PCBflow – The PCB DFM online solution

PCBflow is a Software as a service (SaaS) solution that incorporates the strict security standards of Siemens software, reducing risks and protecting intellectual property (IP). Manufacturers can feel safe sharing their manufacturing constraints, and designers feel safe running PCB DFM analysis for their products. With PCBflow, both parties can be confident working together in a secure cloud environment.

PCBflow enables quick and secure connections between an OEM and EMS company or designers and their manufacturing partners.

Security is assured because the connection requires approval of both sides. Once a connection is established by the request’s recipient, PCBflow collaboration is enabled between the two parties. Manufacturers can upload and privately share their advanced manufacturing rules with their approved designer network.

Through PCBflow, designers and manufacturers can communicate directly and exactly how they need to for exchanging information for PCB DFM. By sharing data at an early stage, the design can be validated against the manufacturer’s specific constraints, accelerating the handoff process to manufacturing.

With manufacturing-specific capabilities built into PCBflow, designers can ensure manufacturability, saving time and decreasing callbacks to the manufacturers.
