Productivity Software
Mentor Graphics the worlds leading Electronics Industry Software supplier
has solutions to cover all the needs of the Electronics Manufacturer to becomethe best they can be.
In Australia/NZ high-mix low volume production environment is the norm, which it even more crucial that systematic approaches to managing the factory floor to squeeze out every cost from the assembly process. This is true be it a CEM handling many customers and types of products or OEMs producing their own products and looking to go lean in all aspects of their production.
The electronics industry is a data driven business and doing things manually , or relying on un-synchronised software solutions is simply not the way forward.

DFM optimization in design and manufacturing
At each successive step of the New Product Introduction (NPI) process, the cost of rectifying a product design problem increases tenfold. The Valor NPI platform provides comprehensive DFM analysis that you can apply concurrently with your design flow for maximum advantage, or at entry to manufacturing.
Resolve manufacturability issues early in the process to save time and money
For PCB designers, Valor NPI provides concurrent DFM analysis during the design process, applying upwards of 700 manufacturing rules to your design to ensure minimum revision spins in manufacturing. The DFM analysis flow can be set up to automatically analyse each new version and pinpoint all potential manufacturing problems directly in the CAD system. For manufacturing NPI and process engineers, Valor NPI provides comprehensive analysis of how new products match the fabrication, assembly and test processes, including BOM and AVL analysis, for rapid feedback to the design customer.
Coupled with Valor VPL Library this tool provides the ‘best in industry’ automated DFM coverage for your NPI DFM Services.
ROI for Valor NPI include….
- Lower DFM review costs, actual DFM coverage vs labor costs.
- Covers more DFM related detail than can be done manually.
- Provide systematic-repeatible DFM Analysis based on supplier and internal requirements.
- For OEM’s , it means concurrent engineering becomes part of quality systems from design inception.
- For CEM’s , tool allows professional comprehensive value added concurrent engineering services to be offered to clients.
- Verify AVL parts for DFM impact before purchaing parts.
- Get right first time philospophy.

The Valor MSS Process Preparation module is a complete engineering solution for DFx, process development and test engineering for PCB assembly operations. It improves the efficiency and quality of PCB assembly with tools such as optimized front-end DFA analysis, BOM validation, stencil design, SMT programming and line balancing. Supports ALL major SMT machine vendors from basic exports to full machine optimisation models and full machine part data management.
Accelerate and Streamline engineering tasks
with production-optimized data….
Valor MSS Process Preparation facilitates complete setup of your manufacturing line for a new product build, streamlining the flow of SMT, through-hole technology (THT) and other manufacturing processes. The software can be easily configured for the type of user and your particular workflow.
The module creates engineering outputs for each product, based on a central database of engineering data, ODB++, BOM files and manufacturing process definitions. By using a common data model, Valor MSS Process Preparation ensures coordinated, error-free outputs for assembly test and inspection.
- Balanced production lines and a balanced factory ensure optimum efficiency
- Machines operate more efficiently with less waste due to process management automation
- Line set-up and planning are much quicker with the help of the tool
- Integration of preparation and analysis tools provides “right-first-time” new product preparation
- Quicker setup for SMT, and electrical test and inspection means reduced cost and greater throughput
- Extensive DFA analysis ensures reduced ICT fixture cost and fewer board spins
- Automatically compile manufacturing and customer documentation, improving communications internally and with the customer
- Supports Juki HLC, Mydata TPsys2.4 and up, including new MY100 Series, Mirae MX Series, Yamaha , Fuji, Universal, Assembleon, Hitachi, Panasonic and others.
