significant gap in needs versus current realities for electronics and upstream PLM/PDM teams.

Tech Clarity, a leading research firm focused on educating and enabling digital transformation across the enterprise, has taken an in-depth look at the current state of ECAD data management & integration and lays out 5 keys needed to modernize ECAD data flows.
