(NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange : SCI), a world leader in electronics contract manufacturing, has placed a $3.8 million order for combined Tecnomatix and Fuji Machine Manufacturing Company Ltd. software and services. Tecnomatix will receive $2.1 million from the order and Fuji will receive $1.7 million. The order is comprised of Tecnomatix' Unicam software for assembly planning, production monitoring, documentation and for interfacing with non-Fuji PCB PCB: see polychlorinated biphenyl. PCB in full polychlorinated biphenyl Any of a class of highly stable organic compounds prepared by the reaction of chlorine with biphenyl, a two-ring compound. assembly equipment, and a jointly developed brand of the Unicam software called FujiCam that allows engineers to program, optimize and monitor Fuji assembly machines directly from the engineering application. SCI selected Tecnomatix and Fuji after a year-long evaluation of the UNICAM and FUJICAM software at three SCI sites. SCI has been using the software to program the Fuji machines, and create visual assembly aids from a number of PCB design systems. The Tecnomatix/Fuji solution has already shortened new product introduction schedules, reduced cycle times for board assembly, and provided faster implementation of engineering changes and automation of process documentation for SCI. The software will be implemented at 26 SCI facilities. "The implementation of Tecnomatix/Fuji software is an important component of SCI's globalization globalization Process by which the experience of everyday life, marked by the diffusion of commodities and ideas, is becoming standardized around the world. Factors that have contributed to globalization include increasingly sophisticated communications and transportation efforts and will help us maintain our leadership position in the electronics manufacturing services Electronic manufacturing services (EMS) is term used for companies that design, test, manufacture, distribute and provide return/repair services for electronic component and assemblies for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). market," said Gene Sapp, president and chief executive officer of SCI Systems.
