Integrated shopfloor data collection ups yield

Latest in Manufacturing Process Management (MPM) software solutions is a powerful, integrated shop-floor data collection and analysis tool that will help electronics manufacturers improve yield.

Latest in Manufacturing Process Management (MPM) software solutions from Tecnomatix Unicam is a powerful, integrated shop-floor data collection and analysis tool that will help electronics manufacturers to improve yields and reduce defects in real time.

Packaged as eM-Quality 2.2, the software tool adds to the capabilities of the Tecnomatix Technologies eMPower Execution Systems solution.

It provides users with a fault-tolerant user interface management system, enhanced engineering change order functionality and in-process route editing capability.

This added functionality will better enable electronics manufacturers to collect and report process defect data in real time.

It can be used to support Six Sigma quality projects, for example in circuit board assembly and box-build failure, by replacing traditional error collection methods that relied on written notes or text keyboard entry.

Tecnomatix eMPower Execution Systems provide an end-to-end, Web-based solution for real-time collecting, sharing, analysing and managing the performance of assembly operations across the extended enterprise.

This suite of applications provides drill-down capabilities with real-time access to shop floor data for proactive, data-driven visibility and knowledge management.

eMPower Execution Systems help manufacturers reach higher levels of quality by enforcing processes and correcting problems early in the manufacturing process.

"Moving to eMPower eM-Quality was an obvious choice for us," said Sanjay Rajan, senior manager of quality engineering at Harris Corporation, an international communications equipment company that provides product, system, and service solutions for commercial and government customers.

"As we broaden and expand our extended data collection and quality assurance programs, we expect eM-Quality to play a significant role in the continuous improvement of our manufacturing processes.
