Features

• Easy and intuitive to use, with little or no training required.
• Users report increased productivity within "minutes" of first use.
• Support for "in-line" build - have multiple operators working on the same board with each operator placing pre-defined components from the BOM.

BOM

• Built in support for build variants - First create a new variant, then easily select the components you wish to "state" change (available states are: Fit, No-fit or Machine). The required variant is then easily selectable from a drop down list.
• Each BOM variant can be edited within the program or externally using export / import
• Add multiple custom BOM entries or properties
• Move components between BOM entries
• All BOMs can be exported from the software in a simple tab delimited format. Send us your files and the BOM is therefore "sanitised" as part of the service.
• The ability to add BOM columns allowing for addition of component specific notes that can be highlighted within the software (i.e. assy. notes such as "Fit Heatsink").
• All BOMs can be exported in the same simple tab delimited format. Send us your files and we "sanitise" your BOM.

Automatic BOM import checks

When importing a BOM the following checks are performed:

• BOM component quantity equals actual reference count.
• No duplicated references.
• BOM entries have placements.

Comprehensive BOM reporting

• Top/bottom component counts.
• Total BOM entries.
• Component placements with no BOM listing.
• BOM entries with no placements listing.

Production Drawing

• Automatically generated PDF production document.
• Report of design coherency.
• Easy to read BOM table with links to component placement drawings.
• Colour coded placement drawings for each BOM entry type with links back to BOM table.
• Component index with links to BOM table and BOM placement drawings.

Viewer

• Save desktop layout configuration and user defined colour preferences - each user can have individual colours and GUI layout "pre-defined".
• Rotate the image to suit preferred build orientation at any time during the assembly process.
• Flexible GUI configuration, all dialogs can be placed freely and hidden if preferred.

Netlist

These features are available when an IPC356 netlist or suitable ODB++ file is provided:

• Automatic highlighting of pin 1 positions.
• Probing of components and connected pins/nets, including the ability to easily trace through connectivity to locate assembly shorts in test, including via visualisation to aid test probing.
• Clearer component highlighting - all pads of a component highlighted.
