KiCad Design Data Management (This tool suite is still at concept stage).
Update Nov17 - [Kipartman] (https://github.com/turdusmerula/kipartman) by @turdusmerula has many of the key components of this suite. I am collaborating with Sebastien to extend and support Kipartman to hopefully be a part of this vision. It is possibly Kipartman may be this vision
is for KiCadDDM as a suite of tools to enable improved workflow of schematic design, component inventory mangement and pcb design, through the smart use of the Electronic Design Data split over many systems and places
It is tool that interfaces KiCAD with Inventory and MRP systems, external vendors, and part reasearch and EDA tools such as Octopart and SnapEDA. , and simplifies the schematic component selection and workable BOM generation.
The tool suite
Extends the following KiCAD EESCHEMA dialogs or interfaces
- Add Component interface
- Component Value/Footprint Edit
- Bom output
Provides Screens and Python API's for
- curating of an organizations parts
- component selection
- design data reports
- Costing
- Part availability
- Inventory Buy Requests.
- key metric visibility
- Git based version control
