Operational Impact
The adoption of Altium’s Vault technology has significantly improved the operational efficiency of Omnisys Instruments. The Vault's ability to thoroughly document and track all components has been crucial in meeting the mission-critical nature of Omnisys’ product development. The 'Where-used' feature has not only sped up the overall design process but also facilitated efficient and confident late changes. The pain of testing and deploying last-minute design changes has been greatly alleviated. Furthermore, Component Lifecycle Management in the Vault has provided the engineers at Omnisys the freedom and flexibility to design to their full creative potential, knowing that they are designing only with approved components. This has not only saved valuable design time but also ensured that the project stays under budget. | |
Quantitative Benefit
Greater confidence in design models due to managed lifecycle | |
Efficient monitoring of item revisions with the 'Where-used' feature | |
Smoother management of the Vault compared to separately managing a SVN and collection of DBLibs | |
