Valor Process Preparation serves as a process engineering \u201cdigital twin\u201d that automatically transforms board designs into line-optimized machine programs.  \nIn addition, Valor\u00ae Process Preparation can automatically generate an ODB++Process file. The file is then exported and transmitted to ODB++Process-compliant systems that perform machine-dedicated optimizations, and then upload the resulting program data to the machine. \nMachine vendors that support ODB++Process benefit from a simplified method of obtaining complete, detailed, and accurate information on the product that is to be produced \u2013 in a format that is ready for their optimization. Once ODB++Process support is achieved, integration efforts are eliminated, and programming times are drastically reduced.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"cta-buttons\"><a href=\"\/process\/join\" class=\"btn cta-btn1 btn-outline btn-white btn-hover-white\">Apply Now!<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221;
