Case Study: Safety by Cilia creates a stylish personal safety alarm with Altium

Safety by Cilia saves 159 hours per engineer with Altium

Safety by Cilia, a company creating stylish personal safety jewelry, faced the challenge of designing a miniaturized, cost-effective, and elegant hardware prototype for investors. Their primary technical hurdles included fitting advanced electronics into a small, discreet enclosure and optimizing component selection for budget and performance. They partnered with vendor Altium and utilized its electronic design tools to address these complex design constraints.

The solution implemented by Altium, including MCAD CoDesigner for mechanical synchronization and Manufacturer Part Search for component selection, enabled the team to rapidly develop a working prototype. Using Altium 365's cloud platform streamlined collaboration and version control across iterations. As a result, Safety by Cilia accelerated its design process, ensured a perfect fit for its PCB, and met its manufacturing constraints. The Altium Launchpad program also provided crucial exposure and support for their mission.
