PerfectPart v4.0 software appliance is designed to improve quality and enable traceability in manual assembly manufacturing operations. Is available preinstalled on touchscreen hardware; is pre-integrated for one-click connection to a number of commonly used plant floor tools and I/O devices. A browser-based administrative interface allows system management from any Internet-connected device, including mobile devices. Is a highly scalable deployment model; can start with a single station and scale into hundreds without additional integration services. Permits customization to accommodate integration requirements associated with some enterprise PLM, ERP, MES, or plant floor system configurations. Addresses quality enforcement and traceability. Work instruction development, deployment, revisions and links to engineering design documents are maintained by plant employees.

PXI 1149/DAK is a mass interconnect interface within the frame of Scanflex boundary scan hardware. The option for the SFX/PXI1149/Cx controller is compatible with SCOUT, the mass interconnect system from MAC Panel. Can now combine JTAG/boundary scan with PXI connectivity solution from MAC Panel. Is available in two versions: PXI 1149/DAK2 has a differential test bus with 200 pin receiver and single-ended PIP resources; PXI 1149/DAK1 has a single-ended test bus with 96 pin receiver, as well as single-ended PIP resources. Is an option for the SFX/PXI1149/Cx and SFX/PXIe1149/Cx controller. Both mass interconnect interfaces are also available as a variant supporting Direct Access Kit-Extended version. Fully supported by System Cascon software.

A custom fit tooling solution for Mydata E series pick-and-place equipment is available. Eliminates the need for tooling setup and dedicated fixtures. Provide a 13mm bottom-side clearance. Reportedly overcomes a previous limitation in regard to a low tooling pin stroke and subsequent inability to accommodate tall components on the PCB bottom-side. Can be installed in about an hour and a half. Is operated by pressing one button in manual mode or hands-free in the automatic mode. May be reconfigured to support nearly any PCB in seconds.

FootprintGen app is said to accurately automate generation of complex PCB footprint (land pattern) models in less time than manual methods.
Supports user-defined and IPC-7351 standard settings across a range of component families. Uses a process driven by rules, settings and component dimensioning forms. Supports BGA, chip, array, DIP, LCC, LGA, PLCC, QFN, QFP, SOJ, and SOP families. Supports multiple user settings with user-configurable line and text widths for solder mask, assembly, pad, and other layers. D-shape, oblong or rectangular pad shapes available, as are custom pad shapes with rounding or chamfering specifications. Pad stacks are user-configurable and can be assigned to unique locations including corner pads or specific row/column positions. Integrates seamlessly with OrCAD and Allegro PCB. Footprint models can be verified and correlated to schematic symbol models to identify errors or discrepancies.

TestWay Express provides an integrated workflow for DfT and test coverage analysis from design through to product delivery. Is said to analyze and verify testability at each stage of the design to delivery workflow within a single tool. Verifies mechanical rules, allocates test probes and estimates test coverage based on actual physical access. Generates test programs, input lists and test models, and test fixture files. Operates directly from native CAD formats. Reads completed test program or test report and compares coverage between estimated and measured analysis. Coverage importers available for a range of common test/inspection machines
