Quotation and cost estimation reports

Import your PC Board into the Unisoft 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. This is a great time saver for Contract and OEM manufacturer.
 

PC Board: G23452 Rev X1
Date: 5-22-08
Estimated base build price total per board = $245.34

SMT 2 pins 0402 package type and smaller: .040 inch and smaller distance between pin 1 & 2.

    Top -           25 = total device count, 50 = total pin count
    Bottom -      10 = total device count, 20 = total pin count
    Part #'s -      6 = total part numbers
    Base price:  $53.50 = ( 0.10 * device count ) + ( 100/12 * part #'s )


SMT (fine pitch) 8 pins and greater and 30 mils or less pin spacing.

    Top -            8 = total device count, 480 = total pin count
    Bottom -       0 = total device count, 0 = total pin count
    BGA's -        2 included in above count.
    Part #'s -      4 = total part numbers
    Base price:  $34.85 = ( 0.12 * device count ) + ( 100/12 * part #'s ) + ( 0.14 * BGA )

Do you have special problems - For example: You do not have the native CAD files for your PC Board. You only have the Gerber Files and a BOM (Bill Of Materials).  Our software can do it for you, it takes your gerber files and BOM and creates the exact Reference Designators, X/Y, and Part Number data the ProntoVIEW-MARKUP needs.    Of course the software also imports virtually all standard native CAD file types too!

A possible next step in your evaluation is an informal online demo. We can do the demo within minutes of you contacting us!  We simply invite you via email to a webpage where you view our PC live, so there is no firewall or other security issues for you to deal with.  To do the demo now or schedule one call 203-913-0782 or email demopvm@unisoft-cim.com. 

First Article Inspection

Generally First Article Inspection is done on the first PC Boards assembled. When the assembly inspection is satisfactory at that point the PC Board can be built reliably in quantity.

The Unisoft software allows you to BLINK all the components in each part number. The person doing the first article inspection would check that each of those components are correctly  installed.  If all where correct then they would click the DRAW button to color those components to indicate they are correct. A check mark is placed next to the part number indicating it has been completed. The inspector would continue this process for each part number until all part numbers are colored at which point that would indicate the PC Board was assembled correctly. At that point the PC Board can be built in quantity. 
 

Free PC Board Viewer Software

The Unisoft software outputs a single file that is compatible with the royalty free VIEWER software.  Customers are licensed to distribute the VIEWER software and your single board file to your production floor, vendors, customers, etc. to aid assembly, 1st article inspection, general inspection, repair/rework, technician debug, for better communications, etc.   No need to purchase additional licenses.  The free VIEWER assists assembly personnel, technician troubleshooting, repair personnel, enhances communications internally and with customers and outside vendors.  Our customers typically put the VIEWER and the board files for each of their PCB assemblies on their network so that it can be accessed by everyone to improve productivity.

COMMENTS:

"Thanks you for your time and working with me. The software is very valuable. Its been great."
        Mike Knox - Hewlett-Packard, California

"Our UniSOFT configuration has been instrumental in reducing engineering development costs. Maintaining an aggressive product development schedule would be impossible without the UniSOFT tools." 
        Mike Bartnick - Delco Electronics

"I was first introduced to the ProntoVIEW-MARKUP software several years ago by the Hewlett-Packard group in Puerto Rico. We use it every day here for practically every operation on the production floor."
       R.S. - Hewlett-Packard, California

The online schematic feature in ProntoVIEW-MARKUP is super. We no longer need to have the schematic sheets on our desks. This is truly a great feature.
       Jay Aglei - SSI Inc.

We appreciate everything your company has done for us, you have definitely made us more competitive.
        Jay Patel

It's really hard to believe the amount of features packed into this software for the price. Throughout our evaluation process we were really trying to figure out what was missing but we couldn't find anything. As I mentioned earlier we will be placing the purchase order early next week for the full ProntoVIEW-MARKUP package with all the CAD importers.
       R.A.

Just for your information, I've sent your coordinates and a sample file to one fellow worker in MCMS Penang (Malaysia) in order for him to evaluate especially that amazing feature of ProntoVIEW-MARKUP that consists in re-creating the schematics from the nodes.
        Yves de Ryckel - Managing Director MCMS, Belgium

Thousand of thanks! ProntoVIEW-MARKUP working like crazy. I can not believe I now have this powerful tool . You are great.
        Cristian Lungu - Solectron

The software is now in use on our shop floor, and is proving to be very useful indeed.

Just thought I'd let you know that the feedback I am getting from the test and repair technicians on our production floor is extremely positive, now that they are using the VIEWER software every day....and wonder how they survived without it ! They find all the features really good and your software has dramatically reduced the time taken to locate components and fix faults etc. The investment has paid for itself already. We have not yet really used the annotation features of the software but I'm hoping to get this off the ground in the near future.

Keep up the good work.
        Gerry I.  -  Benchmark Electronics Europe

Update from Gerry:
I thought you might like to know that I just recently started using the annotation and embedded graphic features of the ProntoVIEW-MARKUP software, and we are very impressed with it. 

I look forward to hearing from you. 

Regards and thanks,
        Gerry I.  -  Benchmark Electronics Europe

I have presented the software to a number of my techs. They really like it.
One of the primary reasons I wanted to try your software was the versatility
of using either Pads or Mentor files. The ease of use has been so great
that even our engineers have expressed an interest.
        DB - General Electric

"Several years ago we purchased ProntoTEST-FIXTURE software for our Genrad ATE. Later we ordered ProntoTEST-FIXTURE for our Hewlett Packard test equipment with good results. Now we have ProntoPLACE for our two MYDATA SMT component placement machines and use ProntoVIEW-MARKUP for providing paper or paperless process documentation for our assembly and repair operations. We are extremely happy with the way the Unisoft FACTORY suite has worked for us." 
        Tony Marino - Plant Manager, Bristol Babcock 

We are extremely happy with ProntoVIEW-MARKUP paperless process documentation and repair software. We have also purchased ProntoPLACE for our Universal assembly equipment.
        A. Manual. - Keithly Instruments

I've been having a good look at this software and I'm impressed with all the
different types of data it can import, not only with PADS and Mentor
Graphics, but also HPGL and DXF files that we also use. Also it can be
quite handy for the other formats such as Orcad and Allegro as we sometimes
get these files sent to us from other customers. It read in our board designs without problems.

I am using your shareware version of ProntoVIEW-MARKUP and I wonder how I buy your excellent program?
What is the price?
        Ulf K. - Ericsson Microwave Systems AB, Sweden

Very powerful aid tool.
        S.V.  -  Kortex Europe

Several people in our company have looked at the ProntoVIEW-MARKUP software, and we are definitely interested in buying it, it looks like it will do just what we need!
     JS - European Electronics

We have used the Unisoft software since 1993 and it works great!... Just a note to say I am using the free Unisoft PC Board VIEWER software extensively for a task I am working on. I think the difficulty of an alternate method would greatly increase the time to completion. In addition to our licensed copies of the Unisoft software we have over 50 users of the Unisoft free VIEWER software at this Vermont plant.  Unisoft has come to bat quickly anytime we have needed support.
    John Harrington - BF Goodrich Aerospace

Being able to highlight a single or multiple traces and then to follow a signal or to find the potential location of shorted traces is a tremendous feature of the ProntoVIEW-MARKUP software, we use it every day.
        Frank Benton - Europe
