DFM for Electronics NPI
Combine best-in class DFM solutions powered by Valor with manufacturing product modeling to enable the most efficient and cost-effective new product introductions. Validating the PCB design against your suppliers’ capabilities assures highest quality products at the lowest possible costs on the initial release. By shifting manufacturing knowledge into the design process, concurrent DFM is now a reality, streamlining the design-to-manufacturing release process.
Process Preparation for PCB Assembly & Test
Valor Process Preparation creates a single, central database of all manufacturing process definitions and engineering data, providing flexibility to move between machine vendors and manufacturing sites. Acting as a single environment for all manufacturing process stages, Process Preparation ensures data is constantly up-to-date and an error-free manufacturing process.
Production Planning for PCB Assembly
The Valor Production Plan tool creates an easy-to-use yet comprehensive model that allows you to simulate your production process including all SMT and manual stations. Optimization parameters such as due date, production time and changeover can be set, enabling intelligent choices between given plans that fit your exact needs to meet deadlines and avoid downtime. It combines data from the shop floor, ERP systems, and the supply chain, thus enabling accurate short term planning.
Valor Parts Library (VPL)
The Valor Parts Library (VPL) provides accurate physical models of electronic components and connectors used in PCB manufacturing, test and assembly, delivered in a consistent, CAD/CAM-friendly format.
The VPL contains more than 35 million commercial electronic component part numbers, including the dimensioned package model for each part. Use the VPL data to ensure that DFM analysis is based on actual "as built" precision of component spacing and component pin-to-pad contact area.
