Component information management

For the electronic engineer developing a product, the ability to manage and quickly access corporate component information is critical to success. But geographically dispersed design teams often use separate component databases, which may be out of sync or out of date. This can cause mistakes during product development that go undetected until later in the design cycle, causing costly redesigns or quality problems. Component information can come from a variety of sources including corporate parts databases, manufacturers’ data books, and design systems.
