The Challenge: In the world of electronics engineering, Printed Circuit Board (PCB) schematics are highly sensitive intellectual property. Engineers need a way to collaborate on and analyze complex designs without risking data theft or unauthorized distribution, especially when working with remote teams or external partners.
The Solution: Orion Schematics is an advanced engineering platform that bridges the gap between hardware design and software security. It serves as a secure “vault” and analysis tool where engineers can view and interact with complex schematic files. The platform features an integrated licensing and hardware-ID binding system, ensuring that sensitive blueprints can only be accessed on authorized devices.
The platform provides sophisticated visualization tools, allowing users to zoom into microscopic details of a PCB, trace connections, and analyze engineering metadata without needing the original expensive CAD software. By centralizing these assets in a secure, encrypted environment, Orion Schematics enables engineering firms to innovate faster while maintaining total control over their most valuable digital assets.
Technology Stack:
- Core Engine: C++ with Qt Framework for the high-performance desktop rendering engine.
- Web Integration: WebAssembly (WASM) to allow high-speed schematic rendering in browsers.
- Security Architecture: AES-256 end-to-end encryption and RSA-based license key validation.
- Backend API: Python (FastAPI) for processing complex engineering data and user permissions.
- Deployment: Hybrid Cloud with dedicated secure on-premise storage options.
