Hello, Welcome to the Altium Learning Hub

Managing hardware design projects, which result in physical product development, is not an easy task due to broad engineering activities like testing, debugging, and setting up mass production. The main source of difficulty is the scope of hardware projects, which usually require the coordination of many processes and people with diverse competencies. The level of expertise needed depends on the complexity of the project (as well as resource...

As vehicles evolve, they are no longer just a form of transportation. They can now function as smart, connected hubs for data and communication. With the rise of electric vehicles, autonomous driving technologies, and cloud-linked features on the rise, the complexity of the wire harness networks that support these innovations continues to expand. Wire harnesses, once limited to power and signal distribution, now facilitate data exchange, system...

The aerospace and defense industries demand the highest level of safety and reliability for their electronic systems. To ensure mission success and passenger safety, stringent standards like DO-254 (Design Assurance for Airborne Electronic Hardware) and DO-178C (Software Considerations in Airborne Systems and Equipment) govern the development process. A critical aspect of complying with these standards is the establishment and maintenance of...

The supply chain faces numerous challenges that can disrupt the flow of essential medical devices. Analysis of the medical electronics supply chain is crucial not only for profit but also because it directly impacts patient safety, healthcare quality, and the overall resilience of the healthcare system. The core belief driving this analysis is the commitment to safeguarding patient health and ensuring that medical technologies are available and...

Electronics design teams are under more pressure than ever to deliver complex products on accelerated timelines. However, according to a study commissioned by Altium and carried out by Forrester, inefficient project management tools and processes waste an annual average of 159 hours per designer*. That’s nearly a month of productive time lost to project management inefficiencies. Engineering project management professionals face a seemingly...

Join us for a webinar demonstrating how Altium 365 supports every stage of electronics development. From capturing requirements to manufacturing, this session will explore practical ways to address workflow challenges, improve team collaboration, and speed up project delivery. Why Attend? Outdated workflows, like Emails, spreadsheets, and ZIP files lead to scattered data, and often slow teams down. Altium 365 addresses these challenges by...

Too much inventory, too little inventory. One moment, the focus is on Excess & Obsolete, the next moment, it's Shortages. A key method to finding balance is Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP). S&OP can be complex and not for everyone. Is it right for your company? Let's find out. What Is S&OP? The core function of S&OP is reconciling demand and supply into a management-approved financial plan. What do you do with the demand plan if the supply...

Technology continues to evolve rapidly, and industries are constantly pursuing lighter, more adaptable, and energy-efficient electrical systems. Among the most impactful advancements is the rise of flexible printed electronics, but does this development signal the end of traditional wire harnesses? Not quite. From bendable circuits in wearables to printed sensors in smart packaging, flexible electronics are changing how engineers design embedded...

Wire harness assembly has long been one of the most labor-intensive and complex aspects of manufacturing. Unlike printed circuit boards (PCBs), which benefit from high levels of automation, wire harnesses require intricate routing, bundling, and securing—tasks that traditionally rely on manual labor. However, with the increasing demand for electric vehicles (EVs), aerospace, industrial automation, and high-tech electronics, the industry is...
