The Valor IoT Manufacturing product utilizes built-in interfaces to acquire and normalize data from the entire manufacturing flow, including surface mount technology (SMT), screen printers, reflow ovens, inspection and test machines, as well as manual operations such as system assembly, test and repair. This product also provides a simple, standard way of controlling machines and manufacturing flows through the use of the Open Manufacturing Language (OML). Manufacturers can now accelerate deployment of shop-floor IT projects by connecting the Valor IoT of Manufacturing product with any MES, ERP, supply chain, PLM and other enterprise applications.
"The Valor IoT Manufacturing solution with the Open Manufacturing Language (OML) should revolutionize today's automated electronics assembly industry. OML will bring much needed interoperability to the PCB manufacturing industry," stated Dick Slansky, senior analyst, PLM & Industry, ARC Advisory Group. "Mentor's plug-and-play, comprehensive, secure networking and connectivity solution is a significant milestone for the mass customization of manufactured electronics."
The Valor IoT Manufacturing distributed architecture offers a high degree of scalability and allows for parallel real-time flow of huge data volumes, eliminating potential networking and connectivity issues. Its rugged construction offers high data integrity and security, including power back-up and fail-safe data management.
"By seamlessly sharing accurate real-time data between machines and processes, our new Valor IoT Manufacturing solution allows manufacturers to connect to any MES, ERP, or other enterprise system and deploy shop-floor IT projects without changing their world," stated Dan Hoz, general manager of Mentor Graphics Valor Division.
