Eliminate the Design-to-Production Gap with Agile Teams + Duro

See how Agile Teams and Duro PLM unify design and production workflows with a connected, system-driven approach.

As hardware programs scale, teams often face breakdowns between design and production, where data becomes fragmented, handoffs are manual, and visibility is lost across systems. These disconnects create delays, misalignment, and increased risk as products move toward manufacturing.

Join us to see how integrating Agile Teams with Duro can create a connected digital thread from design through production. By linking ECAD data with a centralized, AI-native system of record, teams can streamline collaboration, automate change management, and ensure accurate, production-ready data flows seamlessly across the entire product lifecycle.


What You'll Learn

  • Connect ECAD design data with a centralized PLM system

    Link Agile Teams design data directly with Duro to establish a single source of truth for parts, BOMs, revisions, and documentation across teams.
  • Streamline collaboration between design and production teams

    Enable electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing stakeholders to work from shared, up-to-date data, reducing misalignment and improving coordination.
  • Improve change management with structured, traceable workflows

    Manage changes with controlled workflows, full revision history, and automated validation processes that reduce errors and improve release confidence.
  • Automate data flow and reduce manual handoffs

    Eliminate disconnected processes by synchronizing design and production data, ensuring accurate information flows into manufacturing systems without duplication or rework.

Why Attend?

  • See how integrating Agile Teams with Duro eliminates silos between design and production
  • Understand how connected workflows improve collaboration and reduce manual handoffs
  • Learn how structured change management reduces errors and accelerates release cycles
  • Discover how a unified system of record improves traceability and manufacturing readiness
  • Ask questions directly to experts during the live Q&A session

Who Should Attend?

  • Engineering Managers & Team Leads aiming to improve efficiency, reduce rework, and scale cross-functional collaboration
  • PCB Designers & Electronics Engineers looking to improve design-to-production handoff and reduce workflow friction
  • Mechanical Engineers needing reliable data synchronization across disciplines and systems
  • Manufacturing Engineers focused on reducing errors and improving release quality
  • System Engineers / Architects seeking alignment across design, BOM, and production workflows
  • Any hardware team experiencing disconnected tools, version confusion, or slow release cycles

Space is limited—secure your spot today and take the next step in connected electronics design!

Collaborative product development between the Electronic and Mechanical design domains brings unique challenges. Today, most companies are still using a file-based methodology (STEP, IDF, DXF, IDX) for creating and exchanging data between the two domains. This, for the most part, requires that the entire database is exchanged multiple times, resulting in README files, marked-up PDF’s and in-person meetings to review the updates and ensure they
