CI/CD provides distinct benefits by automating procedural steps of software development and deployment, but these concepts are challenging to adapt to PCB Design due to human intervention during the manufacturing process and limitations of existing tools. We will present a template for end-to-end automation of the PCB Release, review, and asset generation process using KiCAD, as well as further concepts including ERP integration, ordering, purchasing, part EOL, publishing ECN, and QA monitoring.
