Altium Unveils New Electronics Products at Electronica 2024

Altium is set to introduce three transformative product offerings at the upcoming Electronica 2024 conference in Munich, Germany, Nov. 12-15. The highlight, Altium Discover, is designed to address key industry challenges by fostering a trust-based, collaborative ecosystem that brings semiconductor manufacturers, distributors, and product developers together on a unified platform.

According to the company, Altium Discover leverages the proven cloud capabilities of Altium 365 to provide real-time, transparent collaboration, ensuring that all stakeholders in the electronics supply chain can work together with confidence, from discovery through production. The platform not only streamlines workflows but also builds trust—a crucial value proposition in today’s fragmented industry—by ensuring transparency, secure engagement, and accountability throughout the product lifecycle.

One of Altium Discover’s core strengths is its ability to maintain a persistent context across the entire product lifecycle, ensuring that information is consistently accessible and traceable, the company said. This transparency fosters trust by providing all stakeholders—manufacturers, distributors, and developers—with clear, up-to-date data that helps prevent misunderstandings and miscommunications. Furthermore, Altium Discover’s digital rights management tools allow for secure handling of intellectual property, ensuring that each participant’s contributions are recognized and protected. This level of transparency and control reinforces trust across the supply chain, enhancing collaboration and decision-making.

Altium Discover equips product developers with powerful tools for evaluating, comparing, and selecting components, accelerating the transition from design to production. Semiconductor manufacturers gain direct access to market insights and engineers, allowing them to tailor offerings more effectively and adopt faster go-to-market strategies. Distributors benefit from secure design-win registration, improving customer engagement and ensuring traceability from concept to production.

In addition to Altium Discover, Altium will unveil two additional solutions at Electronica 2024: Altium Develop and Altium Lifecycle.

Altium Develop is designed for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to unify electronics, mechanical, and software design in a single workflow. This integrated approach supports concurrent engineering, reducing development cycles and costs while driving efficiency and innovation. Altium Develop will provide turnkey capabilities for SMBs that are easy to use and easy to buy. 

Altium Lifecycle provides enterprises with comprehensive lifecycle control, ensuring precise management throughout the product journey. With full compliance and audit trail capabilities, Altium Lifecycle helps enterprises meet regulatory requirements and maintain high reliability across the entire lifecycle of their products.
