Key Capabilities

Paperwork-Free Assembly

Assembly Assistant declutters engineer workbenches. You won’t need BOM and assembly printouts, so you can focus on the PCB assembly process without constantly switching between documents and tools.

Integrated BOM and Assembly Views

Components in the Bill of Materials (BOM) list connect to their representations on the 2D and 3D board views. You can efficiently cross-probe between a component and its physical location, and components can be grouped in the list or on the board. Assembly Assistant is a flexible tool that adapts to your specific PCB assembly process.

Tracked Assembly and Reporting

Track PCB assembly progress within Assembly Assistant. You can mark each component as you mount it on the board or skip it for later mounting.

Up-To-Date Design Files with Integrated Information

All work takes place in a connected Altium 365 workspace. Design file updates sync with Assembly Assistant, so you are always working with the latest BOM and board layout.

Leaders and Startups Alike

With over ten thousand companies worldwide using Altium 365 to design electronics,
the platform has become the new modern standard in hardware design.

“With the help of the Assembly Assistant in Altium 365, we have managed to speed up assembly and eliminate paper from the manual assembly process. It is great as it saves us the ‘documentation’ labour and allows easy zooming into densely populated areas.”

“Integrating Altium 365 Assembly Assistant directly into the Prototyping Workspace proved to be a good decision, not only for manual assembly but also for diagnostic inspection and repairs.”
