Flux AI

Flux AI helps hardware engineers design and build printed circuit boards (PCBs) efficiently by automating the design process and offering real-time collaboration and simulation tools.

What is Flux AI?

Flux AI is a comprehensive AI-driven tool that helps engineers create, simulate, and manage PCB designs. It allows users to seamlessly build schematics, layout PCBs, and even simulate their designs within the same platform. With features like AI-assisted wiring, part sourcing, and a vast component library, Flux AI is built to make PCB design faster and more efficient. Whether for beginners or experienced engineers, it simplifies complex tasks, allowing teams to collaborate in real time, manage components, and access up-to-date parts pricing.

What Can You Do With Flux AI?

Flux AI enables users to design PCBs from concept to final layout. You can generate schematics, customize layouts, and access reusable component libraries to speed up your work. The AI Copilot feature further enhances the workflow by offering design suggestions, wiring help, and even bill of materials (BOM) generation. The built-in SPICE simulator allows for testing circuits, ensuring that they function as expected. With real-time collaboration, teams can work together, leave comments, and make live changes to designs.

Key Features of Flux AI

• AI Copilot: Assists with automating tasks like wiring, part selection, BOM creation, and more.
• Collaboration: Real-time collaboration similar to Google Docs, allowing multiple team members to work on a project simultaneously.
• Component Library: Access to a rich library of reusable components, projects, and templates that save time during the design process.
• SPICE Simulation: Integrated simulator to test and validate your circuit designs before finalizing them.
• Part Sourcing: Live updates on pricing and availability of components from major distributors such as Digi-Key and Mouser.
• Parametric Design: Allows users to easily adjust designs and layouts based on preset parameters, reducing repetitive manual work.

Benefits of Using Flux AI

Using Flux AI provides a streamlined workflow for PCB designers, enabling faster completion of designs while maintaining accuracy. The AI Copilot reduces manual tasks, allowing users to focus on creativity rather than repetitive work. Real-time collaboration ensures that team members stay in sync, no matter where they are. The integrated component library and live pricing updates simplify the part selection and sourcing process. Additionally, the SPICE simulator allows users to validate their designs early, reducing the risk of costly errors.
