For PCB engineers who want resilient boards and fewer redesigns

Check lifecycle, availability, compliance and price for every part while you still choose it, release the BOM with approved alternates, and get prototype boards faster.

What other engineering teams say

“Since we started using Silicon Expert through Luminovo, I feel much more confident. We are no longer caught out by component obsolescence and can react in time.”

You learn about part problems after release

  • A part goes end of life after the board is released, and the redesign lands back on your desk.

  • Checking one part means the distributor site, the compliance database and the ERP.

  • Prototype boards wait days for BOM checks and weeks for supplier answers.

Design with the part data procurement uses

Check every part while you still choose it

Lifecycle, stock, lead time, compliance and price on each line, against the life of your product.

Release the BOM with approved alternates

Drop-in alternates per line, approved together with purchasing on the same data, so the BOM has more than one source from day one.

Get prototype boards in days

Upload the BOM to your prototype line or EMS. It’s checked on upload and questions are answered in the same place.

Answer compliance questions from the part data

REACH and RoHS status per part and per assembly, so a customer request is a lookup instead of a project.

Customer story

Functional prototypes in 15 days

Hekatron · Manufacturer · fire alarm and security systems · about 1,000 employees

Hekatron’s developers needed prototypes to test new designs, and the series production process took too long. The Speed Factory now takes BOMs through a portal where they’re checked on upload. Data preparation dropped from up to two days to about four hours.

  • 15 daysfunctional prototype lead time
  • ~70%faster quotation process
  • 24 haverage RFQ processing time
“Thanks to Luminovo, we were able to forgo additional personnel resources for our new Speed Factory while streamlining the purchasing process.”
Iven HenschelHead of Speed Factory, Hekatron

The cheapest moment to change a part is before the layout is done.
