Overview

The world of electronics manufacturing for PCB design and assembly has changed forever. Gone are the days when manufacturing engineers are hamstrung by designs that cannot be profitably built.

Gone are the days when production lines slow to a crawl while waiting on materials to be delivered. Gone are the days of operating blind while a process continues to produce errors waiting on quality reports. Gone are the phone calls from angry customers because deliveries are delayed. Gone are the embarrassing meetings where you cannot pinpoint the corrective actions needed to make improvements.

What used to be a pleasant fiction has now become a reality. A reality born by the first legitimate cross fertilization of design automation and manufacturing solutions. Mentor Graphics has successfully extended the reach of design automation into the shop floor for an integrated front-to-back, design-to-delivery solution.

This solution is powered by Valor’s state of the art manufacturing execution software. Mentor’s acquisition of Valor creates a new paradigm of manufacturing solutions that will stretch the capabilities of your factory.

This webinar will highlight the benefits to the electronics industry of full factory integration that creates flexibility, performance, visibility and actionable intelligence to improve your business.

What You Will Learn

How the state of the art in manufacturing execution software can:

  • Improve delivery
  • Reduce waste
  • And elevate factory performance in electronics manufacturing at both the board level and system level assembly, without adding more capital equipment
