LOS ANGELES – Cimnet Systems Inc. and Direct Logix are now offering a bundled version of the companies’ respective engineering planning and management software.

The companies announced the move at a press conference during the IPC Apex show this week.

The combined solution is said to completely automate front-end operations, from quoting to pre-production engineering and design. 

The bundled front-end automation tool includes Cimnet’s i-Quote Web-enabled PCB quotation system, and Direct Logix’s CAM Automation, Design Rule Check Analysis and Engineering Flow Control tools.

“This is a very powerful solution backed by two vendors that are directly focused on the unique needs and business requirements of leading PCB manufacturers around the world,” said Cimnet general manager Mehul Davé.

Cimnet is supplier of ERP software and services for the PCB industry. Direct Logix provides engineering procedure management software.
