Horsham, PA — Aegis Software has launched its FactoryLogix® version 2017.1. The new version contains many noteworthy advancements across the entire platform. As customers demand higher quality at faster speeds and lower costs, manu- facturers are constantly looking for new ways to optimize quality and resources, while reducing lead times. With new batch-to-batch dependencies,


planners can schedule production batches that have a network of interdependencies to other batches. This ensures sufficient time and inven- tory, minimizing scheduling conflicts and pro- duction delays. A site-to-site portability feature now allows


manufacturers to transfer production processes and the accompanying documentation from one factory to another, eliminating the need to build from scratch. Manufacturers can leverage expertise regardless of location and accelerate time-to-production and time-to-market. An engineer-to-order (ETO) fea-


ture provides the ability to develop fully-managed process exceptions with complete conformance management, including product tracking, material and process traceability, provision of documentation, etc. By leveraging the ability to create on-demand production operations, flows and instructions for units that travel outside the main process, manufacturers can support personalization/customization, miti- gate process disruptions, improve quality, and reduce costs. The new version also offers more barcode and keyboard shortcuts

Beyond optimizing the solder-


ing process itself, other process costs can be trimmed. The reduction of processing time is a small part. Careful material selection can reduce maintenance by a factor of 10. The cost reduction regarding oxide mini- mization is even more significant. “Oxides and lead-tin scabies


must be disposed of as special waste. These costs can be reduced when the oxide is minimized,” says Fehren - bach. “Individual customers pro- duced some 4.4 to 5.5 tons (4,000 to 5,000 kg) of this hazardous waste annually. The introduction of our special inert gas and solder-return nozzles has enabled the share of oxides to be reduced by a hundred- fold each year.” But an eye must also be kept on


the cost of consumables. Flux con- sumption can be reduced and main- tenance controlled through selective and product-specific flux application systems and hermetically sealed flux circuits. EUTECT works to combine sol-


dering, modularity and automation. The company’s soldering systems for enameled copper wires offer cus- tomers a way to eliminate time-con- suming mechanical stripping proces - ses, greatly reduce oxides and lower the cost of maintenance. Contact: EUTECT GmbH,

to frequently-used functions. It also supports voice control, making it easier for operators to perform activities faster, without sacrificing accuracy. To meet the growing demand to simplify


compliance with regulatory requirements, Aegis continues to build on its capabilities of advanced analytics, alerts, triggers, and escalation work- flows. The company now offers out-of-the-box AS9100 reports, preconfigured eDHR reports for medical applications and real-time statisti- cal process control dashboards. The FactoryLogix platform is built with an
