Digital Thread for Electronics: Synchronizing PCB, Multi-Board, and Harness Design

As the complexity of electronic products continues to accelerate, so too does the demand for multiboard systems and intelligent harness integration. While PCB design tools have matured over the last decade, the methodologies and tooling for systemlevel design, where multiple boards, connectors, and cables must work as one, have failed to keep pace. The result is a widening gap between system intent and implementation, increasing the risk of errors, rework, and delays in product development.
