Virtual factory in action in Munich
This year at Productronica 2003, Tecnomatix Unicam will be demonstrating the "virtual factory in action".
Aimed at original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), original design manufacturers (ODMs) and electronics manufacturing suppliers (EMSs), eM-DFM Expert supports enterprise collaboration by providing facilities for organisational knowledge management.
This harmonisation helps to minimise waste through improved product and process design.
The software features more than 300 design for assembly (DFA) and design for test (DFT) rule checks - making it the most comprehensive available today.
Commenting on the new tool, Mark Verhoeven Business Unit Manager for Halin said: "When compared with other solutions for DFM, Tecnomatix offered the requested total solution, with solutions for assembly planning, factory execution and manufacturing analysis.
With eM-DFM Expert, design and manufacturing can come together.
We can more rapidly analyse product designs for potential manufacturing issues and provide early feedback to our customers, allowing changes to be made before expensive tooling fixtures are ordered.
We will exclude unexpected and unnecessary production stops with DFM.
The result is faster time-to-market, higher quality and reduced integral price for our customers".
Says Israel Levy, CEO of Tecnomatix Unicam: "Our DFx technologies have been developed with partners who have in-depth knowledge of DFM requirements, enabling Tecnomatix to be the only true provider of end-to-end integrated manufacturing process management solutions for the electronics industry.
We have an intimate understanding of the needs and requirements that relate to our customers' electronics manufacturing processes, and the new eM-DFM Expert tool is the latest proof of that commitment".
eM-DFM Expert is available immediately and runs on Microsoft Windows/WinNT 4.0, SP 6.0A.
Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
