The PCB Assembly Assistant within Altium 365 is a browser-based tool designed to facilitate manual printed circuit board (PCB) assembly by combining detailed Bill of Materials (BOM) data with interactive 2D and 3D visualizations of the board. This integration allows assemblers to cross-reference components between the BOM and their exact physical locations on the PCB, ensuring precise placement and orientation. By providing a unified digital interface, the Assistant eliminates the need for physical documents, reducing errors and rework. Users can track assembly progress in real-time by marking components as mounted or skipped, enabling efficient monitoring and reporting. Operating within the Altium 365 workspace ensures that any design updates are automatically synchronized, guaranteeing that the latest BOM and board layouts are always in use.

Features:

• Integrated BOM and Assembly Views: Cross-probe between BOM entries and their physical locations on the PCB using interactive 2D and 3D representations.
• Paperless Assembly Process: Consolidate all necessary assembly information into a single digital platform, eliminating the need for physical documents.
• Real-Time Progress Tracking: Mark components as mounted or skipped during assembly to monitor progress and facilitate reporting.
• Automatic Design Synchronization: Ensure that the latest BOM and board layouts are always in use through automatic synchronization within the Altium 365 workspace.
