An integrated approach to electronic product development that combines mechanical, electronic, simulation, and software data within a framework that provides a collaborative environment enables organizations to move through the product design process quickly and efficiently.
The best way to avoid engineering change orders (ECOs) and corresponding delays and rework is to concurrently engineer with the latest information, data, and design. According to a recent Aberdeen Research survey, 35% of respondents will require multiple ECOs on new product designs to compensate for digital transformation failure. With so many product designs requiring changes, both electrical and mechanical design teams spend a lot of time on rework instead of innovating. By adopting a flexible, versatile approach, organizations can enable the best workflow for each task, reduce rework, avoid data translation, automate design tasks and validate designs faster.
