The full PCB workflow in one data environment
What if your entire PCB workflow from first layout to production and test lived in one single environment? That is the core idea behind PCB-Investigator. The EasyLogix platform connects design, analysis, manufacturing, and testing through one consistent data model.
For many electronics companies, the challenge is not the individual step. It is the handoff between systems. Data moves from ECAD to CAM, from analysis into production planning, and then into machine and inspection environments. Every transfer can introduce interpretation issues, version conflicts, or manual rework. The more complex the board, the more costly those gaps become.
From design review to direct machine output
PCB-Investigator is built to reduce that friction. It supports common data formats such as ODB++, IPC2581, and Gerber, helping teams preserve data integrity across the process. On top of that, it provides powerful capabilities for analysis, automation, and production preparation.
When design, manufacturing, and quality work from the same dataset, process transparency changes completely.
This is especially valuable for EMS and OEM organizations. Earlier error detection means fewer expensive iterations, less rework, and faster alignment between engineering, production, and quality teams. It also creates a more scalable foundation for recurring product families and high-mix manufacturing environments.
Key benefits in practice
- End-to-end coverage for design, analysis, production, and testing
- DFM, DFT, and DRC checks in one consistent environment
- Automation for panelization, checks, and machine outputs
- Digital twin technology for richer process transparency
- PCBI 365 for cloud and desktop collaboration
- Open APIs, scripting, and ERP integration for custom workflows
- Direct machine integration for SMT, AOI, ICT, and more
Integrated physics simulation is another important part of the platform. With PCBi-Physics, teams can evaluate thermal and electrical behavior before production, helping improve reliability and reduce project risk early in the development cycle.
The bottom line: PCB-Investigator is not just another tool in the chain. It is a central data platform that helps align engineering, manufacturing, and quality around one source of truth.
