Focusing on a new approach to fully integrated MCAD-ECAD PLM workflows, both partners target companies with systems engineering requirements and complex mechatronic product development environments. The collaboration is based on Altium’s solutions for collaboration and ECAD design management and Aras’ suite of PLM innovations.
Jason Hingston, CTO, Altium, commented: “Team collaboration and ECAD design management are fundamental needs in today‘s electronic design environments. The partnership with Aras will provide design engineers and the teams in the broader organisation with a new level of integration in an ECAD/MCAD environment.”
“The development of next-gen products combining electronics and software is resulting in greater complexity during design and manufacturing,” said Peter Schroer, President, Aras. “Altium’s perspective on the need to bring together the electronic and mechanical design processes aligns with ours, providing us the opportunity to jointly build better PLM processes for today’s modern manufacturers.”
