Prisma is a PCB-Engineering software developed by DYCONEX AG, Switzerland (manufacturer of PCBs). Compared to existing solutions on the market it allows for broad standardization of the process flow while not imposing any restrictions on the design. It is a platform to specify the build-up, materials and the complete work instructions for PCBs. Engineers transform the customer data into full manufacturing papers by means of Prisma. The software has been developed for company internal use only and is (currently) not being sold. One of the key features of Prisma is its freely definable library of process modules. These modules always reflect the current capabilities and process settings. Existing products can be compared to the current state of the module library und be updated in a semi-automatic way. Build-ups and operation plans are presented in an interactive graphical screen that allows the engineer to build the product and incorporate changes in an easy and intuitive way without the need to take care of the detailed process specifications. In addition to formatted easy readable work instructions, Prisma returns schedule- and cost relevant operation times for each process allowing a quick and precise cost estimate for quotations. The software includes an automatic revision management complying with the high traceability requirements of customers working in the medical and military sector. Access to data is restricted by user login. The software is based on SQL Server and .NET technology and includes an interface to the ERP-systems (Enterprise Resource Planning) Abacus and Microsoft Dynamics AX. Live access to the material, product and customer database kept in the ERP-system guarantee always current data. Production planning and costing are accomplished in the ERP-system based on data provided by Prisma.
