Enterprise 3000 is a unique, virtual manufacturing system, which enables OEMs to simulate the entire production process, from design to manufacturing to assembly, concurrently with the design process. With Enterprise 3000, designs are optimized for excellence using a physical design model of the PCB assembly - revision spins are practically eliminated, and you benefit from faster times to market and improved product quality.
The secret to the elegant functionality of Enterprise 3000 is Valor-developed ODB++, the most intelligent format for data exchange. ODB++ consolidates CAD/EDA intelligence and the PCB manufacturing knowledge base into a single, open, expandable database. Vertical integration throughout the electronics interconnect industry is finally achieved, with ODB++ delivering a simple, yet intelligent and powerful bridge between design and manufacturing.
The Enterprise 3000 interfaces directly with the Cadence
® PCB design flow, capturing all manufacturing data and making it accessible to the Cadence Allegro
® system interconnect design platform. By offering direct access from Enterprise 3000 into the Cadence Allegro PCB Editor database,
Allegro PCB Editor captures all design attributes automatically. Information can be obtained directly from the Valor environment without the need to revisit Gerber files. Since communication is direct at the input phase, the system captures all of the original design intelligence, including graphical objects, components, attributes, geometry names, hole plating status, etc. Old-style interfacing methods based on multiple unintelligent files are bypassed.
Enterprise 3000 couples high-level ODB++ data with easy-to-implement automation for running fully repeatable, rules-based fabrication and assembly analysis and yield optimization actions, problematic areas are found and corrected before the design goes out.
Enterprise 3000 makes it easy to design for excellence by providing tools which elevate the efficiency of your current layout process. You can easily go back and forth between Enterprise 3000 and your original layout system to incorporate changes in the original data or pinpoint any problematic area at its source - with effortless, one-touch graphic synchronization between Enterprise 3000's Graphic Station and the original EDA system.
It's easy to integrate your suppliers' manufacturing tolerances into your design process; and you achieve zero-defects with the first prototype. Output the final design in yield-optimized ODB++, with confidence that all the intelligence has been retained - and that it won't be coming back for revisions.
