Learning Hub Webinars Proactive Lifecycle Management: Preventing Obsolescence Before It Hits

Get ahead of costly redesigns and disruptions—before they happen.

Proactive Lifecycle Management: Preventing Obsolescence Before It Hits

Avoid Obsolescence Fire Drills With a Smarter Strategy



When a key component becomes unavailable, the fallout can halt production, trigger emergency redesigns, and inflate costs. Altium 365 can help. In this expert-led session, discover how proactive lifecycle management tools built into Altium 365 help you anticipate lifecycle risks and keep your projects running smoothly, from design through procurement.

 What You’ll Learn

  • Track At-Risk Parts Across All Projects

    Leverage the “Parts in Use” feature and Library Health Dashboard for complete visibility into components nearing end-of-life.
  • Quantify and Prioritize Obsolescence Risk

    Learn how to assess component exposure and implement alternative sourcing strategies.
  • Automate Lifecycle Monitoring

    Preview the new “Parts Watchdog” tool, designed to alert your team about changes that could impact production.

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
