Description

BluePrint-PCB® seamlessly integrates with your PCB CAD system and/or CAM350® to facilitate the rapid generation of detailed electronic drawings essential for the processes of PCB fabrication, assembly, and inspection. This innovative tool recognizes its task of producing a PCB document and efficiently imports the complete PCB CAD database in a single action, enabling the automatic creation and linking of countless PCB views and details while preserving design intelligence and surpassing limitations typically encountered with both PCB and mechanical CAD systems. Consequently, the result is an electronic document that more effectively communicates the necessary instructions for successful PCB manufacturing. Users can automatically generate PCB views, details, and tables directly from PCB CAD data, eliminating the restrictions of traditional PCB CAD while maintaining the integrity of the design. Furthermore, it leverages PCB intelligence to produce common drawing elements and allows the creation of dynamic and engaging documentation that includes hyperlinks and multimedia content. Additionally, all relevant information regarding the PCB assembly is consolidated into a single electronic “release package,” enhancing organization and accessibility. This comprehensive approach not only streamlines the PCB manufacturing workflow but also fosters improved collaboration among teams.

Description

Optel's Graphical Documentation (GDOC) offers a digital solution for graphical work instructions related to box-build, circuit assembly, rework, and QA inspection, eliminating the need for paper. This innovative system enables the assignment of assembly instructions and various multimedia elements at both the component and assembly levels. Users can incorporate diverse content such as text, images, videos, documents, and hyperlinks, all while benefiting from a graphical editor designed for engineers and a viewer tailored for operations, with all instructions securely stored in the Optel database. The tool supports a hierarchical Bill of Materials (BOM), facilitating the creation of work instructions for complex product assemblies that may include multiple circuit assemblies or subassemblies. Moreover, GDOC encompasses the entire manual assembly process, from scheduling and line balancing to generating targeted documents for each operator on the assembly line. It also offers flexibility, allowing customers to adopt GDOC for a single manual station or to oversee and manage several manual assembly lines simultaneously, making it a versatile choice for various manufacturing needs. This adaptability ensures that GDOC can meet the specific requirements of each operation efficiently.
