BRUSSELS – Valor Computerized
Systems has implemented its DFM software at Siemens Bocholt in Germany, the
company said today.
In a press release, Siemens said it chose the Valor tool for
its extensive DfM analysis and checking capabilities. “We also wanted to
improve data management and bidirectional communication with our bare board
manufacturer.” The tool has cut setup time and costs and improved handling of
manufacturing change orders.
Valor’s DFM software is based on Enterprise 3000 and simulates production from
design through manufacture to assembly. Designs are optimized using a physical
design model of the PCB assembly to reduce revision spins.
