Feb 16, 2001 Aegis Industrial Software, developer of the industry benchmark CircuitCAM process engineering software, and FUSION Web-Centric TransCollaborative software, announces an OEM agreement with Omron Electronics, LLC. Under this agreement, CircuitCAM will be the only CIM product that Omron Electronics will recommend to its customers for CAD, Gerber, and ASCII/Centroid data conversion. Omron will offer CircuitCAM software with its VT-WIN Printed Circuit Board Inspection System to allow total integration into a CIM environment. The VT-WIN System is a high speed, in-line inspection and verification system that identifies production errors and increases overall plant efficiency.
Jim Fishburn, the General Manager of Omron Electronics Inspection Systems said, "Our OEM agreement with Aegis Industrial Software will reduce programming time for our customers. It is a value added solution for the conversion of CAD, Gerber, ASCII/Centroid and other PCB design file formats into a standard file format compatible with the Omron line of printed circuit board inspection systems."
Jason Spera, Chief Executive Officer of Aegis said, "Aegis is pleased to supply its CAD/CAM technology to Omron and its customers as an efficiency enhancement for product introductions and engineering changes. This OEM agreement also allows the seamless integration of Omron equipment into Aegis' web-centric, trans-collaborative manufacturing systems. Having Omron systems integrated with our technology is a significant benefit to our mutual customers."
