Tecnomatix for High Tech & Electronics Execution is the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) custom designed for PCB and box assembly manufacturers. Provided in modules or as an entire integrated MES suite, Tecnomatix for High Tech & Electronics Execution covers the entire range of requirements for electronics production management including traceability and RoHS compliance support. Tecnomatix for High Tech & Electronics Execution is a web-based solution that provides manufacturers with visibility to key performance indicators (KPIs) for real-time control of manufacturing processes at the plant or across an enterprise.

Managing the Shop Floor: Instilling Process Discipline

Electronics manufacturing has become more challenging than ever - with shorter product lifecycles, more complex product mixes, and increased regulatory and OEM customer requirements. Manufacturers need to instill a level of discipline on their shop floor to ensure that cost and delivery targets are met consistently. Enforcing discipline through documented procedures and periodic audits has already proven to be ineffective. Tecnomatix for High Tech & Electronics Execution provides automated shop floor management by enforcing key manufacturing rules during setup, assembly, test and repair - thus ensuring that processes are executed as planned, to meet delivery and cost challenges.

Managing the Shop Floor: Decision Support that Actually Matters

Manual methods of data collection and quality management with standalone systems delay root-cause analysis and result in ineffective "after-the-fact" corrective action recommendations. By automating data collection from every resource on the shop floor, including direct parsing from equipment and presenting the data in an easy-to-analyze form, Tecnomatix for High Tech & Electronics Execution allows correction of processes before they become out of control. With expanded visibility provided by real-time collection, notifications and alarms, the solution allows manufacturers to make data-driven decisions that actually make a difference.

Managing the Shop Floor: Complete Final Assembly Control

Manufacturers must be able to verify the build process, manage ECO implementation and deliver required work instructions for the box level just as they would at the board level. With increased after-sale service requirements, along with environmental legislation, it is more important that all components and histories of a product build are captured and known. Tecnomatix for High Tech & Electronics Execution enables manufacturers to capture and manage changes in the genealogy of a full system build and manages quality, disassembly, reconfiguration and repair throughout the product lifecycle.

Managing the Shop Floor: Meeting Traceability Requirements

Neither ERP/MRP nor disconnected shop floor systems are able to provide full traceability of the production history as required by customers and industry legislations. Tecnomatix for High Tech & Electronics Execution enables you to capture every aspect of the manufacturing process, from materials to production processes, whether at the board level or the entire system build, thus providing full product and process traceability. Deploying Tecnomatix for High Tech & Electronics Execution helps manufacturers to limit the scope of product recalls and reduces associated recall costs, while providing for compliance to a variety of environmental and safety regulations across all segments of the industry thereby mitigating manufacturing liability.

Supporting Lead-Free Assembly on the Shop Floor

As the RoHS deadline is fast approaching, electronics manufacturers have focused their efforts on sourcing lead-free parts and solving technical process issues in order to produce compliant products. However, manufacturers are still unprepared for the range of issues that will impact manufacturing performance as the industry migrates to lead-free assembly - in terms of material handling, implementing waves of ECOs to replace tin-lead parts, and anticipated quality and reliability issues. By providing a solution that eliminates part number/marking confusion, manages dual inventories (lead-based as well as lead-free), tracks ECOs, monitors and verifies processes, and manages quality, Tecnomatix for High Tech & Electronics Execution supports full lead-free traceability and compliance declaration.

Managing the Shop Floor with a Complete and Integrated Solution

Standalone point solutions traditionally deployed on shop floors are inadequate for today's manufacturing environments, due to the exponential increase in shop floor events and transactions while coping with challenging delivery and cost targets. Only an integrated set of manufacturing execution capabilities can adequately cope with today's manufacturing realities. Tecnomatix for High Tech & Electronics Execution supports full lead-free traceability and compliance declaration.

Key benefits of the Tecnomatix Electronics MES solution:
