See PCB test coverage in secondsHow much of your PCB is actually covered by test? The Test Coverage Report in PCB-Investigator answers that question fast, visually, and based on real…
Turn component data into usable documentationIn PCB development, it is not enough to create a working layout. Teams also need documentation that is structured, easy to review, and immediately useful…
Why manual PCB comparison slows down reviewsIn PCB development, design comparisons often become a bottleneck. When revisions, variants, or layout updates are checked manually, the process takes time and the…
Panelization should not be the bottleneckPCB panel creation is one of those steps that can quietly consume a lot of engineering time. The Panel Builder plug-in in PCB-Investigator is built…
PCB manufacturing slows down where systems stop talking to each otherIn many production environments, the biggest delays are not caused by the machines themselves, but by the handoffs between tools,…
Why a design report matters in the PCB workflowIn many development projects, time is lost not in the PCB design itself, but in follow-up questions, incomplete documentation, and unclear handoffs…
See PCB test coverage gaps before they become production risksIn electronics manufacturing, the critical question is not only whether a board was tested, but how complete that test coverage really…
Detect tombstoning before it reaches the soldering lineThe tombstone effect is one of those manufacturing issues that can quietly turn into costly rework. Small SMT components such as resistors and…
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,…
