Editor's Notes
- With many customer engagements, EMA has encountered inefficient and ineffective part and library management. These issues can be a detriment to the time to market or overall control of your companies product. These typical issues include…. [Next Animation] Inaccurate component and corporate data causing hours of hand editing BOM spreadsheets [Next Animation] Inefficient part request and approval processes resulting in accumulated redundant parts in the system [Next Animation] Endless ECO changes due to part issues [Next Animation] Multiple libraries containing duplicate or redundant CAD symbols [Next Animation] Incorrect PCB footprint gets linked to a schematic part because of a disconnect between CAD symbols and component data [Next Animation] Poor integration to corporate systems requiring the search of different data sources for part selection [Next Animation] Critical designs gaps and component part data visibility between national locations, global locations and contract manufacturers [Next Animation] Costly production delays because of re-spins due to inaccurate environment compliance information [Next Animation] Obsolete design parts or long design lead time because of incomplete lifecycle component information
- During our day to day use of our ECAD data we run into common issues such as Click - Where are my project’s schematic files? Click - Who is working on my design and should they? Click - What version or revision should I be working on? Click - What were the changes to the last revision and who made them? Click - How do I ensure my design is locked once I send to layout? Click- What projects are currently active across the entire design team and who is working on them? Click - How do you reliably answer these questions today?
- Click- In a typical PCB data management environment, data management occurs outside the CAD tools in emails, conference calls, meetings, notes and shared drives. Click- None of this valuable data is pushed back into the CAD environment for management and traceability Click - This can quickly become a management nightmare.
- Click- With OrCAD Engineering Data Management these issues now get eliminated! OrCAD EDM offers a comprehensive collaboration and management environment for Cadence OrCAD Capture. Click – With a fully integrated solution to OrCAD Capture, OrCAD EDM enables design teams to take advantage of the time-to-market benefits gained from team based design, while eliminating the challenges associated with managing data across the team. Click – It is a fully integrated project dashboard for concurrently managing multiple projects… Click – … and builds a fully traceable audit trail as an inherent part of the design process. Click – OrCAD EDM facilitates IP reuse through access into current and previous design projects along with Click - … enabling multiple engineer, team-based design and management of distributed design data.
- OrCAD EDM allows users to collaborate and manage in-process designs and data directly inside OrCAD Capture across multiple projects and design teams
- Also, OrCAD EDM builds a fully traceable audit trail as an inherent part of the design process Around the… Click- The name of the project Click- When downloaded or uploaded Click- The reason Click- Who invoked the action Click- Retrieval of a version
- Click - Project leads and users will be able to manage and track progress across all projects and users with a real-time updated dashboard, full revision history and quick project access inside OrCAD Capture Click - Also, able to control data access across projects like assigning projects to users, allowing users to add new projects, archive projects, and invite stakeholders and partners to collaborate in a “view-only” mode
- Click- OrCAD Capture uses a single file system per project which is great for portability but not for collaboration. Click- With OrCAD EDM, it will allow assigning individual pages to users, multiple page assignment, add pages, and recompile pages into a master Capture design file. Click- This gives the best of both worlds with portability and page-level management.
- Click- OrCAD Capture libraries are built similarly to schematic projects with one .OLB containing multiple symbols Click- Again great for portability…not so much for collaborative design Click- OrCAD EDM enables editing and version tracking of individual symbols within OLB files
- Admins and Project Leads can… Click- Easily assign pages to users with specific pages and a set of page numbers. Click- Control user rights on what can be edited and viewed. Click- Accessing previous revisions with rollback as required.
- Click- A full audit trail is maintained on who made changes, what changes did they make, when were those changes made and why. Click- Project Leaders can get a quick real-time snapshot of individual project status, all projects and the users tasks or progress. Click- All within a powerful design management cockpit.
- To summarize OrCAD Engineering Data Management benefits which includes Click - A purpose built solution specifically for collaborative schematic design and data management Click- … which is seamlessly integrated with OrCAD Capture schematic entry environment. Click- Also, allows for building a fully traceable audit trail as an inherent part of design process. Click- Provides a single dashboard view of all active OrCAD Capture design projects for users to review and access files. Click- Finally, keeps all team members, regardless of geographic location, updated on project status in real-time
