AllSpice x Quilter x Modelwise: The AI-Native Hardware Development Workflow

Hardware teams are under increasing pressure to deliver faster with the same resources. Software developers have had AI tailored to their workflows for years, but hardware engineers are still waiting for the same for hardware design and development. The challenge is not just in finding AI tools, it's finding the right ones for the right stages of the design process, and making them work together.

This session brings together three companies modernizing the hardware toolstack: AllSpice, Quilter, and Modelwise. Each tackles a distinct bottleneck in the hardware development journey. Together, they offer a practical picture of what an AI-native hardware workflow actually looks like today.

What you will learn

In this interactive session, you will get an inside look at three AI solutions that tackle a distinct pain point across the hardware development workflow:

• Get introduced to how AllSpice, Quilter, and Modelwise are solving real bottlenecks: running faster and more accurate design reviews, eliminating manual PCB layout trace-by-trace, and reducing late-stage design risk through automated validation.
• Hear where each company sees AI evolving for their specific use cases in hardware development
• See hands-on examples to understand how these solutions can be used today and where they are headed
• Walk away with practical framework for how to adopt and implement these tools for your own engineering workflows

This session is built for

• Hardware leaders looking to explore AI tools to introduce to their teams
• Electrical engineers feeling pain points in their workflows and wondering how AI could help
• Hardware engineers who have tested AI tools but are looking for practical implementation guidance

Featuring

AllSpice

AllSpice is the operating layer for hardware engineering. It connects the entire workflow from first schematic to production, running alongside your existing ECAD tools like Cadence, Altium, and Xpedition. AllSpice handles everything around the design work: version control, reviews, collaboration, automation, and AI-powered checks. Hardware teams use AllSpice to move faster, reduce late-stage issues, and get more leverage from their design data.

Modelwise

Modelwise automates functional safety analysis from weeks to hours, the mathematically complete solution seamlessly integrates into engineers’ workflows. By detecting potential design flaws early in the development of safety-critical products, the solution averts costly callbacks, re-designs, delays and ensures human safety, so it's never the blocker between you and mission-ready electronics.

Quilter

Quilter is enterprise-grade, physics-driven AI that automates printed circuit board layout design. Engineers upload a schematic and board outline, and Quilter handles component placement and routing end-to-end, turning weeks of manual work into hours while keeping engineers in full control. Unlike legacy auto-routers or LLM-based tools, Quilter reasons from the physics of the board to produce complete layouts in your native ECAD format, with physics checks applied as each candidate is built.
