Spectral response upgrades to Valor's vPlan for DFM and machine programming

Valor Computerized Systems Ltd, the leader in productivity-enhancing software solutions for the electronics industry, has been awarded an upgrade contract by Spectral Response, Inc. to provide vPlan - Valor's next-generation, enterprise-level process engineering software solution for electronics assembly.

vPlan will enable Spectral Response to achieve faster transition from NPI to full production with seamless coverage for all their production lines, including Siemens, Fuji, Universal and Panasonic machines, and will also help them to increase OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) through new breakthroughs in process automation.

Spectral Response, a US-based Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) provider, has already been using Trilogy 5000 - Valor's first-generation NPI solution. The upgrade to vPlan will put Spectral Response at the forefront of technology with new capabilities such as auto-generation of machine shapes from Valor's Part Library (VPL).

vPlan is a revolutionary solution for synchronized process engineering in an easy to use package. It is a single solution that delivers a complete, seamless engineering process from CAD to machine, covering SMT, Through Hole Technology and manual assembly. It also delivers complete comprehensive and synchronized Manufacturing Process Definitions (MPD) to the production floor, and automatically generates machine specific libraries on demand (registered patent).
