Multiple design files and revisions
Schematics, layouts, BOMs and outputs multiply with every iteration — and so does confusion.
PCB Design Data Management
Keep Every PCB Project Under Control
EDM helps engineering teams manage PCB design data, revisions, libraries and manufacturing releases from one secure, collaborative environment.
Native integration with the OrCAD environment
The challenge
PCB projects become complicated quickly
EDM gives teams a controlled and transparent way to manage design data throughout the PCB development lifecycle.
Unclear ownership and conflicting changes
Without control, engineers overwrite each other's work and nobody knows which file is current.
Risky, manual release-to-manufacturing
Hand-assembled release packages invite errors that surface late and cost real money.
Why EDM
Controlled data. Confident teams. Accurate releases.
Work from one source of truth
Keep schematics, PCB files, BOMs, Gerbers, datasheets and supporting project files together.
Collaborate with confidence
Control check-in and check-out, reduce conflicts and ensure teams always work from the latest approved data.
Protect valuable IP
Use configurable roles and permissions to control access for engineers, managers, partners and reviewers.
Release designs accurately
Automatically generate and package the files required for manufacturing and downstream production.
Product overview
Everything your PCB team needs to manage design data
Full Version History
Track every change, compare revisions and roll back to previous versions when required.
PCB CAD-Aware Data Management
Understand the relationships between PCB design files so project data remains synchronised as the design evolves.
Centralised Project Files
Manage schematics, PCB files, BOMs, Gerbers, datasheets, PDFs and other project documents together.
Real-Time Project Dashboard
See project status, activity and ownership at a glance so managers and engineers stay aligned.
How it works
From first schematic to manufacturing release
- 01
Design
Engineers work natively in OrCAD with files checked out from EDM.
- 02
Check in
Changes are versioned automatically with full history and comments.
- 03
Review
Managers and reviewers approve revisions with role-based access.
- 04
Release
Manufacturing packages are generated and released accurately.
