Accelerate, simplify and improve the handoff process from design to production.
PCBflow gives each person involved in the process access to the tools and data they need to perform their role effectively. It streamlines collaboration between design and manufacturing.
BENEFITS AND FEATURES
Fast & Easy
PCB DFM analysis in two simple steps.
• Smart, self-explanatory and interactive – DFM report includes filtering, statistics, summary tables and error grouping.
• Design for assembly (DFA) for manufacturer-specific BOM validation and identification of component placement and manufacturing violations.
Users who lack access to ODB++ or IPC2581 can now easily upload their designs in Gerber 274x format.
Smart, Self-Explanatory & Interactive
DFM report includes filtering, statistics, summary tables and error grouping.
• Easy zooming and navigation through all board layers, as well as interactive viewing of DFM results, powered by Valor Parts Library.
• Easy, secure, in-app collaboration and
downloadable PDF report.
• Powered by the Valor NPI engine, an industry standard for DFM analysis.
Quick Pricing powered by Boardera
PCB designers can use the QuickPrice function powered by our partner Boardera to receive instant, accurate price estimates within PCBflow for the manufacturing and assembly of their projects.
Manufacturers can easily become qualified QuickPrice providers in PCBflow, and receive notification each time a price estimate is requested.
Connect, Network & Get-to-market faster
Save time and costs, designed to accelerate, simplify and improve the handoff process from design to production. Designers and manufacturers can connect to share and collaborate on the platform, and instantly deliver designs to production.
BOM Sourcing & Pricing
PCBflow instantly shows updated cost and availability information for the components in a Bill of Materials (BOM), using the BOM Pricing and Sourcing tool.
Strict Security Standards
ISO Certified. Secure, cloud-based, collaborative environment with no IT investment. Siemens takes information security seriously for the management of cloud environments and product offerings.
HERE'S WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US
Pavel Yankovich, Sintecs
PCBflow directly connects PCB designers with manufacturers and assemblers. Checking for compliance with the technological requirements of the definite manufacturer or assembler allows for preventing the occurrence of potential problems before placing an order and adjusting the project. A simple and intuitive interface with an utterly easy workflow helps to start using PCBflow with no time losses.
Mauro Sandri, CEO and Sales & Marketing Director, Elco
PCBflow is a software which releases a bottleneck in the production flow, it decreases the repeated interaction between the designer and the producer and ensures that the design is actually manufacturable.
Peter Fruehauf, Project Manager, Siemens CT
Especially designers in small and medium businesses should run a DFM analysis as well, because otherwise they would make PCB designs, which are actually not manufacturable.
Tamir Hazan, Owner, Speed – Board Electronics Ltd.
For PCB designers, project sharing is very important. Designers and manufacturers should be able to work with OES. PCBflow allows that.
Evgeny Makhline, Nistec CTO
With PCBflow, manufacturers can prevent losses related to false production, reduce repairs by 80% and free up to ~600 engineering and quality hours per year – hours that can be invested in innovation and improvement
Martin Franke, Business Development Electronics, Siemens CT
A manual check always includes the risk of overlooking things. But, using this tool, you have an automatic iteration between the PCB fabricator on one hand and the designer on the other hand. The report hepls us to improve the process in two ways: first of all, time, but also quality.
