Combining New Product Introduction and Manufacturing Execution Capabilities, Newly Integrated Offering Improves Product Delivery, Cost and Quality While Ensuring Regulatory Compliance
PLANO, Texas, Nov. 15 - UGS Corp., a leading global provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services, today announced Tecnomatix(TM) for Electronics Version 7 software, the company's first integrated suite of digital manufacturing software solutions custom designed for the global electronics industry.
Designated as "Version 7" to align it with the entire family of UGS' Tecnomatix solutions, Tecnomatix for Electronics automates and streamlines all key product planning and execution processes enabling global electronics manufacturers to systematically enhance product delivery, cost and quality in an increasingly competitive industry and challenging regulatory environment. The Tecnomatix for Electronics suite combines several digital manufacturing software products previously offered by UGS as individual solutions for printed circuit board (PCB) assembly, final assembly and manufacturing execution.
As a result, UGS can focus this newly packaged offering in the areas of new product introduction (NPI) and manufacturing execution systems (MES) while providing a level of functional integration and coordination of the suite's development and release. The resulting solution helps companies face challenges such as increasing demands for new and innovative products, shrinking delivery schedules and regulatory compliance requirements.
"With the new release of Tecnomatix for Electronics, UGS is uniquely positioned to address our electronics customers' core manufacturing requirements while facilitating compliance to increasingly stringent regulatory directives," said Al Hufstetler, director of Tecnomatix Marketing for UGS. "UGS is committed to helping all of its customers transform their process of innovation by offering them world leading comprehensive and robust PLM software and services. Tecnomatix for Electronics continues this strategy by further enhancing UGS' digital manufacturing family of solutions."
Integrated functionality tailored to electronics industry needs
By combining multiple software products into an integrated suite, Tecnomatix for Electronics provides the electronics manufacturing industry with end-to-end solutions for planning and executing manufacturing processes:
o RoHS (Lead-Free) Compliance support
As the RoHS deadline approaches, manufacturers will need to declare
compliance and back their declarations with proof by way of
traceability and process control on the shop-floor. UGS has worked
with global customers in developing MES solutions that facilitate
compliance strategies by assuring that production is compliant from
component level through final product assembly.
o Stockroom to ship traceability
Tecnomatix for Electronics provides a custom designed traceability
solution for electronics manufacturing by collecting stockroom to
shipping traceability at the component, board, surface mount
technology (SMT) line and final box assembly level. All related
production history is captured and archived with on-demand
traceability reports that dramatically reduce risk of product recalls.
o Real-time production control
As a web-based, out-of-the box solution, Tecnomatix for Electronics
can interface directly with today's electronics shop-floor, including
the most commonly used production equipment, enabling real-time
production control and improving overall equipment efficiency.
Tecnomatix for Electronics offers manufacturers full visibility
allowing processes to be controlled in real-time.
o Improve business metrics by integrating with enterprise business
applications
Realize the true potential of enterprise ERP/MRP investments by
feeding back accurate inventory, labor, and WIP status enabling
manufacturers to make informed decisions and to execute as planned.
o Facilitates continuous process improvement
By designing, capturing and reusing best manufacturing strategies that
eliminate errors during production launch and shorten the durations of
NPI efforts, Tecnomatix for Electronics helps manufacturers "get it
right the first time."
o Optimize line setup for high mix production
With shorter production lifecycles many manufacturers are facing
numerous product changeovers on a daily basis leading to excessive
down-time. Tecnomatix for Electronics allows manufacturers to achieve
common setup across several manufacturing jobs which may result in
some cases in significantly increased manufacturing uptimes of 50% or
more.
o Enhanced test engineering
Perform upfront design for test and increase test coverage and job
turnover while eliminating test process bottlenecks. Building on the
industry's leading test solution, Tecnomatix for Electronics now
incorporates more features with greater user flexibility resulting in
improved testability at the board level.
