Utilisez les modèles préexistants dans Altium 365 pour standardiser et définir les paramètres du projet, assurer la cohérence et accélérer le lancement du projet.

Gestion unifiée des composants

Union

Tous les composants peuvent être localisés directement dans l’interface Altium. Il n’est donc plus nécessaire de changer de contexte.

Validation automatique des données

Les modèles préconfigurés dans l’environnement Altium garantissent des livrables complets et sans erreur.

Principales fonctionnalités

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.

Does the cloud PLM connector require an Altium Agile Enterprise license?

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.

Does the cloud PLM connector support publishing variant outputs?

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.

Are deployment services included with the cloud PLM connector?

No, deployment services are available only with the Altium Agile Enterprise PLM Integration.

Does the cloud PLM connector have a Graphical User Interface (GUI)? If yes, how do you solve compatibility issues across different versions of Altium Designer?

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.

How do I manage part choices and alternative parts in cloud PLM and Altium, keeping the databases in sync?

We support Part Choices sync with cloud PLM. Please find more information here. However, the current integration does not support synchronization of alternative parts. We have this feature on our roadmap.

Does Altium include a component library that stores footprints, symbols, and pad stacks?

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.

How can I select what data is shown/hidden to our suppliers when releasing data onto the cloud PLM software?

These settings have to be configured on the PLM side. Altium provides data synchronization, but the PLM tool manages what is shown/hidden.
