Software solutions will improve quality, traceability, and support and help a manufacturer of DC/DC power conversion equipment to meet Six Sigma factory execution system standards.

Tecnomatix Technologies, the driving force in Manufacturing Process Management (MPM) software solutions, today announced that di/dt of Carlsbad, California, a technology leader in high-performance DC/DC power conversion, will use the eMPower suite of MPM solutions from Tecnomatix Unicam, to improve quality and traceability in its manufacturing processes Tecnomatix Unicam is a wholly owned subsidiary of Tecnomatix

Through the use of eMPower Execution Systems and eMPower PCB Assembly and Test solutions from Tecnomatix Unicam, di/dt will be able to enhance quality and component traceability on every part they make.

These solutions will also enable di/dt to improve efficiencies and customer support, and help them reach the highest levels of quality by process enforcement and early detection and correction of process variations.

di/dt will use eMPower PCB Assembly and Test solutions to automate their surface mount technology set up and programming.

Data collection and analysis features of eMPower Execution Systems solutions will automate data collection (including Pass/Fail and variable data), analysis, and reporting to better track, manage and report on work in progress and component traceability across the extended enterprise.

Over time, di/dt intends to establish a manufacturing execution system standard for future sites to adopt for collaborative design, manufacture and management.

MPM solutions from Tecnomatix Unicam are expected to be a cornerstone of this initiative, helping to manage the performance and quality of assembly operations across the extended enterprise.

"Up until now, our data collection, analysis and reporting lacked the integration and automation to positively support a fully automated manufacturing environment," said Stephen Deakins, chief financial officer and vice president of operations at di/dt.

"We expended a great deal of effort seeking and evaluating solutions to integrate all of our soft and hardware systems into an efficient tool.

Tecnomatix eMPower technology is that tool, and after full implementation, we will have 'real-time' vision into our manufacturing processes, significantly reducing our costs and maximizing our yields.

With this capability we will be able to improve our customer-focused, data driven methodologies for delivering superior customer service and Six Sigma quality levels." "di/dt's strong commitment to quality, accountability and customer service are a perfect match for Tecnomatix Unicam's MPM solutions," said Israel Levy, chief executive officer of Tecnomatix Unicam.

"In the highly competitive manufacturing industry, it is imperative for companies to understand customer needs, operate and change in real time and continuously enhance operational efficiencies across their facilities.

We look forward to growing with di/dt and working with them on additional projects, and to be their full-service MPM solution provider over time." Tecnomatix Technologies (NASDAQ: TCNO) is the driving force in Manufacturing Process Management (MPM).

Today's leading global manufacturers are adopting MPM solutions to expand revenue potential and reduce costs by enhancing manufacturing's ability to support the business strategy of choice.

These companies are using Tecnomatix eMPower MPM solutions to accelerate product introductions, shorten time to volume, and optimize production execution.

eMPower enables our customers to succeed with its collaborative, open platform and applications for defining, simulating, managing, and executing manufacturing processes across the extended enterprise.
