Frontline InFlow®

All-in-One Engineering Automation

The Frontline InFlow® solution is an all-in-one PCB and IC substrate engineering automation system that covers the entire engineering workflow, driving accelerated time to market, increased productivity and standardized high quality. The system can cut process planning time by up to 60% by replacing manual tasks with simple rule-based engineering process automation. Productivity is increased with Frontline InFlow’s engineering graphic editor that allows engineers to manage design data read-in, cleanup and analysis, and the entire engineering process, reducing reliance on CAM resources. It also standardizes engineering workflows and outputs to enable fast operator onboarding and time to market, as well as consistently high-quality reports and outputs, regardless of engineer experience.

Frontline InShop®

CAM-Based Data Analytics Using Machine Learning and AI

Frontline InShop® is a CAM-based analytics solution that enables ICS and PCB manufacturers to transform untapped production line and inspection equipment data into actionable insights using machine learning and artificial intelligence. Frontline InShop scalable big data infrastructure allows seamless connection to multiple machines from various vendors on the production floor, merging cross-domain data from sources like electrical test, automated optical inspection (AOI) and metrology to flag issues at the source and correlate production data to the end product. The CAM-based analytics capabilities allow efficient root cause investigation, providing contextual awareness for effective problem-solving, for both production and design related issues. This shortens new product introductions and time to market, increases yield and reduces total cost of ownership.

Frontline InSight® PCB

Web-Based Pre-CAM Solution

The Frontline InSight® PCB solution is a web-based tool for managing and accessing incoming customer PCB data for non-CAM experts from virtually anywhere. From automatically retrieving comprehensive product information to generating precise summary reports, Frontline InSight PCB enables sales and engineering professionals to work more independently, efficiently and profitably. The results include faster and more accurate quoting and product engineering, complete CAM data in minutes, early detection of manufacturing problems and increased throughput. Frontline InSight PCB assesses customer PCB data, retrieves product information for sales and engineering and delivers a PDF report presenting the entire data set for the job in just seconds.

Frontline Cloud Services

Cloud-Based Design-for-Manufacturability Analysis

Frontline Cloud Services is a software as a service (SaaS) solution for PCB manufacturers that combines Frontline’s proven PCB CAM and design-for-manufacturability (DFM) analysis technologies with the powerful calculation capabilities of highly secure cloud computing to accelerate production, cut costs and simplify infrastructure management. The solution harnesses the virtually infinite capacity of the cloud to address emerging trends and increasing PCB design size and complexity, such as higher processing power and memory demands for 5G and LED, parallel processing limits on computer effectiveness and growing demand for artificial intelligence to optimize DFM analysis.
