The most dangerous component isn't necessarily the one everyone is talking about. It could be the tiny capacitor nobody has looked at for two years. Or the IC with one supplier. Or the part whose manufacturer just changed its process.

hardware teams shouldn’t need 6 tabs and 3 spreadsheets to figure out whether a component is becoming a problem we’re opening more of PartPilot up lifecycle + PCNs + BOM risk + alternates + Community Pulse + KiCad work github.com/partpilot-in/part…

been opening more of PartPilot up on github lifecycle + PCNs + BOM risk + alternates + community signals + KiCad hardware people come look through it and tell us what we’re getting wrong lol github.com/partpilot-in/part… #HardwareEngineering #EDA #Electronics #OpenSource #KiCad

hardware teams shouldn’t have to dig through 10 different places to figure out which parts need attentionbuilding PartPilot to make that obvious before it becomes a production problem 🫡 #HardwareEngineering #EDA #Electronics #PCBDesign #PartPilot

your BOM shouldn't have to reach production before you find out something changed. building @partpilotinc to catch more of that earlier.

one component changes. now what else needs to be checked? that's the problem we're chasing with @partpilotinc

that's the rabbit hole we're going down with @partpilotinc #EDA #HardwareEngineering

We believe hardware teams shouldn't have to discover component problems after they've already reached prod. The future of BOM management isn't just: “What parts do we have?” It's: “What is happening to our parts—and what should we?” That's what we're building at PartPilot.

send me a BOM that’s giving you trouble let’s see what PartPilot catches and what it misses #PCBDesign #BOM #HardwareEngineering

we got open-source AI verification for hardware engineering before GTA6🤯 go break PartPilot (link in comments)

A manufacturer sends a PCN. Most teams see: “Product change notification.” PartPilot asks: What actually changed? And more importantly: Does that change matter to your product? We analyze component changes and help engineering teams understand the potential. #Hardware

“Find an alternative component.” Sounds simple. Until you discover that: ✓ The voltage matches ✓ The package matches ✗ The pinout doesn't A replacement isn't truly a replacement unless the engineering details work. PartPilot helps teams evaluate alternatives across world.
