AOI Analysis for PCB Designs: Catch Issues Early
Verify AOI inspectability before productionAutomated Optical Inspection (AOI) is only as good as the visibility of the board design. If the camera cannot see every relevant pin or solder joint,…
Hazard Analysis for PCB Short-Circuit Risk Detection
Catch short-circuit risks before they reach fabricationIn PCB design, the most dangerous issues are often not the obvious ones. Narrow clearances, exposed copper, uncoated drill holes, board-edge geometries, and contamination-sensitive…
BOM Expert for Accurate AVL and BOM Validation
Turn BOM data into a reliable engineering workflowIn PCB development, the bill of materials is more than a procurement document. If AVL and BOM data are incomplete, inconsistent, or not…
Precise Creepage Analysis in PCB Design – Why It Matters and How PCB‑Investigator Automates It
Once a PCB design exceeds 30 V, strict safety standards apply. Minimum distances must be maintained between conductive elements to prevent leakage currents and dielectric breakdown. Standards such as DIN EN…
