Accelonix UK has supplied Renishaw's New Mills facility in Gloucestershire, with a range of UGS Tecnomatix software to streamline its new product introduction (NPI) processes. Renishaw, a global supplier of metrology and spectroscopy products will use Tecnomatix digital manufacturing software to further improve the management of its manufacturing systems by shortening the design cycle, removing wasteful processes and reducing the number of file formats required to produce new products. The software implementation will enable a paperless production environment reducing errors and ensuring compliance with existing process requirements and new regulations, including the lead-free operations guidelines described in the forthcoming RoHS Directive.

'The real-time data collection capabilities of our UGS Tecnomatix solution will allow engineers to manage based on the most up-to-date facts', said Mike Jones, Electronics Engineering Manager, Renishaw.

'The NPI processes and systems will also significantly improve product and part traceability and help us perform root cause analysis on any production issues more rapidly than ever before'.

'UGS is helping us better manage change and as a result making us a more successful company'.

Paul Phillips, Managing Director of Accelonix comments: 'We are delighted that Renishaw has selected our UGS Tecnomatix software for its key NPI and manufacturing traceability processes'.

'This confirms our position as the leading software provider of NPI and manufacturing execution software in the highly demanding electronics manufacturing marketplace'.

'We believe that a key element in our success is the breadth of our product offering, covering assembly and test program generation, documentation, quality and paperless repair, WIP tracking, manufacturing route enforcement, materials verification, shop floor machine performance and ultimately full materials and process traceability from the stock room to shipping'.

Renishaw's selection of UGS Tecnomatix solutions complements its existing investment in NX software, UGS's digital product development system and Teamcenter software, UGS's digital lifecycle management system.

The agreement includes the maintenance of UGS's eM-Assembly Expert and eM-Execution products - which include solutions for assembly planning, quality management, material management, process verification and traceability.
