 Searching for components in a company’s enterprise database, finding new parts on the web and raising new part requests, creating BOMs from schematics, and completing the BOM by adding mechanicals or creating board loading configurations, are all critical tasks that can eat up an engineer’s time and keep the engineer from the essential part of their job, designing new products.
Omnify Software’s extensive background in electrical design has given the product suite a number of capabilities that improve the productivity of electrical engineering by making critical data easy to find and automating mundane paperwork tasks.
| Searching for the right components can take up as
much as 30% of an engineer’s time. Those critical component
choices drive, on average, 70% of the cost of a product. Typically, the component data is kept in disparate databases, increasing the search time even more. Omnify PLM gives you easy access to Where Used, Vendor Data and History on all of your components (directly from a schematic) within a single database. |
| Omnify PLM provides a direct, read-only view of the database that connects natively to Orcad CIS and Mentor’s DX Databook. This allows engineers to select parts directly out of the released part database without leaving the schematic capture tool.

An inaccurate or incomplete BOM can cost weeks in schedule delays and waste in manufacturing. Omnify PLM ensures accurate board-level BOMs by enabling engineering to browse and select parts directly from the Omnify Database and place them on schematics. The entire design can also be verified against the database before BOM generation.
OmniBOM provides a BOM "Sandbox" where engineering can create BOMs in the architectural stage of a project before putting them under change control. Parts can be selected directly from the Omnify database or hand entered into an easy-to-use spreadsheet interface. OmniBOM speeds BOM generation by automating the schematic to BOM flow. A script wizard allows users to quickly create scripts to do “depops”, “adds”, “deletes”, and create multiple board loading configurations from one schematic.
