Enterprise innovation ## What enterprise innovation teams need from Flux. ![3D view of a device enclosure, circuit boards, wiring, and mounts](https://flux.seobdtools.com/p/assets/homepage-v2/teams-device-cutaway.webp) ### The whole product, not just a board. Board, enclosure, harness and firmware in one project. ### Startup speed. A small team with a team of AI engineers explores more ideas in less time. ### Company approval. Project-level permissions, single sign-on, no training on your data, and the AI models your security team approved. ### Your company's rules. Flux learns your design rules and approved parts, and follows them on every prototype. ### Clean hand-off to main engineering. Hand off projects in the EDA and CAD formats that your main engineering team uses. ### Prototypes that work. Flux runs simulation and checks before you build, so a demo does not fail in front of leadership. End to end ## A single AI engineer for complete products. Flux manages all development stages within one unified project. One AI engineer guides the product from original specifications to production-ready deliverables, with continuous human oversight. ![Block diagram that the Flux AI engineer created for a desk gadget: power, USB, microcontroller, display, and audio blocks](https://flux.seobdtools.com/p/assets/homepage-v2/teams-device-block-diagram.webp) ### Requirements Begin with your specification sheet, block diagram, or functional description. ### Schematics and sourcing Flux selects stock components and constructs the schematic. ### PCB layout Flux places components and routes traces matching your internal rules and vendor constraints. ### Enclosure and cabling Flux designs mounting structures, outer housings, and internal wiring harnesses around physical assemblies. ### Firmware development Flux authors and validates embedded code tailored to the custom hardware. ### Validation and export Flux runs automated checks and simulations across every update before exporting Gerber, ODB++, IPC-2581, STEP, and BOM files. Model-agnostic AI ## The AI models you trust. Combined with hardware tools. Flux links leading AI models to a specialized agent environment designed for CAD and EDA. Models perform logical reasoning. Flux provides the domain tools, project data, and workflows that turn reasoning into working hardware. - OpenAI - Anthropic - Google Gemini - More as they ship Smart model routing ### Top performance at 30% lower cost. Adaptive divides engineering jobs into discrete tasks, routing each task to the most cost-effective model available. Complex architectural decisions go to top-tier models. Standard tasks run on fast, economical models. Independent work happens concurrently, speeding up total hardware delivery. Your team directs one AI engineer while Flux handles internal task distribution. ### Frontier AI models - Reasoning - Planning - Language ### Flux engineering harness - CAD and EDA tools - Project context - Simulation - Design rules ### Working hardware - Schematics - Boards - Enclosures - Firmware - Fab files - Product videos ### Every leading AI model, single location Access the frontier models your organization relies on directly inside Flux. ### Built-in hardware tools Each model connects to specialized CAD tools, design context, and hardware workflows. ### Upgrade without platform switches Access newer models as they ship without changing your primary hardware environment. ### Zero single-provider dependency Avoid reliance on one vendor for your team's hardware design capacity. ### Optimal models for every task Adaptive routes each design task to its ideal model, handling both complex logic and routine verification. Kernel-agnostic CAD ## Selects the proper CAD kernel for every part. Old CAD platforms depend on one geometry engine, locking every design to its constraints. Flux works across kernels, just as it works across AI models. The AI engineer selects the right engine for each component, swaps kernels when needed for specific features, and merges all parts into a unified model. - ![Open Cascade](https://flux.seobdtools.com/p/assets/homepage-v2/teams-logos/opencascade.svg) ### OpenCascade Precise, standard geometry that CAM and CAD tools read cleanly. Strong for machined components and complex assemblies. - ![NVIDIA](https://flux.seobdtools.com/p/assets/homepage-v2/teams-logos/nvidia.svg) ### SMLib Smooth, curvature-continuous surface geometry intended for handheld hardware and consumer products. - ![Siemens](https://flux.seobdtools.com/p/assets/homepage-v2/teams-logos/siemens.svg) ### Parasolid On request The engine inside SolidWorks, NX, Solid Edge, and Onshape, enabling native-quality file exchange with those platforms. **Visible proof of surface quality.** Zebra stripes, curvature maps, and curvature combs verify that each surface is smooth before moving to tooling. Verification lab ## Runs simulations and verifies its own work prior to physical builds. Flux goes beyond raw hardware generation. The AI system runs simulations and tests its own work using enterprise-grade solvers, presenting full results for review. ### Circuit analysis SPICE simulation for analog, power, and mixed-signal systems, executed and analyzed directly by the AI engineer. ### Electromagnetic modeling Full-wave simulation for routed PCBs, covering impedance, S-parameters, crosstalk, and antenna performance. ### Thermal analysis Thermal and airflow modeling for circuit boards and housings prior to physical prototyping. ### Fluid dynamics Airflow and thermal cooling inside enclosures, so vents, fans, and heat sinks perform before physical fabrication. ### Structural simulation Finite-element stress testing for structural brackets, housings, and mechanical mounts. ### Design rule checking Automated electrical and manufacturing constraint checks for every schematic and layout. ### Datasheet validation Parses the datasheet of every component to verify schematics against pinouts, ratings, and operational limits. ![SPICE load step of a 3.3 V buck converter](https://flux.seobdtools.com/p/assets/homepage-v2/verification-lab-spice-load-step.webp) SPICE load step of a 3.3 V buck converter ![Thermal map of top and bottom copper](https://flux.seobdtools.com/p/assets/homepage-v2/verification-lab-copper-thermal.webp) Thermal map of top and bottom copper ![Stress analysis of an aluminum bracket](https://flux.seobdtools.com/p/assets/homepage-v2/verification-lab-bracket-stress.webp) Stress analysis of an aluminum bracket ![S-parameters of a USB data line, simulated on the routed board](https://flux.seobdtools.com/p/assets/homepage-v2/verification-lab-usb-line-s-parameters.webp) S-parameters of a USB data line, simulated on the routed board Orchestration ## Single brief. An entire team of AI engineers. Provide Flux with a complete product. The primary AI engineer breaks the project into parallel workstreams, manages them across projects, and delivers unified status updates. ### Concurrent execution Every task runs in its dedicated thread. Main boards, add-on modules, and enclosures are developed simultaneously. ### Cross-project coordination The lead AI system launches work in separate projects while monitoring everything centrally. ### Automated management It tracks every thread, corrects deviations from the specifications, and combines final outputs. ### Complete team control Design updates altering board dimensions or connector locations require explicit approval. Example ### Creating a system with three daughterboards Flux generates design requirements for every board, defining outlines, mounting holes, connectors, and matching enclosure cutouts. Each module receives a dedicated project and AI engineer for concurrent design. Flux then compiles all boards inside the main assembly, measuring mechanical clearances and connector positioning in millimeters. Collaboration ## Engineers, partners, and AI assistants in one shared environment. Flux operates in your browser. Teams access identical live models, work on them concurrently, and eliminate file transfers entirely. - ### Real-time co-authoring. Designers, stakeholders, and AI agents collaborate within a single project. See active users and their active selections live. - ### Complete revision history. Flux logs every modification, author, and timestamp. Revert to previous states or spin off new projects anytime. - ### Centralized enterprise hub. Keep project files, internal components, and design rules in one location. Assign view, comment, or edit rights team-wide. - ### Collaborate with suppliers, clients, and contractors. Share single projects via email with view, comment, or edit permissions without granting access to internal workspaces. - ### In-context design feedback.
