Expedition Enterprise - Printed Circuit Board Software
Designing a product requires more than just a great PCB layout tool – you need tightly integrated PCB design software. Expedition Enterprise provides this high level of integration, enabling all team members to work collaboratively and more efficiently.
Advanced Technology
- Meets the needs of mid-sized to large electronics companies with complex PCB designs
- Eliminates the burden of managing multiple tools, with its common database and user interface
- Supports globally dispersed design teams with real-time collaboration
- Maintains data integrity - from concept to manufacturing
- Reduces design cycle time and manufacturing costs, while increasing productivity
Integration
As an Expedition Enterprise project evolves from concept to finished product, the database is always synchronized, notifying the engineer and designer of changes as they occur, eliminating unnecessary and costly design iterations.
Expedition Enterprise is integrated with DMS™ (Data Management System) and CES (Constraint Editing System), providing a central infrastructure for component libraries, design data versioning and management, design reuse, where used, entry and management of high speed and manufacturing rules, and integration with corporate PLM systems.
Once the design is complete, integration with manufacturing output tools ensures that the integrity of the design is maintained, even when your teams are globally dispersed.
Products
- Expedition PCB Expedition PCB's revolutionary printed circuit board layout software tools combine automatic routing and interactive design into a single PCB editing environment. Routing tasks can be completed interactively or automatically, while always adhering to the same set of design rules.
- Constraint Editor System The Constraint Editor System (CES) provides a fully integrated, constraint-driven design methodology that reduces design costs and time-to-market by automating the communication of design rules and eliminating unnecessary PCB prototypes and re-spins.
- Data Management System Data Management Systems (DMS) is a bridge between the design chain and extended enterprise for optimal design and resource management.
