Trace Launches AI-Driven PCB Design Automation Platform
Trace, founded by Howard University engineers, automates PCB design workflows, significantly reducing design cycle times. The platform integrates directly with manufacturing partners, streamlining the transition from design to production, which is crucial as demand for rapid hardware development increases.
Theia Market Signal Identification - AI AssistedTrace has officially launched its AI software for automating printed circuit board (PCB) design workflows, now available to customers globally. Founded by Ayomide Adekoya, Jeff Allo, and Olu Afolabi, the company leverages their experiences from Apple, Meta, and NVIDIA to tackle inefficiencies in hardware development.
The platform uses natural language prompts for tasks such as schematic generation and routing, and has been adopted by PCBWay and Pikkolo Assembly as manufacturing partners. Early adopters have reported reducing design cycles from 12 weeks to 2 weeks, minimizing costly manufacturing errors. The platform's launch aligns with the urgent need for faster development in a rapidly evolving global PCB supply chain.
