Cloud PLM Connector
Streamline your product development.
Seamless bi-directional synchronization ensures unified part libraries,
traceable revisions, and automated release workflows across engineering and business teams.
Streamlined Design and Manufacturing
The bi-directional data exchange between Altium and your cloud PLM system ensures everyone can access the latest information, minimizes errors, and saves design teams significant time.
Efficient Project Setup
Utilize pre-existing templates in Altium to standardize & define project parameters, ensure consistency, and accelerate project kick-off.
Unified Part Management
All required components can be located directly within the familiar Altium interface, eliminating the need for context switching.
Automatic Data Release
Pre-configured templates within the Altium environment ensure complete and error-free manufacturing deliverables.
Key Capabilities
Duro PLM Connector
Unify your electronics development process with the Altium cloud PLM connector and Duro, a leading cloud-based Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system. This powerful connector ensures real-time data exchange between Altium and Duro, including schematics, PCB layouts, and Bills of Materials (BOMs). Duro PLM fosters collaboration across teams by providing a centralized platform for managing revisions, change orders, and project documentation. This translates to faster time-to-market, improved design quality, and reduced production costs.
Component Synchronization
Bi-directional data exchange automatically synchronizes parts, metadata, and released files, in both directions between Altium and your cloud PLM system.
Flexible Part Creation
With the flexibility to manage parts in either system, you can create new parts and part numbers with automatic updates reflected in both platforms for a unified library.
Centralized Part Library
Regardless of where a part was originally created, either the cloud PLM system or Altium, engineers can leverage a single search bar to locate all available components.
One-Click Manufacturing Handover
Publish all relevant project data to your cloud PLM system with a single click. Upon publishing data from Altium, a structured and accurate ECAD BOM is automatically generated within the PLM tool.

If you’re using a cloud PLM and only need out-of-the-box features, you only need the Altium Agile Teams subscription.
If your PLM is on-prem or requires customization, please contact our Altium Agile Enterprise team for deployment details and assistance.
Yes, the 'no variant' output is always published. PLM item numbers for variant outputs are assigned during the initial publish and can be added as parameters in the Variant Manager.
No, deployment services are available only with the Altium Agile Enterprise PLM Integration.
Yes, the integration includes a GUI. Compatibility issues shouldn’t be a concern because most operations are conducted through the web-based user interface on our end, and the processes are incorporated into Altium Designer.
Yes, Altium features a comprehensive component library that stores all relevant information, including footprints, symbols, and pad stacks. However, we currently do not support transferring this information to cloud PLM systems.
