As far as I know is pretty basic and only matches IPN to a feeder , does not offer serialisation of actual parts. For trace this is not accurate ie trace a btach to a work order to couple of PCB not possible. This may have changed in latest JUKI off

Siemens FX may have some good parts in MES part but front end and NPI tools are much more limited to what Valor MSS offers... As total package end to end Valor MSS can provide full scope. Siemens has not put much R&D and enhancements in front end 'U

Also Valor MSS Process Preparation toolhttp://www.mentor.com/pcb-manufacturing-assembly/products/valor-mss-process-preparation Has great gerber processing tools, but as stated gerber was never targeted at SMT assembly SO ALL tools have to re-process

MSS Valor Process Preparation, also has great gerber processing... http://www.mentor.com/pcb-manufacturing-assembly/products/valor-mss-process-preparation But as stated gerber was never intended to cope with assembly data only fabrication hence not

I think Valor MSS is best in market solution, ODB++ no issue and has documentation, coupled if can afford VPL part packages offers very accurate images of PCB in docs Siemens UnifcamFX is not bad but dated in functionality scope. Valor MSS Process P

We are using Valor MSS for DFM and DFT. Very powerful tool especially if you have also VPL (Valor Parts Library) access/subscription.

Valor MSS NPI is far more powerful than all the lower cost solutions, I had customer assess all their lower cost solutions and found no real added value, if want more than just SMT programming. NPI needs Stencil Optimisation , DFM analysis, DFT engi

Hi, As we found, Valor have a best NPI tools but other parts are limited and is not completed. Also, Valor was a single solution for NPI about 10-15 years ago, but today you can find NPI tools from China, Europe, USA and other that can do the same a

Also Valor MSS Process Preparation from mentor is a option Has the most complete solution on market, covers what CircuitCam does but can offer more options as you need, auto-generation of SMT parts for programming machines, DFT Probing, Stencil Optim
