Assembly in Action: Software Helps Firm Streamline its Design Phase
Micro Technology implemented ChipData's software to automate schematic symbol creation.
Micro Technology Services Inc. (Richardson, TX) is a contract engineering and manufacturing firm specializing in consumer and military electronic equipment. Its clients produce sophisticated electronics made up of high-pin-count devices, each of which requires a schematic symbol. These symbols are a fundamental element of the product design file, affecting everything from board fabrication to test generation. Engineers often spent days entering and manually verifying supplier data for each pin in a device. This labor-intensive process often resulted in design rework and board refabrication, slowing project completion considerably. The company's engineering team juggles several clients and projects simultaneously and was looking to automate the process of creating schematic symbols.
