SpeedUp
SpeedUp AI
SpeedUp lets you skip the tedious manual work of circuit schematic design. Just type in what your product needs to do, attach any relevant component datasheets, and the AI handles the rest — generating a structured block diagram, designing each module's schematic, and running electrical rule checks along the way. You can review and refine the block diagram before the AI proceeds, so you stay in control without doing the heavy lifting. When the design is ready, export a complete KiCad project in one click. Whether you're an experienced hardware engineer looking to speed up prototyping or a maker bringing a new idea to life, SpeedUp cuts the path from concept to schematic from weeks down to minutes.Starting Price: $30/month -

CMM-Manager
QxSoft, LLC
CMM-Manager was designed to deliver powerful measurement capability while maintaining a straightforward, user-friendly experience across virtually any CMM. Rather than limiting users to a specific platform, the software works with both new and existing CMM hardware. As a result, manufacturers can run inspections on vision systems, manual CMMs, portable devices, and multi-sensor CNC coordinate measuring machines using a single software environment. Instead of investing in costly hardware upgrades, companies can simply integrate CMM-Manager directly with their current CMMs or metrology equipment. In other words, the software connects to existing machines without requiring additional hardware or specialized middleware. CMM-Manager can breathe new life into older CMMs while also improving the user experience on modern machines by replacing complicated OEM software with a more intuitive interface. Because of this flexibility, shops can standardize their inspection workflow.Starting Price: $3,795/one-time purchase -

Agni Link
Elmo Solutions
Agni Link automates the transfer of Bills of Materials using an add-in to CAD/PDM/PLM applications by Autodesk, SOLIDWORKS, PTC (Creo, Windchill) and Siemens (Solid Edge, Teamcenter), just to name a few. It brings your data from both information silos into one common data object. You can easily define simple rules, so the discrepancies found between your systems are resolved in real-time automatically, based on simple rules that you can easily define. Easy, error-free, accurate and reliable. The Elmo way. And if you are not quite happy with the mappings and their behavior, you can easily edit them all by yourself — without any programming! It is proven that in an ETO process, manual transcription of data from Engineering to Manufacturing can consume up to 25% of the total engineering effort. And unfortunately, the export-import approach is barely better. Only bidirectional, real-time data validation and populating can eliminate the terrible waste of brains. -

Suggested actions will reduce operating costs and increase safety and reliability of the fleet. The platform captures isolated sources of data to reveal important information about the health of the engine. Our approach helps to detect anomalies by producing an early-warning detection system. The alerts increase fleet reliability. Line and hangar maintenance shops can be assured of higher parts availability, higher throughput, reduced no-fault-found (NFF) incidences, parts inventory, and maintenance costs.Starting Price: $300.00/month -

Surprisingly, many companies are still using inefficient and costly methods, resulting in higher cost, lower productivity and technical drawings that are only accessible to a few people in an organization. Cut the amount of time a electrical engineer spends on generating electrical designs, and they could spend more time working with customers. The fact is, technical drawing is an invaluable resource and should be accessible to everyone in an organization.Starting Price: $99.00/month
