CUSTOMER COMMENTS:
A Unisoft customer is Willie Anderson, Manufacturing
Engineering Manager at Keytech
Electronics Systems. Keytech is a electronic contract
manufacturer (EMS) and a Unisoft
customer since 2005. They use the Unisoft software to program
their Assembly, AOI inspection,
Test and Selective Soldering equipment. Keytech also uses the
Unisoft software to create
process assembly documents, do first article inspection, general
inspection, cost reports,
technician debug, repair, rework, etc. Here are some of Willie's
comments in 2012:
"We had a board meeting last night and one of the topics on
the agenda was the Assembly
procedures created with the software. We have over the last
quarter rolled out the use of the
Unisoft Output for creating our build pack assembly documents
and the feedback from all
departments has been a sound endorsement of the product. Our
quality dept (who use the
software for FAI) have stated "Since the introduction of the new
paperwork we have noticed a
marked improvement on first time pass rates and build quality".
The operators like the fact that they no longer need to search
the board for references due to
the colour coding of the parts and the quality of the
information provided. Finally the production
manager has noticed on products where we are using the new
paperwork that through-put has
increased due to less quality related stoppages."

NETLIST window and blinking of all pins on the selected net
Easier drill down to component pins, trace runs and schematic. Display
NETLISTS quickly using the "NET INFORMATION" window that displays the NET NAME
of the selected component and pin and all the other pins on the net. The trace
run of the selected net is highlighted and all pins on the net blink. If the
schematic view is displayed then the net chosen is shown. The user can then
select any one of the other pins on the net in the NET INFORMATION box. The
result is the NET INFORMATION window will update to the new selected pin and the
selected trace highlighted will update also. If the schematic view is displayed
then that view will refresh too.

Do you have
special problems - For example: You do not have the native CAD files for your
project. You only have the Gerber Files and a BOM (Bill Of Materials). You
need to program your Automatic Assembly Equipment and you do not know where to
turn. -- Our software can do it for you! The software takes your gerber files and BOM and creates
the exact
Reference
Designators,X/Y, and Part
Number data you need to program your project. Of course the
software also imports virtually all standard native CAD file types too!

Unisoft ProntoPLACE
software generates the necessary programs for
automatic assembly machines in minutes. ProntoPLACE programs popular surface mount (SMT) placement, through-hole (THT) insertion and glue dispensing machines. Universal, Fuji,
Mydata, Siemens, Panasonic, Assembleon/Philips, Juki, Contact Systems (CS400,
3, C5 series, etc.), Camelot, Quad assembly and others are supported.
ProntoPLACEis a cost effective solution for making your job easier and saving your
company money.
Programs are generated offline using your Gerber or CAD and BOM data files thus conserving valuable machine time. Placement order and feeder assignments are optimized based on the exact machine type improving overall throughput. Predetermined feeder assignments can be imported, additional feeders are assigned automatically, then feeder setup
generated. ProntoPLACE creates assembly documents, work instructions and
process aids (Smart Color "see below" automatic assignment of unique colors and patterns to each part number on the
assembly). Assign separate colors to components for each assembly step, add text and graphic annotations.
Circuit Master ProntoPLACE receives its input by importing virtually any CAD and Bill
Of Materials (BOM). Import files from Gerber, Mentor Graphics, PADS,
Intergraph, OrCAD, Protel, Accel PCAD, Accel Tango, Allegro, Cadence, Cadnetixs,
Cadstar, Computervision, Edif, Verybest, Visula, etc. ProntoVIEW-MARKUP also
imports standards such as IPCD356, GENCAD, Fabmaster, etc.
Assembly and Process Sheets
The Unisoft software allows you to quickly create matching assembly lists and assembly
drawing sheets
for each step in the assembly process.
Part numbers are automatically assigned to the assembly step you wish (for
example: Step 1 for Hand Inserts, Step 2 Chip Shooter components, etc). The
part numbers are then automatically uniquely colored. If needed, overlay
annotation notes can be added to each step. Next for each step matching
assembly lists and assembly drawings are created. These drawings can
either be printed or save to a file (PDF Adobe, etc.) or displayed on the
screen.
The Unisoft software allows you to quickly
create Kitting Labels for fast and accurate electronic component kitting.
Quickly select the component part numbers for which you wish kitting labels
created. Each label contains the part number, unique part number color,
step number, p/n description, reference designator, etc. Fast and easy
electronic kitting labels for kitting work orders.
First Article Inspection
Generally First Article Inspection is done on the
first PC Boards assembled. When the assembly inspection is satisfactory at that
point the PC Board can be built reliably in quantity.
The Unisoft software allows you to BLINK all the components in
each part number.The
person doing the first article inspection would check that
each of those components are correctly
installed. If all where correct then they would click the
DRAW button to color those components to indicate they are correct.
A check mark is placed
next to the part number indicating it has been
completed. The inspector would continue this process for each part number until
all part numbers are colored at which point that would indicate the PC Board was
assembled correctly. At that point the PC Board can be built in quantity.
Quotation and cost estimation
reports
Import your PC Board
into the Unisoft software and you instantly receive a report containing
component counts for top and bottom of the PC Board broken down by SMT, Fine
pitch, BGA’s, Thru-hole, etc. This is a great time saver for Contract and OEM
manufacturer.
EXAMPLE:
Report type: Device/package type count with quotation and cost estimation

