Two desktop apps. Deterministic rules. 100% offline. $29/month each.
KiCad → DFMEA Auto-generation
Generate DFMEA from your KiCad schematic and check quality with built-in lint rules. Traces failure modes per pin, outputs AIAG & VDA compliant Excel. All on your machine.
30-day full access — no credit card
DFMEA + BOM Consistency Checker
9 deterministic rules cross-check your DFMEA against your BOM in 3 minutes. Coverage gaps, safety blind spots, S/O/D consistency. PASS / WARN / FAIL + quality score.
30-day full access — no credit card
Deterministic rules only. Every finding is traceable to a rule. You can explain every result to your auditor.
All rules reference the AIAG & VDA FMEA Handbook (1st Ed. 2019). Compliant by design.
Your IP stays on your machine. No cloud upload. No account. No tracking. Just offline tools that work.
Final review is always human. Our tools surface risks. Your judgment closes gaps. Humans stay in control.
EXITON replaces hours of manual spreadsheet work with a deterministic, rules-based workflow. No AI hallucination. No cloud dependency. Just structured, auditable DFMEA output from your existing KiCad design files.
Load your .kicad_sch file and BOM (CSV or XLSX). EXITON FMEA parses the schematic's S-expression format, extracts component references, values, footprints, and net connections. Supports hierarchical sheets and multi-page designs.
Each component is classified into one of 15 categories — resistors, ceramic capacitors, electrolytic capacitors, digital ICs, analog/power ICs, diodes, MOSFETs, connectors, crystal oscillators, inductors, solder joints, TVS/ESD protection, fuses/PTCs, communication transceivers, and LDO/DCDC regulators. Failure modes are assigned from a deterministic database, not generated by AI.
Get a complete DFMEA Excel workbook with failure modes, effects, causes, Severity/Occurrence/Detection ratings, and Action Priority. Built-in quality lint checks your DFMEA against the AIAG & VDA FMEA Handbook (1st Ed. 2019) and scores it 0–100. Review, refine, and submit.
After generating your DFMEA, run EXITON Q-gate DFMEA-BOM consistency checker to cross-validate. Q-gate applies 9 deterministic rules to catch coverage gaps, orphan failure modes, safety-critical blind spots, and S/O/D rating inconsistencies between your DFMEA and BOM. The result: a PASS, WARN, or FAIL verdict with a quality score and specific findings you can act on before your design review.
Both tools use the complete 1,000-entry S×O×D Action Priority lookup table from the AIAG & VDA FMEA Handbook — not a simplified approximation. Every finding is traceable to a specific rule and handbook section, so you can explain every result to your auditor.
Small teams designing connected devices need to ship quality documentation fast. EXITON generates a DFMEA draft in minutes instead of days, letting you focus engineering time on the product itself. The free tier (up to 20 components) covers many early-stage prototypes at no cost.
When your OEM customer requires AIAG & VDA compliant DFMEA for every design change, manually updating Excel is slow and error-prone. EXITON's deterministic lint rules catch inconsistencies before your cross-functional review meeting — saving revision cycles and audit findings.
Independent designers often deliver schematics without formal quality documentation. Adding a DFMEA and consistency report to your deliverables differentiates your service. EXITON runs entirely offline — your client's IP never leaves your machine.
University instructors and corporate trainers use EXITON to demonstrate real DFMEA workflows on actual KiCad designs. Students see how failure modes, effects, and causes connect to real components — not just textbook theory. The free tier makes classroom deployment easy.
