What’s new in UniCam FX 11 New product introduction software for electronics manufacturing

Summary

UniCam FX is the most commonly used new product introduction (NPI) software tool for design and optimization of printed circuit board (PCB) assembly processes.

UniCam FX covers the entire NPI process, from computer-aided design (CAD) and bill- of-materials (BOM) import through recipe generation, and supports single-platform and mixed-vendor lines. This proven solution helps continuously improve your NPI process and maximize the uptime and throughput of your lines.

UniCam FX provides machine recipe generation and setup optimization, document creation, and paperless delivery to the shop floor. It allows you to manage existing products and introduce new products to your manufacturing shop floor faster and more efficiently.

UniCam FX workflow-driven processes move data quickly from design to the shop floor with easy-to-use, standardized tools that reduce production errors and improve productivity.

What’s new in this release

• CAD recognition

• XML reports

• Usability improvements

• New machine interfaces

• Support for Windows 8 CAD Recoginition

The new CAD Recognition function automatically detects the CAD file that is being read into UniCam FX. CAD

Recognition is an optional feature for users that want to eliminate the step of finding the CAD type in the list of the supported CAD systems or are unsure of the program that was used to create the file that they are importing.

XML Reports

UniCam FX Crystal Reports are being replaced with cascading style sheets (CSS) and XML data. The use of XML data is a software-independent tool for storing data and will allow users to easily customize reports using standard XML style sheet transformations (XSLT).

Users will be able to transform the XML documents into other XML documents, or other formats such as HTML for webpages, plain text or into XSL formatting objects, which may subsequently be converted to other formats, such as PDF, postscript and PNG.

Usability improvements

• The ability to easily access the current

job directory from the Quick Menu
