Valor to Feature Manufacturing Visibility and Management Software Tools at electronicAmericas 2009

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, CA — May 2009 — Valor Computerized Systems, Inc., global provider of productivity improvement software across the printed circuit board design and manufacturing supply chain, announces that it will feature its vManage, vPlan, Trilogy DFM, and vCheck software in its partner, Hitech Electronica’s booth N26 and N28, at the upcoming electronicAmericas 2009, scheduled to take place June 1-5, 2009 at the Parque Anhembi in São Paulo, Brazil.

Valor’s vManage provides a unique and powerful means to present real-time information focused on achieving manufacturing excellence. Especially designed for line operators, production managers, process engineers, production planners, and equipment maintenance personnel, Valor’s dashboards display the key performance indicators (KPIs) that enable critical visibility into each specific operational environment. The dashboards quickly identify trends or patterns in-progress and help derive the insights needed for early corrective action.

Valor’s Trilogy 5000 software enables comprehensive Design for Manufacturing (DFM) analysis allows engineers to design PCBs with the highest levels of quality and yield. Automated rules driven analysis delivers graphically rich reports for PCB design improvements, enabling the elimination of costly product re-spins and delays in the product development cycle.

vPlan is Valor’s process engineering solution for electronics assembly. Aimed at manufacturers needing to reduce costs and gain more capacity from current assets, Valor delivers a solution for synchronized process engineering in an easy-to-use package. With vPlan, electronics companies can achieve a quantum leap in efficiency and productivity for their PCB assembly operations, in today’s highly dynamic manufacturing environment.

Valor’s Quality Management System (vCheck) is developed specifically for electronics manufacturers who need to minimize the occurrence of non-quality and drive the manufacturing process to optimal performance by balancing quality, throughput and cost. vCheck includes alarms and acceptable quality level (AQL) trigger points to help continuously reduce the defect per million opportunities (DPMO) rate in the manufacturing process, and is designed to increase profitability and customer satisfaction by making all aspects of quality testing and inspection visible to any decision maker.

“Valor is excited to be presenting our software technology to the Brazilian market at the electronicAmericas 2009 tradeshow. Valor’s software solutions combined with the experience of Hitech’s personnel continue to deliver tremendous value to electronics designers and assemblers in Brazil. Our joint attendance at electronicsAmericas 2009 will demonstrate our mutual commitment to our customers’ success in all of Brazil.” said Dan Weitzman, President of the Americas.
