PCB?Investigator as an Integrated Platform for End?to?End PCB Processes
PCB?Investigator brings together key tasks along the PCB process in a shared system environment. From data preparation and technical analysis to manufacturing and testing, the platform supports the consistent use of PCB data across teams, locations, and project phases.
Integrated PCB data flow from analysis to manufacturing in a single system environment(firmenpresse) - The development and manufacturing of electronic assemblies increasingly requires close coordination between a wide range of disciplines. Design, analysis, manufacturing preparation, production, and testing are becoming ever more interconnected. At the same time, data complexity continues to grow while project timelines become shorter. Against this backdrop, platform?based approaches are gaining importance within the electronics industry.
PCB?Investigator follows this approach by consolidating tasks across the entire PCB process into a single, shared system environment. The platform supports consistent handling and evaluation of PCB data from design through to manufacturing, eliminating the need to switch between isolated, standalone tools.
At the core of the platform is a unified data model capable of processing common industry exchange formats such as ODB++, IPC?2581, and various Gerber variants. This enables technical content to be analyzed, compared, and further processed without repeated data preparation or conversion, significantly facilitating collaboration between engineering, CAM, manufacturing, and quality teams.
Beyond data handling, the platform provides a broad range of analysis capabilities. These include design rule checks, design?for?manufacturing and design?for?test analyses, as well as the evaluation of automated optical inspection data. All analyses are based on the same underlying data model and can be applied both manually and through automation.
Another key focus is the automation of manufacturing and testing processes. Rule?based workflows support tasks such as PCB panelization, generation of machine?specific output data, and the standardized execution of recurring checks. This helps ensure reproducible processes and enables potential issues to be identified early.
PCB?Investigator also supports the analysis of physical effects. Thermal and electrical simulations make it possible to assess loads and interactions prior to manufacturing and incorporate these insights into engineering decisions. This is particularly relevant for dense layouts and demanding applications.
To support collaboration across organizational and geographical boundaries, the platform combines traditional desktop functionality with cloud?based capabilities. With PCBI 365, data can be shared and used transparently across internal teams as well as external manufacturing partners and service providers, without creating parallel data sets.
Thanks to open interfaces and extension mechanisms, PCB?Investigator can be adapted to existing processes and IT infrastructures. APIs, scripting, and integrations with ERP and MES environments allow flexible integration into individual manufacturing ecosystems. Direct data output to machines and test systems such as SMT lines, AOI, or ICT systems is also part of the platform concept.
With this approach, PCB?Investigator positions itself as an integrated working environment for companies seeking a holistic view of PCB processes and a structured use of technical data throughout all project phases.
