Papros Inc. Announces AJAX based Obsolescence Management for Eco-Compliance in Meeting RoHS Regulations

Papros Inc. announces a new product for Obsolescence Management which is an AJAX web client that can access product data across internet and intranets using the latest in web technology. This product supplements Papros Inc.'s MRPRO software.

MRPRO prepares a Product Material Content Report in conformance with WEEE, RoHS (EU, China, California etc.), EIA, JGPSSI and JEDEC and other similar evolving standards. It enables the product and part specific "X" and "O" type labeling for China RoHS by running through BOMs and flagging parts which have substance compositions (maximum by homogeneous layers) that exceed regulated substance thresholds. The new Obsolescence Management Report prepared by MRPRO can be deployed across the corporate intranet and internet for information access across the enterprise and the entire supply chain using the latest AJAX enabled web client that optimizes data transfer and increases throughput and robustness. It shows the lists of region/ issue specific compliance criteria and the product's/part's status per the criteria. It also shows End Of Life (EOL) timeline, disposal method at EOL and any other comments by the due diligent authorized issuer/maintainer of the data. A separate form also opens up IPC 1752 xml data for a part over the web and displays maximum compositions for all JIG substance categories. The AJAX enabled web client will be sold as an optional addition to MRPRO. It is designed to work for all commonly used web browsers.

MRPRO's report generator and the optional web client provide a complete environment for Product Environmental Lifecycle Management for companies of all sizes, large, medium or small. By enabling reports to be generated at key specified points, while enabling the deployment of the results across the internet or corporate intranet, and supporting efficient access to the data, MRPRO is thus a strong and sufficient platform for compliance management.

The scalability of MRPRO ensures that MRPRO can be deployed across enterprises of all sizes and everywhere in the enterprise. Its user interface is easy to use and understand. Additionally, MRPRO can work efficiently with supply chain management data to interface with existing processes at enterprises and for multi-enterprise integration. Its abilities to fit in and be necessary at different levels and places in the supply chain enable it to be powerful in use as a tool for eco-compliance with regulatory requirements.
