Zuken CR-8000 Design Synchronization Tool 20.000

Zuken CR-8000 Design Synchronization Tool by Zuken

Zuken CR-8000 Design Synchronization Tool streamlines and safeguards the flow of design data across the CR-8000 environment, keeping schematics (Design Gateway), 2D/3D PCB and multi-board layouts (Design Force), constraints, libraries, and BOMs consistent from concept through manufacturing. It reduces ECO churn and design divergence by coordinating forward and back annotation, highlighting differences, and managing controlled updates across electrical and mechanical domains.

Key capabilities:

• Seamless synchronization between schematic and PCB, with support for hierarchy and design variants
• System-level and multi-board consistency for nets, components, and constraints across interconnected boards
• ECAD–MCAD collaboration with incremental exchange of placement, keepouts, and enclosure constraints (e.g., via IDX/STEP)
• Cross-probing, change impact analysis, and conflict resolution to prevent unintended edits
• Unified rules and high-speed constraint alignment across domains
• Library and BOM attribute consistency with parameter mapping
• Managed ECO workflow with versioning, audit trails, and optional PLM/ERP integrations
• Support for open manufacturing formats (e.g., IPC-2581, ODB++, Gerber) to maintain downstream data integrity

Benefits:

• Fewer re-spins and shorter design cycles
• Improved first-pass success through consistent, traceable changes
• Scalable collaboration for distributed teams and complex designs
