Pity the manufacturing engineer in today's electronics company. The design department sends over some Gerber files and perhaps a CSV file and says "ok manufacturing data all sent". But the manufacturer knows thats not the end of the story - its barely the beginning. The data must be evaluated, prepared and converted. Then all the machines need to be programmed. Lots of bottlenecks await - rotations not matching, panels need to be created, stencil rules applied, etc. And at the end of all a document showing all steps with color codes and legends must be created, often manually in Word.
And all this, while the Production Planners yell "you got the data on Monday, its already Tuesday, why can't we start production".
Valor Process Preparation is the industry leader in what used to be called "Data Prep" but is now more accurately defined as "Industrial Engineering". It is the vital link between design and manufacutring. Done properly, production goes smoothly for which the Industrial Engineer rarely reeived credit. Dont incorrectly, manufacturing issues abound, for which the Industrial Engineer normally carries the blame.
By streamlining the process and offering a true Digital Twin of the product thanks to the unique Valor Parts Libraray, Valor Process Prep can substantially reduce the time required and increase the quality of the finished product.
