PCB Library: Part Management

Are you creating BOMs by hand in Excel? Do you consistently have part queries from your CEM/EMS, leading to delays in manufacturing and increasing costs? If the answer is yes, then chances are you don’t have a verified parts library.

A verified parts library, which contains a set of part properties, allows for automatic BOM generation and reduces time-consuming checking at the end of the design cycle. All of this reduces delays in manufacturing.

Unfortunately, creating and managing a parts library is time-consuming and, due to project pressures, is generally neglected. The task often falls to team members who aren’t skilled in this area and easily-made mistakes arise.

The benefits of using a PCB Library expert

Using a PCB Library expert, such as QuantumCAD, means you’ll avoid the pitfalls mentioned above and the stress goes along with it. Here’s how we help our clients by managing their PCB parts library: 

• Avoid product failures. Current research shows that design iterations cost an average of $28K. Make sure your product doesn't fail because of a simple component model error. 

• Speed up design flow, bill of material, part sourcing and verification. All library parts contain verified parameters, schematic symbols, IPC7351A footprints and 3D models.
• Reduce time and costs associated with managing parts/duplicate parts that add to the cost of inventory. This often happens in the checking process during the design and prototype stages, as well as during production purchasing and inventory management.

Why QuantumCad?

Over the past 25 years, we’ve developed a tried and tested approach to PCB Design Services and PCB Library Management. We believe that this thorough and seamless approach is what has enabled us to work with leading global businesses, such as Siemens and Land Rover. 

If you decide to use QuantumCAD for your PCB Library Management, we’ll get you up and running quickly and efficiently. Our technology and processes enable us to create qualified library elements. And because we do this day in, day out, it’s likely we’ll have the parts, schematic symbol, or footprint you need. 

With our ISO-accredited process, we’ll continue to manage your PCBs with expertise. You can be confident that your parts library is in good hands, from start to finish.
