Case Study: Olivetti achieves reliable IoT PCB design and faster time to market with Zuken CADSTAR

Olivetti introduces complex, IoT-enabled products with confidence by switching to CADSTAR

Olivetti, a leading office and retail OEM, needed a way to design increasingly complex, high-reliability PCBs for IoT-enabled products while meeting strict design-for-manufacture and design-for-test requirements. Working with vendor Zuken, the team used CADSTAR PCB design software to handle high-density, mainly double-sided boards in an increasingly electromagnetically noisy environment.

Zuken’s CADSTAR gave Olivetti effective, flexible design-rule checking and support for placing test points, helping the company maintain reliability and speed up development. The result was greater confidence in tackling complex designs, shorter time to market, and continued delivery against ambitious innovation, volume, and launch goals, with Olivetti reporting strong value for money and satisfaction with Zuken’s local support.
