Rochester, NYEMA Design Automation and Ageus Solutions have joined forces to provide environmental compliance solutions from design through manufacturing.

“We’re adding the ability to supply the mechanical portion of RoHS/WEEE compliance,” said Manny Marcano, president and CEO of EMA. “Aligning forces with Ageus allows us to expand our Engineering Data Management (EDM) solution to cover the entire manufactured product, which supports the entire RoHS/WEEE directive.”

EDM allows product development teams to record, manage and report the design and development data used in the creation of manufactured products.

Ageus provides RoHS/WEEE consulting, assessment and process of mechanical components and drawings. The company also has a comprehensive recycling network in Europe.

“RoHS compliance should not be dominating the agenda of electronics companies,” said Bruce Calder, president of Ageus. “Our focus is to seamlessly integrate RoHS/WEEE compliance into engineering systems and business practices allowing electronics companies to keep their focus on the core business of designing, manufacturing and selling electronics products.”