"Bristol
Babcock has been serving the Oil, Natural Gas, Waste and Fresh water industries
with process control instruments for over 100 years. Bristol installed two
Mydata pick and place lines. Our goals were many; we needed a software package
that would allow us to do all of our programming of production and prototype
boards and process documentation off line quickly no matter how difficult the
board. We wanted a software package that was easy to understand, yet
was powerful enough to do what we needed. Most of all we wanted a supplier that
was going to be there when we needed them. The Unisoft OneFACTORY software
was the answer. Five years and hundreds of programs later the Unisoft
OneFACTORY
software is a proven product. On the average it takes twenty minutes or less to
program (double sided SMT) our boards. Process documentation is also critical to
us; Unisoft OneFACTORY software had all the answers. Just as Bristol has been committed
to its customers; UniSOFT has been committed to us. What a partnership; what a
software package."

Smart
Color(tm) - One feature of ProntoPLACE is Smart Color(tm). After importing
the CAD file (above) Smart Color (below) has instantly sorted components by
unique part numbers and assigned a distinctive color and pattern to each.Optionally detailed text instructions can be added to part numbers (for example "HAND INSERT AFTER WAVE" or "REFERENCE INSPECTION PROCEDURE
QA-23").
PC display or printout the colors/patterns and text assign to each part
number as assembly instructions, inspection aids, etc.
Part numbers are automatically assigned to the assembly step you wish. The
part numbers are then automatically uniquely colored. Each step can then
be printed or displayed along with a matching colorized assembly drawing.
ProntoPLACE is compatible
with the free Unisoft ProntoVIEW-MARKUP software.
The free ProntoVIEW-MARKUP is used by electronic manufacturers
and is designed for use across the entire production floor. ProntoVIEW-MARKUP
can also be sent to your customers and vendors for better communications. For
example ProntoVIEW-MARKUP can display process and assembly aid documents for
assembly personnel or it can find shorts on the PC Boards between two traces to
aid technicians in the troubleshooting department. ProntoVIEW-MARKUP will make
everyday production tasks easier and save your company money. ProntoVIEW-MARKUP
has over 100 features that aid the assembly department, first article inspection
area, general inspection, test departments, repair & rework areas , PCB
troubleshooting technicians, design group, etc. ProntoVIEW-MARKUP increases
efficiency, communication and reduces errors.
Here is a list of a few of the display features of the free
ProntoVIEW-MARKUP:
- First Article
Inspection - Blink components for each part number then inspect parts and check
off as inspected until entire PC Board is inspected.
- Instantly search by components, pins, nets, netnames, part
numbers. Find shorts between traces (highlight single or multiple traces).
- Find and Blink all components of a particular part number.
- Zoom, single/split screen, flip, rotate, change screen
settings, change printer settings, change start up display settings.
- Click on component to display name, pins, technology type,
surface, part number and all BOM part description information.
- Active schematic view that is hyper-linked to the assembly.
- Measurement tool and set new 0,0 origins
- Print or plot to any Windows compatible printer. Print the
full assembly or a zoomed in segment or a schematic segment.
- Display your process documentation, assembly sheets,
process aids (view unique colors and patterns for each part number on the
assembly). View the assigned separate colors to components for each assembly
step. View added text and graphic annotations.
- Display virtually any CAD, Gerber and BOM format.
- Display and load single or multiple annotation overlays.
- View imported ATE test probe numbers. These test probe
numbers appear at their exact x/y location and you can search by test probe
numbers.
- View individually Colorize single or multiple components.
- View changed component properties to any part number.
- Control ProntoVIEW-MARKUP remotely from your application or
equipment via external API programming interface.

comments:
We just completed a board build
using the file you converted for me. We actually used the software "live"
(versus making hard-copy drawings) since the board had so many item numbers and
it worked great. I would go so far as to say it would have been almost
impossible without it.
So far this is awesome. Thanks for the quick turnaround... I'm sure I'll spend
the day going through the tutorial and instructions. But I'm already
impressed. It would have taken me untold hours to get to the point where I had
something usable using manual techniques.Using our "live" board makes a great demo! Gary Lynch - Best Electronics
Inc.
We are beginning to see the
benefits of using the software and it has been a great aid to our inspection
people.

After renting your
software ProntoPLACE for 1 month, I find that it is very
acceptable in performance... We are therefore applying 100% of the first
months rental credit towards purchase. We are in process to purchase the
package and you will receive purchase order in next few days.
