Mentor Graphics Announces Open Manufacturing Language, an Open Internet of Manufacturing Standard for PCB Assembly

Bangalore, Feb. 17, 2016 — Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced the launch of the Open Manufacturing Language (OML) initiative that directly addresses the longstanding need and urgent calls from the industry for a printed circuit board (PCB) assembly-specific Internet of Manufacturing solution. For the first time, IT teams, solution providers, and equipment providers can easily integrate shop-floor data to create or enhance added-value manufacturing ex*****on solutions based on a single, normalized, vendor-neutral communication interface. This minimizes development and support effort while ensuring optimum data accuracy, timeliness and completeness.

Use of the OML standard supports numerous industry needs and challenges including the practical realization of the Internet of Manufacturing, Industry 4.0 and Smart Factory 1.0 concepts, as well as the automated collection of full traceability data including routing and compliance enforcement.

“The OML standard is a key technology and contributor for the Internet of Manufacturing and Industry 4.0 in PCB assembly. It’s our pleasure to work with the OML community” stated Jordan Jiang, President / GM of iEi Integration Corp. “iEi looks forward to involvement with OML to assist with utilization through the offering of quality design and manufacture services. We are excited about seeing OML launched and are looking forward to the business opportunities and benefits that it will undoubtedly bring to the whole industry.”

OML creates an operational hierarchy through which neutralized information is exchanged between manufacturing processes. This includes detail of any shop-floor event in the areas of process performance, materials setup and consumption, traceability, process results and parameters, process control (poka-yoke), and quality information from test, inspection and repair processes, both automated and manual. OML resolves numerous issues in automated and manual processes that previous formats could not address.

The OML standard, introduced by Mentor Graphics, is based on more than 15 years of experience in the development of shop-floor interfaces. The standard will be available through an open community on www.OMLcommunity.com. The community will provide support and management of new revisions.

“We are very excited to be among the first members of the OML community,” stated Ian Ticehurst, Senior Corporate MIS Manager, Hana Microelectronics Public Co., Ltd. “This initiative is perfectly timed to enable our IT team to put their latest ideas into practice following the principles and potential of the Internet of Manufacturing with a fraction of the effort, cost and lead-time originally required.”

“For some time now we have seen and heard the demand for a comprehensive shop-floor communication standard that is detailed enough to support the next generation of computerization such as Industry 4.0 solutions,” stated Dan Hoz, General Manager of Mentor Graphics Valor Division. “With this initiative, Valor contributes the first step and sets the pace for the revolution in manufacturing for PCB assembly”

Availability and Showcase at APEX 2016
Membership of the community is now open for end-users, machine vendors, and other interested parties by registering at the website where a free download of the full documentation and samples are available. The use of OML will be showcased at many industry tradeshows, such as IPC APEX EXPO 2016 by Mentor Graphics and other members of the community.

Mentor Automotive Capital Products Compress Development Cycle Times and Boost Efficiency of General Motors Vehicles

Bangalore, February 17, 2016 – Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced that General Motors is deploying Mentor® Capital® electrical systems design tools for its vehicle development projects. The tools deliver cycle time reductions and support improved engineering processes, helping General Motors efficiently deliver the new electronic features demanded by the car-buying public. This is achieved via the Capital suite’s powerful design asset re-use and correct-by-construction technology that automatically generates optimized platform-level wiring.

Electrical systems for new General Motors vehicles are now being designed using Capital tools. Furthermore, design data for existing vehicles is being converted to Capital software using utilities developed by Mentor’s consulting organization. This enables rapid tool adoption through the availability of infrastructure such as rule decks and libraries, and broadened user familiarity.

General Motors has further ensured a high level of skills among its user community with on-demand training, provided via the Mentor Learning Center web platform. This always-available resource delivers tutorials, hands-on exercises, and knowledge checks that have been developed by Mentor’s product experts, tailored to a number of distinct user profiles.

Like many automotive OEMs, General Motors develops vehicles based on a number of core platforms, often tailored to local market preferences. This pattern brings significant cost efficiencies but also requires comprehensive data handling, and compatibility with the enterprise IT environment.

Replacement of a key part of the vehicle development process can be a daunting task. But General Motors has reached key milestones such as production design data release on schedule while transitioning to Capital. Martin O’Brien, general manager, Mentor Automotive, said, “General Motors’ adoption of Capital is a model of good practice. It has been speedy but also highly structured. We look forward to working further with GM as the applicability of additional tools within the Capital range is explored, for example to help control electrical system configuration complexity or automatically create technical publications.”

Mentor Graphics Successful Against Synopsys’ Appeal Of Patent Office Decision

Bangalore, February 12, 2016—Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has upheld the patentability of claims in U.S. Patent No. 6,240,376 for emulation technology developed by Mentor Graphics®. In October of 2014 a jury found that Synopsys infringed several claims of the ’376 Patent and awarded Mentor Graphics more than $36 million in damages, and in March 2015 Mentor Graphics obtained a permanent injunction against Synopsys’ infringement. In parallel with the litigation, Synopsys petitioned the United States Patent and Trademark Office to review the validity of the claims of the ’376 Patent. After a trial before the Patent Office, the validity of the patent claims asserted in the litigation was confirmed. Synopsys appealed to the Federal Circuit, which has now affirmed the Patent Office’s decision.
“We were gratified by the Court’s decision,” said Tom Evans, corporate intellectual property counsel for Mentor Graphics. “The claims of the ’376 patent that Synopsys was found to infringe were approved by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office when the patent issued, and again after Synopsys petitioned the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to review those claims. This decision affirms the Patent Office’s conclusions that the ’376 patent covers innovative emulation technology, and validates Mentor’s ongoing vigorous protection of this technology.”
