PRESS RELEASE ARCHIVE
For Immediate Release – January 2006
AEGIS ADDS MECHANICAL CAD AND BOX BUILD CAPABILITY TO
ITS END-TO-END NPI AND MES SYSTEM
PHILADELPHIA, PA – Aegis Industrial Software Corporation, the leader in
Manufacturing Information Management Systems is pleased to introduce the
“MCAD” system. This significant system enhancement uniquely answers the
increasing customer demand for an end-to-end NPI through MES solution
supporting electronics assembly, system integration, and box build. An
integral part of the greater Aegis factory information system, it
supports box and mechanical product documentation, tracking, quality,
and materials management as elegantly as the solution currently supports
circuit card product launch and manufacturing execution. Aegis customers
may now support any discrete assembly processes—from circuit boards to
full system level assembly—in a single information system.
MCAD functionality is inherently incorporated within Aegis’ web-centric
manufacturing execution system (MES). Shop-floor operators may now step
through and drill into iView's existing sequential assembly process
feature with intelligent cross-reference to the mechanical components.
Aegis MES also supports multi-level assemblies and material setup
validation at any work station, and these assemblies are now better
depicted in the visual aids.
Jason Spera, Aegis’ CEO commented on the release, “Our customers find
value in the Aegis philosophy of support for the maximum scope of
factory information and execution functions. This MCAD system is a
direct response to this customer expectation, and is the result of the
highest ranking customer enhancement request received by Aegis in the
last 24 months. It constitutes a significant extension of our solution
to support the entirety of the manufacturing floor and process.”
Features and Benefits include:
• Support for common mechanical CAD vector file formats,
• Simple digitizing allows 2D capture from a 3D drawing with the desired
user-controlled perspective.
• A mechanical Shape Library permits re-use of commonly used items and
components, such as screws, spacers, nuts, etc.
• A dynamic color-coded parts list display in the visual aids provides
easy cross-referencing to the drawing in the same manner used for
circuit board visual aids.
Aegis’ MCAD module is a cost option available in the upcoming 6.1
release, and existing customers have been offered this option at no
charge.*
