HARDWARE TRACEABILITY SOFTWARE

Hardware Traceability Software for Electronic Hardware

Give every piece of hardware a digital identity.

Connect each piece of physical hardware to a digital record containing its identity, configuration, components, testing, current state, changes, and history.

Your hardware has a history. Is that history easy to find?

For an individual physical unit, information can be spread across revisions, BOMs, components, firmware, production, testing, rework, and repairs. Its history can be difficult to find when those records live in different places.
