Altium Agile Enterprise

0 reviews

Altium Agile Enterprise is an electronics product development platform for organizations that manage hardware design across multiple teams, sites, and product lines. It includes Altium Designer, a PCB design tool, and the Altium 365 platform for collaboration and data management. The product supports data continuity and interoperability by connecting ECAD, MCAD, and simulation data, and by integrating with business systems such as Jira, PLM, and ERP. It provides supply chain information, including component availability, pricing, lifecycle status, and risk, during component selection, and it maintains a governed bill of materials (BOM) for procurement. Sourcing features include centralized part, BOM, and category risk and spend insights, along with automated RFQ and award functionality. For governance, the product provides identity and access controls for internal teams, partners, and contractors, and supports multiple deployment models. Its version control automatically records changes from design through release to maintain an audit trail. Altium Agile Enterprise is used in industries such as aerospace and defense, automotive, medical device, consumer electronics, and industrial and energy systems.

Requirements Portal

0 reviews

Altium Systems and Requirements Portal is a browser-based software allowing engineers to collaboratively develop better complex hardware products, including rockets and satellites. It serves as a Single Source of Truth and allows engineers to store and collaborate along the engineering life-cycle, all the way from requirements, through detailed design up to verification and testing. Altium Systems and Requirements Portal reduces hardware development costs by >20%, by digitising non-CAD data, using browser-based collaboration and complementary integrations to common engineering tools. It supports interdisciplinary teams throughout the engineering lifecycle, from requirements management, through detailed design up to automatic verification. In short: it is Github for Hardware. Altium Systems and Requirements Portal is used by companies such as Airbus, ESA, Momentus, ispace, etc. and has been named in Forbes as one of Germany’s 100 most innovative Startups 2018, featured in Wired and Techcrunch and won multiple startup awards.

Powerful and intuitive for complex designs, though with occasional bugs

I use Altium Develop daily for hardware design, from schematics to routing and layout. I find it a very simple tool: I can create libraries, use those already created by Octopark or other tools, and bring them to complete and complex designs. It helps me with high-speed or high-complexity designs that would be more complicated with other tools or with fewer functionalities. I find the interface very comfortable and intuitive. I also value the constant updates to resolve bugs and that the support team focuses on solving them.

Powerful PCB Routing, Still the Best to Date!

With Altium Develop, I especially appreciate the rule engine and routing. I can define net classes and fine constraints for power currents, sensitive signals, and differential pairs. The DRC quickly flags errors before manufacturing, saving us from failed prototypes and back-and-forths with the manufacturer. I also find the 3D view handy for checking integration in the very tight enclosures of our bikes. The tool covers the entire flow, from schematic to manufacturing files, allowing us to produce reliable documentation. It's also a standard tool that our subcontractors and engineers we hire are already familiar with. The installation was quite simple and didn't block anything; it was done in about a day. Regarding integrations, the STEP export to our mechanical CAD works well for checking enclosures, and the Gerber, pick and place, and BOM outputs go directly to our subcontractors and purchasing. We also version projects and our libraries on Git without difficulty. An unexpected benefit: with well-set rules once and for all, we reuse the same constraints from one board to another, and a new designer immediately produces boards that comply with our standards.

Transparent Self-Serve Licensing, but Crashes and No Autosave Create Risk

The fact that I no longer need commercial support to get a license but can just purchase it myself. Feels like a much more transparent pricing then the previous/agile model where you have to negotiate to get a reasonable price. Commercial support was also not truthful, so I'm glad not to have to deal with that.
