MKS Instruments, a leading provider of mass spectrometers and other essential laboratory equipment, was facing a significant challenge amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. The company, which holds over 2,500 patents and employs over 500 degreed scientists and engineers, was under immense pressure to support the urgent need for the development of treatments for COVID-19. The situation was further complicated by stay-in-place orders, which made it difficult for MKS's engineering team to work around the clock from anywhere. The company needed a solution that would allow them to keep up with the frenetic pace of work, while also ensuring the availability of parts for their devices, which are used in labs worldwide.
MKS Instruments turned to Altium 365, the first-ever cloud-based platform for printed circuit board design and realization. This platform allowed MKS to continue their work with ease, despite the challenges posed by the pandemic and stay-in-place orders. Altium 365 provided the infrastructure needed for MKS's team to work remotely, without any need for VPN access or connection to shared devices. The platform also facilitated collaboration between electrical and mechanical engineers, making it easier to design and update parts for MKS's devices. Furthermore, Altium 365 eliminated server downtime, a common issue that MKS had previously faced, thereby improving the efficiency of their operations.
