A design engineer decides whether a part enters a bill of materials on the datasheet, the lifecycle status and whether the CAD model is there.
We build industrial electronics websites with parametric search across the portfolio, datasheets and design files attached to every part, lifecycle and obsolescence status published openly, compliance documentation kept current, and a route to design-in support before a decision is locked.
An engineer arrives with a set of constraints rather than a product name: supply voltage range, current, operating temperature, package, interface, isolation rating, footprint. If the site cannot be filtered on those parameters, they will use a distributor’s parametric tool instead and reach your part through someone else’s interface, or not at all.
We build parametric search from the specification data that governs selection, sourced from the system that owns it. That requires parameters to be complete and consistent across the portfolio, which is usually the real work, and it is worth doing properly for a defined parameter set rather than partially for all of them.
Selection does not end at the datasheet. The engineer needs the footprint and symbol for their EDA tool, a 3D model for the mechanical check, a simulation model for the circuit, and often an evaluation board before committing. A part missing any of those is frequently skipped for one that has them.
We attach design resources to the part record rather than to a general downloads page, cover the common EDA formats, and keep them retrievable without a registration wall on the items an engineer needs early. Gating a footprint frequently costs the design-in.
A part that reaches end of life mid-programme is expensive, so lifecycle status is checked before anything is committed. Publishing that status openly, whether active, not recommended for new designs, or approaching last-time-buy, along with the recommended replacement and a migration note, is what a purchasing or design team is looking for.
We make status a structured field on the part, surface it in search results rather than only on the detail page, and connect product change and discontinuance notices to the parts they affect. Customers can then subscribe to changes for the parts they use instead of monitoring a notices page.
RoHS and REACH declarations, substance content, conflict minerals reporting, safety approvals and material composition are all requested during qualification, often by a compliance team rather than by the engineer who selected the part. When those documents are hard to reach, the request lands on your technical team instead.
We hold compliance documents against the part number and revision, with dates and scope visible, and make them retrievable in bulk for a bill of materials rather than one file at a time. That is the difference between a compliance request your customer resolves themselves and one that occupies your quality function for a week.
Code Industrial is the industrial B2B practice of Code Barcelona, an agency building corporate websites and digital platforms since 2015. The same strategy, design and engineering team works on every industrial project, from the first scoping session through to life after launch.
Industrial electronics buyers move between parameters, datasheets, design files, lifecycle status and compliance evidence in a single evaluation. These are the platforms that keep that route intact.
Questions that come up when a component portfolio has to support design-in decisions online.
Parametric search, complete datasheets and honest lifecycle status. An engineer arrives with constraints rather than a part number, and if the portfolio cannot be filtered on the parameters that govern selection, they will use a distributor’s tool instead. Everything else on the site matters less than whether a suitable part can be found and evaluated without contacting you.
By defining the parameters that decide a selection in each family, then auditing the source data for completeness, unit consistency and stated measurement conditions. Filters are built only on parameters that are reliable across the range, because an incomplete field silently excludes parts a customer would have chosen. Remaining specifications stay visible on the part page as reference data.
We generally advise against it for the resources engineers need early. A footprint, symbol or 3D model requested during evaluation is a strong buying signal, and gating it frequently results in a competitor’s part being placed instead. Registration is more defensible for evaluation kit requests or sample orders, where a conversation follows and the engineer has already committed interest.
As structured data on the part, visible in search results rather than only on the detail page. Active, not recommended for new designs and last-time-buy status each change a purchasing decision, and hiding a pending discontinuance damages trust more than the discontinuance itself. Change and discontinuance notices should be tied to part numbers so customers can subscribe for the items in their own designs.
That is normally the requirement worth designing for. Compliance teams check dozens or hundreds of part numbers at once, and a one-file-at-a-time download is what pushes the request onto your quality function instead. We build bulk retrieval by part list, with RoHS and REACH declarations, substance content and approvals held against the part and revision, with dates and scope visible. A technical documentation portal is the usual home for it.
By treating one system as the source for parameters, documentation and lifecycle status, and feeding both the website and distributor channels from it. Where a distributor holds an outdated specification, the discrepancy usually surfaces during a customer’s qualification and costs credibility. A single governed source also makes it practical to link availability at your distributors from the part page without maintaining a second dataset.
