Control Center Engineering Software

 

Best in industry Product width


Manufacturing – Design – Assembly – We have a complete and integrated solution

The Consumerization of electronics has been the driving force for innovation in both semiconductor and system OEM companies to address the demand for functionality convergence. As a result, electronics products today include combinations of complex low-power, low-cost packages and miniature, high-speed printed circuit boards.

This presents tremendous challenges for electronics teams tasked with developing and delivering these products to market.

Our solutions teams with everything they need to get their jobs done effectively— from integrated flows to engineering chain management to services—all of which combined reduce quality and functionality risks while improving predictability. In addition, Direct Logix offers engineering design services to help customers meet their broader business and project goals

Automatic Traveler Generator
– ATG 1000 –

Use this product to generate a rules-driven manufacturing work instructions set (i.e. Lot Card/Traveler/Batchcard). View the instructions electronically or print them as hard copies.  Fully integrated with your ERP system, the operations list is transferred to the site manufacturing system. Product attributes, specific notes, standard instructions and graphic attachments form an integral part of the instructions.  Easily imported into leading shop floor control systems. 

Prerequisites EDM, DPB

Typical training days 3

Design Data Manager
– DDM 1000 –

 The integrated solution for storage, retrieval and ITAR data control. A multi user document repository (knowledgebase) , document manager and/or document management system (DMS) for publishing of files/documents onto the web for a corporation, single factory, group of people, or just for yourself.  A document can be any type of electronic document or file that the user can access from their computer.  Once documents have been captured by the system users have numerous options.  All these facilities are easily available through the use of an Internet Browser. 

Prerequisites EDM

Typical training days 2

DF(X) Communicator
– DFX 1000 –

Software package enables graphical review of all stored production DFM attributes, without accessing the graphics environment.  Allows for the creation of graphical PCB Fabrication, PCA assembly, and mechanical DF(x) report with action items, owner, status, cost and threaded discussions.  Supports a variety of PCB Layout and other systems. 

Prerequisites EDM and IRM

Typical training days 2

 

 

Dynamic Page Builder
– DPM 1000 –

Allows users to develop and deploy custom web pages to the factory floor with access to full engineering knowledge base.  Allows for the combination of fields from internal as well as external databases.  Provides the systems engineer with a incredibly powerful automation tool to build custom in house applications.  Full support for custom javascript widgets such as calculators, etc… 

Prerequisites CCS

Typical training days 1

Design Release Manager
– DRM 1000 –

Provides the mechanisms to create an external users in the system, login, segregated user data, define job matrix set up information.  This allows for the automation of the delivery of DF(x) reports. Utilizing a DFM engine, the system provides the most advanced automatic algorithms in the industry to allow for the “drop off” over the web or internally of customer design packages.  The algorithms in minutes prepare data and users receive back via email comprehensive DFM reports.  Internal CAM personnel receive clean single image PCB data for processing.  This module generates large productivity improvements.

Prerequisites, EDM, EPM, DFX and IRM.

Typical training days 1.

ECO/MCN Director
