Enics chose CR-8000 as part of an ongoing investment program to ensure they can meet their customers¡¯ future technical requirements and further reduce time-to-market. Enics is one of world¡¯s largest EMS providers, working primarily in the energy, industrial automation, transportation, building automation and instrumentation sectors.
Patrik Modig, site manager for Enics Västerås says, ¡°We aim to be the partner of choice for Industrial focused OEMs when they are looking for professional EMS solutions. With Zuken¡¯s CR-8000 Design Force we have state-of-the-art technology to help us respond to the latest trends in the electronics industry. We also expect to see a remarkable boost in productivity due to a more streamlined process and tighter integration with simulation tools.¡±
Enics had used Zuken¡¯s CR-5000 single-board PCB design software almost 10 years, during which time they have expanded significantly across Europe and Asia. Key factors that prompted their decision to migrate to CR-8000 include:
- Full 3D virtual prototyping to allow early verification of mechanical constraints and perform DFM reviews; vital to meeting increased miniaturization trends.
- Ability to import 3D mechanical models into an ECAD environment allowing 3D verification during the design process and collision prevention in manufactured prototypes.
- Integrated environment for signal integrity, power integrity and electromagnetic interference checking.
