The portal helps to ensure visibility and awareness of functional requirements from concept to manufacturing, helping to improve cost, quality, and risk in the product development process.
The launch follows Altium’s acquisition of Valispace earlier this year. Valispace is a Systems and Requirements Engineering tool that brings together system design and requirements engineering with an AI-assisted and data-driven approach.
The electronics design process is disconnected and plagued by rework because the work of PCB design engineers is often disconnected from system requirements.
The Requirements & Systems Portal ensures that electrical teams can write, manage, and verify their requirements directly in the Altium 365 ecosystem, allowing team members from different disciplines to view requirements in the context of their designs.
When electrical engineers, electrical managers, systems architects and external stakeholders all have access to the same information, everyone on the team knows they are working with the latest values and up-to-date specifications.
The integration of the Requirements & Systems Portal into Altium 365 extends the platform’s capability as an end-to-end development platform and supports Altium’s goal of connecting everyone involved in the electronics development process.
“The Requirements & System Portal on Altium 365 supercharges innovation and accelerates time to market,” claimed Ananth Avva, VP and GM of Cloud Platform, Digital Industries, at Altium. “By bringing product-level context to the entire electronics design process, engineers can ensure requirements are met across applications like supply chain and simulation. This puts systems thinking at the forefront, empowering engineers to thrive in today’s competitive landscape and deliver world-class electronic products.”
