“First-Time Right” PCB Design - Altair Solutions Accelerate Tailored Electronic Design at Psicontrol

Using Altair’s solutions, Psicontrol nearly halved the development time of a complex HMI product and achieved their goal of creating a first-time right design for their customers. Ensuring the flawless functionality of the control unit’s processor and memory, Altair’s tools helped the company test and validate the new system before any prototype was built. With Altair Feko, Psicontrol can now test several antenna types and positions for a product early in the design cycle. This helps the company reduce costly, time-consuming prototype iterations by selecting the best design variant at the start of the project. And with Altair PollEx, Psicontrol can confidently and accurately design high-speed interfaces. Altair’s solutions enabled Psicontrol to perform a full-system analysis, which integrated mechanical, thermal, electromagnetic, and embedded code in one design flow. As a result, the entire PCB development process from first design to component assembly took Psicontrol just 6 weeks, rather than the typical 10.
