component selection. Better decision-making enhanced by component intelligence means fewer errors, delays, and the costs they add, leading to better business outcomes. The advantages that accrue to projects and organisations also accrue to the industry as a whole. For one, integrated design processes will make the whole production process far more effi cient, simplifying manufacturing and assembly and reducing errors, respins, and recalls industry-wide, another cost reduction opportunity. A faster innovation cycle will also be achieved, with integrated design helping products advance from concept stage to market at a speed more in line with consumer demand and business needs. When the tools for integrated design are more widely accessible, everyone from enterprises to smaller fi rms and startups will bring even more innovation to the market. And, as the need for environmental sustainability starts to loom over everything, the entire industry can adopt more effi cient, sustainable practices, with electronics that use fewer materials and less power, reducing negative environmental impacts. The need for a more connected, integrated approach to electronics development is compelling, which is why Altium and Renesas have decided to join forces. As global leaders
in EDA engineering and semiconductor design and manufacturing, these two companies, under a united vision, will be uniquely positioned to bring this more effi cient, more rational world of electronics creation to life, even beyond the integration of PCB and semiconductor design.
Altium has long envisioned a complete and open electronics design ecosystem, a single platform through which everyone involved in the electronics creation chain can connect, communicate, and collaborate seamlessly. With the joining of our two organisations, that vision, which we share, is closer than ever. In the world we see, everyone has the tools and information to proceed without obstacles. By everyone, we mean the engineers handling PCBs, MCAD, software, and simulation, plus supply chain, procurement, manufacturing, librarians, managers, assembly, test, and product and project managers. In this world and on this platform, functional problems such as clumsy communication, fi le transfers, missing data, design errors, and component shortfalls that can bring a project or production line to a standstill no longer exist. Third-party vendors will be able to access the open platform to smoothly execute all design steps. And perhaps most
importantly, enterprise organisations will fi nally have the capability to apply PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) practices to electronics development with an ELM (Electronics Lifecycle Management) solution that streamlines development, manages changes, and brings the same controls and effi ciencies to electronics development that product development has long enjoyed. Altium and Renesas see a future that is bright with possibilities for collaboration, innovation, and growth, with each organisation bringing its own unique
technological capabilities and know- how to this powerful new venture. Both share a commitment to openness and are unrelentingly driven to enable the power of electronics to transform life for the better. These two exceptional organisations, working together, will be able to provide the electronics industry with a smooth, connected, transparent productivity environment that will allow it to function with the speed and effi ciency required to help electronics creators worldwide meet the world’s rising needs.
