For Immediate Release – November 2003
UNIVERSAL COLLABORATES WITH AEGIS FOR MONITORING AND
TRACEABILITY
PHILADELPHIA, PA – Aegis Industrial Software, a leader in
electronic assembly software, announces it has joined the Universal
third party software program. Aegis has developed interfaces to
Universal Instruments software to integrate support for Universal
products into the Aegis iMonitor system.
Under this agreement Aegis will utilize standard interfaces in Universal
Instruments manufacturing automation software suite to allow data
retrieval by Aegis monitoring software. Aegis has already developed an
interpreter for Universal’s DMM database structure providing translation
into IPC-standard “CAMX” data. This combined solution, which comprises
Universal’s Line Communicator software system with the Aegis xLink CAMX
transmitter, has been tested and verified for all Universal surface
mount products including GSM UPS+ (Windows based system), GSM UPS (OS/2
based system), and HSP (4796 & 4797).
The combined package offers Aegis end-users a single solution to monitor
real-time data from Universal Surface Mount lines, and leverage this
information with Aegis web-based product tracking, component
traceability, quality, and SPC solutions.
In the future, integration with Universal’s programming tools will
simplify the access to Universal machines from Aegis programming tools.
Aegis NPI tools will interface seamlessly with Universal Instruments’
GSM platform products and the HSP chipshooter range.
