Electronics data

PCBAs, Gerbers and harnesses alongside the mechanical BOM.

Electronics data sits in the same vault as the metal, so a board is a part like any other with its own revision, BOM and suppliers.

Gerber viewing

Upload a Gerber set — normally a ZIP from your EDA tool — and the layers render in the browser. Toggle top, bottom or both, and zoom to inspect. Useful for confirming a revision without opening EDA software.

PCBA bills of materials

A PCBA BOM behaves like any other, with reference designators for each line. Components can carry manufacturer part numbers and distributor data. Because it's an ordinary BOM, board cost rolls into product cost automatically.

Wire harnesses

Harnesses are modelled as assemblies with their wires, terminals, connectors and sleeving as components. Companies that need conductor-level detail typically use a schedule — see Schedules and custom tables.
