Your FMEA has 200 rows.
Nobody read past row 50.

You still spent three days writing it.

This is not quality work.

Engineers are forced to write FMEAs for auditors, not for design. EXITON puts failure analysis back in the design phase — on your machine, before the review meeting.

What we believe

Quality is not a document

It's a design decision. When FMEA becomes a checkbox exercise, failures slip through. We build tools that make quality analysis part of the design workflow — not paperwork that happens after.

Your data is your IP

Schematics, BOM, failure analysis — these are the most sensitive files a hardware team owns. EXITON runs 100% on your machine. No cloud. No upload. No account.

Rules over guesses

Our tools use deterministic logic, not AI hallucination. Every check is traceable. Every result is reproducible. When we use AI (BlockSketch), it's bounded by a rule engine that catches the mistakes.

Who uses EXITON?

EXITON tools are designed for engineers and teams who follow structured quality processes in hardware development.

IoT / Hardware Startups

Small teams shipping physical products need audit-ready DFMEAs without hiring a full-time quality engineer. EXITON automates the tedious parts of AIAG & VDA compliance so you can focus on design, not paperwork.

Quality Engineers

Reviewing DFMEAs for 50+ components by hand is error-prone. Q-gate cross-validates your DFMEA against BOM in seconds, catching coverage gaps and S/O/D inconsistencies that manual review often misses.

Design Review Teams

Use BlockSketch to generate system block diagrams from text descriptions in seconds. Export to .drawio and share with your team for architecture reviews. No Visio license needed.

Automotive & Industrial Teams

EXITON FMEA validates against the full AIAG & VDA FMEA Handbook (1st Edition, 2019) standard. The 1,000-entry Action Priority lookup table ensures your severity, occurrence, and detection ratings are correctly mapped.

Why EXITON exists

Quality tools in hardware were built for the people who audit designs, not the people who create them. Polarion tracks traceability. DOORS manages requirements. Neither helps a designer catch a failure mode before it ships.

We're hardware engineers. We've sat through the review meetings where 40 FMEA gaps get discovered at once. We've copy-pasted failure modes at 11pm the night before a gate review. We built EXITON because that workflow is broken, and nobody else is fixing it.

EXITON is deterministic, offline, and $29/month. Three tools in beta: FMEA quality linter, BOM consistency checker, and AI block diagram generator. macOS and Windows. 30-day free trial.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is EXITON FMEA?
EXITON FMEA is a desktop quality linter that checks your DFMEA Excel files against AIAG & VDA FMEA Handbook rules. It covers 15 component categories, validates Action Priority using a full 1,000-entry lookup table, and produces a quality score from 0 to 100. It runs entirely on your machine — no data leaves your computer.
What is EXITON Q-gate?
EXITON Q-gate cross-validates your DFMEA against your BOM using 9 consistency rules. It catches coverage gaps, safety blind spots, and S/O/D inconsistencies, then returns a PASS, WARN, or FAIL verdict with a quality score.
Does EXITON use AI or cloud services?
EXITON tools are deterministic and offline-first. They use rules-based logic, not AI, for all quality checks. Your schematics and FMEA files never leave your machine. No cloud upload, no account required, no tracking.
How much does EXITON cost?
EXITON FMEA and Q-gate are each $29/month with a 30-day free trial. BlockSketch is free with no signup required. All paid tools include macOS and Windows support.
Who is EXITON built for?
EXITON is built for hardware engineers, quality engineers, and IoT/hardware startup teams who need to produce audit-ready DFMEA documents. It is especially useful for teams following the AIAG & VDA FMEA Handbook (1st Edition, 2019).
What file formats does EXITON support?
EXITON FMEA accepts DFMEA Excel files (.xlsx). Q-gate accepts both DFMEA Excel and BOM files (.xlsx/.csv). BlockSketch outputs interactive block diagrams that export to .drawio format.
