Problem
Hardware engineering teams often struggle with disconnected design workflows, leading to errors and delays in bill of materials (BOM) generation and revision management. Manual processes and lack of version control across mechanical, electrical, and firmware designs create inefficiencies in hardware development and manufacturing.
Solution
Config is a design management platform that unifies mechanical, electrical, and firmware design data, providing hardware teams with a centralized system for version control, collaboration, and automated BOM creation. The platform integrates directly with CAD software like NX, SolidWorks, and Altium, allowing engineers to manage designs, commit changes, and create revisions without file conversions or format issues. Config streamlines the hardware shipping process by automating BOM generation from engineering assemblies, providing smart redlining to visualize changes, and enabling real-time collaboration through in-browser design reviews with annotations and comments. By connecting engineering, operations, and manufacturing teams, Config simplifies hardware development at scale, reduces errors, and accelerates time to market.
Target Audience
Config is designed for hardware engineering teams, operations personnel, and manufacturing partners involved in developing and shipping physical products.
