Frost and Sullivan has selected Aegis Industrial Software Corp as its 2006 company of the year in the surface mount technology (SMT) software sector for its role in helping clients to successfully transition to a lead-free manufacturing process With the deadline for the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive approaching on 1st July 2006, electronics manufacturers worldwide are likely to be challenged with effectively employing lead-free components in their products

The lead-free solder process in electronics assembly brings about different defects, revised production processes as well as inspection criteria.

It also introduces more intensive requirements for shop-floor materials control, quality and repair management, materials declaration and total traceability.

Aegis' solutions help manufacturers address these challenges through a combined product launch and manufacturing execution platform supporting improved speed, control, and visibility.
