EMA Expands Its RoHS/WEEE 'Design for Compliance' Solution with the Introduction of the EMA Engineering Data Management Solution
EMA Design AutomationT, a full-service provider of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) solutions, announced the availability of the Engineering Data ManagementT (EDMT) suite to help engineering teams create RoHS/WEEE-compliant products. EDM is a database management system that enables companies to have detailed control over all product design data with specific emphasis on environmental compliance material content. The EDM environment supports various versions of RoHS data including both RoHS 5 (NIE exemption) and the general RoHS 6 requirements. The EDM system can manage all relevant product design data including both ECAD (electrical) and MCAD (mechanical) with the capability to create RoHS/WEEE reporting documentation.
EDM is an environment that provides functions such as BOM versioning, ECO generation, full library and workflow management, and document archival for the engineering work group. This gives the design engineers full control over the data enabling them to provide more consistent, higher quality information, which later can be incorporated into enterprise PDM/PLM and ERP systems.
"We've been integrating RoHS/WEEE data into companies' PCB design flows and found that they have a pressing need to manage RoHS/WEEE compliance information and product design data within their engineering teams," said Marcano. "To address the environmental compliance issues that affect today's designs we have created the Engineering Data Management (EDM) solution."
As part of EMA's commitment to mitigate the risks driven by the RoHS/WEEE directives, it has also established the EMA Services Sales Team-a focused group of professionals available to customers for consulting services and support. The EMA Engineering Data Management (EDM) suite is available now starting at $25,000. For additional information, visit http://www.ema-eda.com/services/EDM or call EMA at 800-813-7494, extension 252.
