Octopart Discover System Design Sourcing Tool
Discover system design sourcing tool takes system intent – functional blocks, constraints and requirements – and narrows options to viable options that fit. Connects intent and context so engineers can explore system options and converge faster. Brings intelligence to decision-making to when architectures, constraints and tradeoffs are first defined. Works with CAD, PLM and data partners to keep discovery tied to functional blocks, constraints and tradeoffs as designs evolve.
