Virtual and Intelligent PCB Fabrication and Assembly Documentation

Aug 16, 2018 | Columns, Feature, Industry 4.0, PCB, Smart Factory, Software

Virtual machines today are used as a replacement for physical laptops or desktops to emulate computer systems for design and verification. For printed circuit board (PCB) design and manufacturing, some fabrication and assembly information such as artwork, drill, netlist, test, and component placement has been conveyed virtually to manufacturing for over 30 years. So how about articulating critical fabrication and assembly notes and drawings in an intelligent, electronic (a virtual) format?
