Augmented Reality Toolkit for PCB Design

inspectAR's augmented reality (AR) technology replaces traditional methods of coordinating engineering data for PCBs by providing an integrated and clear view of the design that the user can directly interact with, improving productivity by over 30%, saving on design time, and improving quality assurance capabilities.

PCB Testing AR Software for PCB Designers

Easy-to-Use AR Technology

Directly interact with a board in the real world

Team Collaboration

Collaborate easily on designs to eliminate common communication mishaps

Simple Calibration Process

AR overlays to compute the location of the board in real time

Search Features

Easily search for any component or net to find where it is located on the board

Inspect, Analyze, Debug, Rework, and Bring Up PCBs Faster with the Power of AR

  • Search feature can find nets and components anywhere on the board: Users can search using reference designators, manufacturer part number (MPN), or component values (resistance, voltages, etc.).
  • Augmented reality overlays allow for accurate placement of test devices and connections as well as accurate testing and debugging workflows.
  • Documentation, component pinouts, and analysis data are visually available with a simple click of the mouse.
  • The Save States feature allows users to save groups of overlays for quick and easy reuse later.
  • Project-wide commenting allows users to make quick notes others can see.
  • Enables people who are not familiar with PCB design to easily collaborate synchronously and asynchronously with the original design team.
  • Advanced Allegro PCB Designer integration allows step-by-step instructions to be executed in the inspectAR tool and then sent back to the Allegro platform for review.

Optimize the PCB Testing Process

Unify CAD Tools

With the inspectAR tool, technicians and designers can easily test, debug, and rework manufactured PCBs, regardless of which CAD tool was used to design them. This will help unify your organization by creating stronger workflows and improving collaboration.

PCB as a Live Interactive Board

Within the inspectAR tool, you can easily interact with any board in the real world by selecting components. Hover over a component to display its reference designator. Click a component and view the design-specific pinout natively. If you flip the board over, all the overlays that you are looking at will be reversed and mirrored to match the design.

Save Cycles with Better Documentation

There can be huge delays in transferring documentation from the lab or manufacturing line back to design engineering. The inspectAR tool allows documentation for production issues to be created quickly and easily with the physical sample and design information in direct context.
