Every successful electronic design that makes it to the manufacturing floor requires carefully selected parts that not only fit the design but, are functional, are durable and can last as long as the gadget is used. The different aspects of electronics parts are ever changing and it is very difficult for the designer to keep track of everything; prices changes every day, some components become obsolete, refashioning or redesign is a reality and much more. Therefore, an electronic parts Selection is an integral and necessary tool for the creation of electronics, right from design to manufacture.
The Ciiva database for electronics parts is the best because it provides designers with all the required information and analysis of components needed for the success of their designs during the design process. Information from all components parts manufacturers has been collected here to help the design and manufacture process easier, through the generation of an accurate and reliable bill of materials (BOM). You are able to select the correct parts from the outset and find any and all part in one place, information which has been compiled using strict industry parameters from reputable manufacturers.
The main features of this database are:
- It enables electronic designers to accurately forecast the lifespan of components and to guarantee the availability of the parts in the product’s lifecycle; this historical lifecycle data takes care of any changes in the design or future repairs and parts replacements for the products.
- You do not want create a design for which you will not find parts or will not afford the price. This database offers real-time pricing and availability of constituent parts; you are assured that the parts you want are available and are within your budget.
- The whole process is computerized and easy to use; with an autocomplete search you will sort through the database and are able to filter your searches to the exact parameters required.
- As every designer knows, the process of creating a product is continuous and there are many changes that come along the way to the original design; this database allows you to continuously refine your choices while designing.
- Create a reliable BOM through the real-time lifecycle analysis feature to ensure that your components will be available now and in future.
- Get pricing insights and advantage using volume pricing comparisons; a great feature for budgeting for the parts.
- Instead of struggling and wasting time to find alternative parts; the verified alternative part selections option already has information on verified alternatives.
- It automatically manages libraries for the organization to ensure the integrity of the design process and completeness and also allows you to automate parts library management through the cloud auto complete parametric data for each component.
- Visual confidence ratings feature ensures that the parts you use are complete and can be reviewed for any deficiencies and corrected accordingly.
- Link current design information with your parts library using parts data synchronization to easily organise and update your design process data.
With the above features, you should be able to effectively manage your design and manufacture process end to end. You will have a current and reliable BOM to handle the ever-changing parts supplies so that you are not faced with the prospect of dealing with obsolete components. Analyze each part you want to use for supplier, price, and availability so that your design is not barred along the way.
So, use this tool to select, validate and effectively manage your parts for the right design component during the entire design process and to take care of availability of parts in future.
