Universal, Valor Partner for Software Integration
October 23, 2007 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. and YAVNE, Israel Universal Instruments Corporation (UIC) and Valor Computerized Systems Ltd. collaborated to develop Dimensions Data Prep Studio, a new product introduction (NPI) and assembly software control package for UIC equipment users. The software integrates UIC's Dimensions Programming and Optimization (DPO) tooling with Valor's vPlan production planning product.
Using Valor's data-preparation technology to import bill of materials (BOM), computer-aided design (CAD), and Gerber design files into UIC's machines enhances flexibility and efficiency in electronics assembly, said Greg Benoit, product manager of Dimensions line-level software, UIC. The equipment supplier also expects Valor customers to be inclined to select UIC pick-and-place and related assembly systems based on complete integration with their design layout and materials set.
Melding design and production planning software with capital equipment leads to a more dynamic manufacturing environment, added Julian Coates, VP, assembly market, Valor. The Dimensions Data Prep Studio offering includes comprehensive CAD/CAM translation, advanced Gerber support, and view/verify features to examine results as a graphical representation of the PCB or substrate.
For more information, visit Valor's Website, www.valor.com, or UIC's, www.uic.com. Both companies will highlight the software product when it debuts at Productronica, November 1114 in Munich.
