As part of its comprehensive Trilogy 5000 solution Valor�s best-in-class DFM (Design for Manufacturability) technology delivers an unmatched pre-manufacturing verification analysis to optimize the CAD to manufacturing data flow, resulting in fewer manufacturing-level revision spins. Design-to-assembly workflow cycles are accelerated, and right-first-time manufacturing of highly complex PCB designs becomes a reality. Based on Trilogy 5000 DFM validation procedures, users can now offer added-value NPI services to their OEM customer base, responding to their demands for ever decreasing product-life-cycles, time-to-market pressures and increased technological complexity.
Trilogy 5000 consolidates all incoming design data (CAD) and logistical data (BOM) into a single intelligent ODB++ database for engineering processing, enabling users to efficiently process incoming jobs from multiple sources and to seamlessly distribute them among the users� production facilities based on a common data standard. Venture will initially use the Trilogy 5000 solution at their North American and Asian manufacturing facilities, as part of the corporate wide standardization of DFM and NPI services.
Valor�s Trilogy 5000 solution is a key element for users to offer a faster design to assembly process flow with increased product quality and production yields, all leading to accelerated NPI services for their clients. One of the key advantages of the Valor solution is the translation of CAD data into the ODB++ format, which allows users to process jobs in a consistent and validated format, and to reduce manufacturing-level errors and costly design revision spins. Valor�s BOM management tools adds tremendous value to ensure that many critical BOM/AVL related problems are identified and managed early in the process.
Julian Coates, Valor�s executive vice president of corporate marketing and product management commented on the Venture contract �This agreement illustrates our strategy to provide coherent and comprehensive software solutions to the PCB manufacturing industry, providing measurable increases of productivity, yields and quality to our clients. I am confident that Valor�s Trilogy 5000 solution will enable Venture to optimize their design-to-manufacturing workflow integration on a corporate level and enable them to offer extended quality and service offerings to their large customer base, especially through accelerated and enhanced NPI services.�
