Whether your team is working on one project or six, managing permissions is a critical part of sharing, collaborating, and developing hardware. To ensure that everyone is productive right away, adding a new engineer to a project should be fast and frictionless. Permissions should be offered in different levels (view, edit, admin) to accommodate for the different type of work and assignment that needs to be carried out.

Read More About Connected AppliancesPCB design review is a critical phase of hardware development. It's the step where design errors are caught and fixed before they result in costly and time-consuming board re-spins. Upverter offers a clean, collaborative environment for design review that maximizes each member's technical skills while minimizing interruptions to their current workload.
Read More About Design ReviewFor product design teams needing tight collaboration between electrical, mechanical, and industrial design engineers, Upverter supports standard 3D models compatible with all popular mechanical design software.
Read More About Electrical / Mechanical IntegrationAlmost every piece of hardware has some form of software running on it. Whether it's microprocessor firmware or FPGA RTL, developers from other teams must be involved early in the design cycle and have easy access to the project afterwards to reference pinouts and design details.
Read More About Hardware / Software IntegrationTightly integrated component packages and ultra-dense placement are commonplace today. It's becoming table stakes to design a PCB with the density of a modern smartphone. As a result, hardware design teams are increasingly taking advantage of fine-pitched BGAs and HDI fabrication features offered by their manufacturer.
Read More About HDIWhether it's a USB 3.0 differential pair, x16 PCIe bus, or DDR3 interface, there are several design requirements that every board must meet to ensure correct functionality at full speed. Length-matching, trace spacing, and controlled impedances are just a few of the common elements that must be considered.
Read More About High-Speed InterfacesFor startups looking to develop their flagship product, paying a hefty sum for their EDA software is sometimes just not an option. Time is also a factor. To survive until the product is shipped, multiple and rapid cycles of iteration has to be part of the design process. The tools you use to design prototypes should require very little time to learn and become productive on.

For newly formed startups that are looking for a sophisticated tool that's easy to pick up, Upverter offers affordable account types for every team's needs.
Read More About Internet of ThingsIn order to keep all your components accurate and up-to-date, parts libraries need to be maintained. It's enough of a time-consuming task that, for most large enterprises, there's a dedicated librarian that searches, updates, and creates new parts for engineering use. But what kind of solutions exist for smaller organizations and startups?
Read More About Library ManagementThe way hardware is built today is increasingly global and borderless. Teams are leveraging new technology in communication tools to work together despite being in different parts of the world. But what about the design tools? How do teams truly collaborate on hardware?
Read More About Local & Global CollaborationThe Open Source Hardware movement is growing. For makers and engineers who are looking to contribute to the Hardware Revolution, Upverter offers the easiest way to share, discover, fork, and follow designs.
Read More About Open Source HardwareThere are several hurdles that exist for hardware engineering teams that rely on outsourcing segments of their work: communication latency, a lack of transparency, secure transfer of files, and more. Upverter offers several solutions for streamlining collaboration between teams and contractors so that product milestones can be met together.
Read More About Outsourcing & Working with ContractorsCreating new parts for a project can often be an overwhelming undertaking. It's very easy to get stuck in a loop, doing tiny but time-consuming work before you even get started on your design.
Read More About Part CreationFor organizations needing a smooth transition from hardware design to electronic manufacturing, Upverter makes it easy to access and manage the critical data needed throughout the product lifecycle.
Read More About Product Lifecycle ManagementFor hardware design teams needing to re-use and modify designs created using other CAD tools, Upverter interoperates with many popular design packages to enable smooth migration of data.
Read More About Portability & InteroperabilityFor hardware engineers who are looking to quickly learn and iterate from testing their printed boards, Upverter's many options for manufacturing makes rapid prototyping speedy and uncomplicated.
Read More About Rapid PrototypingHardware development is comprised of multiple cycles: designs have to reviewed, prototyped, tested, and iterated on to ensure quality of the finished device. But all engineering teams are faced with time-constraints and challenges that affect their time-to-market. This is an especially l
Read More About Reduced Development CycleScripting has become a standard method for engineers to extend the functionality of their CAD tool in imaginative and highly customized ways. However, they can be faced with learning a non-standard scripting language, lack of debug tools, or the fear of unintentionally corrupting the design data.
Read More About Scripting & ExtensionsFor hardware product companies facing the challenges of safely storing their IP, Upverter's secure data repository offers a number of controls to help alleviate this hurdle. Upverter alleviates much of the burden of secure data storage. Your data is hosted on SAS 70-audited data centers that are part of the Amazon Web Services cloud infrastructure, one of the most flexible and secure cloud computing environments today.
Read More About Security & Data ManagementHardware product development is evolving. The tradition of using separate tools, different data sets, and multiple transition files for each stage of the design cycle is coming to an end. Managing the accuracy and integrity of your data as multiple engineers and project managers get involved at every stage of the design cycle can quickly become a nightmare.
Read More About Unified WorkflowMany of the design tools we've grown used to are archaic, static, and unevolved. Simple and necessary tasks like version control is still not an industry-standard for most EDA packages. The result is a whole collection of "complementary" software that clutters and slows down the development process.
Read More About Version ControlSmart watches, fitness trackers, smart glass, and more. Wearable technology is increasingly playing a part in our daily lives. These devices enable us to interface our physical environment and life with the digital world. And given that more and more consumers are actively looking for new and innovative wearables to monitor and assist with their lives, how do you get involved?
