SAN DIEGO -- Altium today announced a strategic partnership aimed at easing the visual inspection and debugging process of electronic schematics. 

The PCB design software developer is teaming with Valydate to integrate its VERA with Altium Designer. automating the process of visually inspecting schematics for errors.

"This is yet another exciting extension that expands the current electronics design environment in Altium Designer,” said Daniel Fernsebner, director of technical partnerships for Altium. “Our partnership with Valydate is moving the design process forward with a new set of validation tools that will save designers countless hours and money in schematic inspection checks and streamline the entire design process for improved time-to-market.”

The firms' say ValydateVERA effectively streamlines this manual inspection process, and its integration in Altium Designer allows the automatic inspection of schematics against a predefined checklist. The checklist leverages an intelligent component library that automatically checks for thousands of error violations in schematic designs.

“We’ve seen a steadily increasing number of customers working with complex designs who had no choice but to manually check their schematics for thousands of potential errors which adds up to countless wasted hours," said Jason Hingston, CTO at Altium. “This partnership with Valydate has extended the efficiency of schematic design in Altium Designer and paves a path to greater customer satisfaction and design reliability for all electronics designers.”

ValydateVera is available as a plug-in for all customers. The product is expected to be available later this quarter.
