On-time delivery is the heartbeat of every profitable manufacturing enterprise; the key to meeting delivery requirements lies in planning and reducing engineering time. Valor solutions enable this throughout the PCB assembly process. Valor DFM and Electronic Parts Library help to close the gap between design and manufacturing, while Process Preparation and Production Planning eliminate guesswork and create a truly optimized setup plan and production sequence for the entire factory.
Valor Design-for-Manufacturing (DFM) Solutions
Valor design-for-manufacturing solutions reduce the number of re-spins in a PCB design, reducing your project risk while allowing your product to generate revenue much sooner.
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.
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 over a billion 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.
ODB++Design
ODB++Design is an intelligent format for transferring PCB design data to manufacturing. ODB++Design saves time and effort compared to legacy formats, and produces higher quality data for manufacturing.
Valor Process Engineering Solutions
Valor process engineering solutions simplify the delivery of high quality, consistent surface mount technology (SMT) process collateral, empowering you to efficiently meet the engineering demands of high-mix, low-volume production.
BOM Connector
Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) companies need to provide quotations for many more projects than those that make it into production. Valor BOM Connector is a new solution to reduce the time it takes to create accurate quotations for printed circuit board assemblies.
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.
