    Design for Manufacturing & NPI

    PCB New Product Introduction (NPI)

    Accelerate your new product introductions with integrated DFM and manufacturing product modeling.

     

    • Intelligent, automated DFM leads to more efficient DFM analysis
    • Access industry’s largest component library for solder validation with virtual prototyping
    • Most comprehensive DFM analysis covers fabrication, assembly, test, flex/rigid-flex, substrate, and panel
    • Xpedition designers can now receive the benefits of the industry’s best and most comprehensive DFM solution without having to learn another application.
    • Identifies aspects of the PCB design that impact yield, cost, and reliability
    • Easily create assembly panels optimized for material savings
    • Analysis of manufacturing BOM against design assures no discrepancies which can be costly when found later
    • Validation for fit of all qualified parts in Approved Vendor List (AVL)

    Standardizing PCB =  € 700.000 Savings

    For many EMS companies in Benelux and Scandinavia, operational complexity is increasing:

    • Multiple production sites
    • Different machine vendors
    • Local engineering workflows
    • High labor costs
    • Increasing pressure on NPI speed

    Connect Group NV, a multinational EMS organization with 2,000 employees and €150M turnover, faced exactly these challenges. Their objective was clear: “My goal was to standardize and unify manufacturing operations in all of our sites.”
    — Wouter Peene, Operations Manager

    The Challenge:

    • Different tools across sites prevented easy project transfer
    • Incomplete and manual workflows
    • Software tools lacking full machine connectivity 

    This situation is recognizable for many EMS companies operating across Europe. The Solution: Connect Group implemented a company-wide digital preparation strategy using: Valor Process Preparation, Valor NPI, Valor Parts Library and BOM Connector.

    All part of the Siemens Digital Industries Software portfolio. The goal: standardize processes across all sites, enable seamless project transfer, reduce engineering time, and increase quality.
