"The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them."

— Mark Twain

Just as reading quality literature provides a competitive edge, leveraging Unisoft's ProntoVIEW-MARKUP and other components of the software suite delivers a distinct advantage in the PCB manufacturing field. Developed over the past three and a half decades, our software significantly enhances precision and efficiency, enabling the production of superior quality, fully assembled circuit boards in less time.

PCB assembly (PCBA) electronics manufacturers employ ProntoVIEW-MARKUP software to attain detailed views of PC board assemblies and generate requisite documentation throughout the PCB assembly process. By reducing errors and enhancing communication, the software streamlines operations and optimizes efficiency across the production floor.

With over a hundred features, ProntoVIEW-MARKUP benefits all departments daily on the PCB assembly (PCBA) shop floor, including management, assembly, inspection, design, testing, troubleshooting technicians, and other personnel. The software generates assembly instructions with distinctive colors for each part number and assembly step, creating corresponding kitting labels. You can locate any component, pin or part number, discover shorts between netlist traces, and view paperless hyperlinked schematics linked to the assembly and adding annotation notes and graphics. The software enables rapid PC board first article inspection and general inspection. Produce reports that contain device and package type counts, cost estimations, quotations, and more.

With a current license distribute the Unisoft included PC Board viewer software to your production floor, vendors, customers, etc. to aid assembly, 1st article inspection, general inspection, repair/rework, technician debug, for better communications, etc. If needed ProntoVIEW-MARKUP can be controlled remotely from your application or equipment via the supplied external API programming interface. With a valid license, you can distribute Unisoft's bundled PC board viewer software to your production floor, vendors, customers, and others to facilitate assembly, first article inspection, general inspection, repair/rework, technician debug, and other applications requiring better communication. If necessary, ProntoVIEW-MARKUP can be remotely operated from your application or equipment through the provided external API programming interface.

ProntoVIEW-MARKUP

The basic features of ProntoVIEW-MARKUP provides the detailed viewing of PC board assemblies and the creation of documents, etc. required throughout the PCB assembly ( PCBA ) process. The software increases efficiency, communications and reduces errors across the production floor. With over 100 features aids every department every day on the shop floor of PCB assembly ( PCBA ) manufacturers where it is used by management, assembly, inspection, design, Test, troubleshooting technicians and other personnel.

The information and figures that follow outline a few of the features of ProntoVIEW-MARKUP.

Assembly Process Documents

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.

Kitting Labels

The Unisoft software allows you to quickly create Kitting Labels with barcodes 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.

Barcodes of various types can be printed on the kitting labels and shown on the display for quick kitting, fast assembly machine feeder loading, verification, inspection, etc.: 2d-qr code, 2d-data matrix, etc.

Paperless Assembly Instructions - use display only for slide line PCB assembly (PCBA) , etc.

Paper or Paperless assembly instructions are available using the Unisoft software. If paperless assembly instructions are desired then many options are available. For example two options might be that the below 3 operations for Mary, Jane and Joe can be shown as the same display, as pictured above, on each of their 3 monitors. The other option may be that the 3 color operations above can be separated into 3 separate .F2B database files and then each .F2B displays only their unique operation on each of their 3 monitors.

Further the operators can select one of their several part numbers to be install from below and only those components with the selected part number will blink on the display.

If paper assembly documents are desired from the paperless display simply click the PRINT ASSEMBLY DOCUMENTS button and the hard copy created can be ordered by step, color, operation, etc.

Quoting - PCB assembly ( PCBA ) Cost Estimate Report

Import your PC Board into the Unisoft manufacturing 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. with the cost for each group. You can create as many PCB assembly ( PCBA ) Cost templates as you wish, for example one each for either a Low, Medium or High volume build. This is a great quoting time saver for Contract and OEM manufacturers.

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.
