MRPRO to be Exhibited at IPC Printed Circuits Expo

San Jose, CA, March 12, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Papros Inc. will be exhibiting its products that help sustain green manufacturing at the IPC Printed Circuits Expo, APEX and Designers Summit in Las Vegas, during April 1-3, 2008, in Booth number 1377. Papros Inc. offers an unique suite of products to support a whole series of product, part and raw material information collection, maintenance and use in a highly automated manner. The products support both list based and risk based approaches for chemical management in products, and also enable a greener footprint at the enterprise level. This is done by enabling companies to track not only material composition, but also environmental footprint information such as wastes created, or air emissions including greenhouse gases during the entire lifecycle from raw material to end of life. Each footprint parameter is assigned a code. Thus various exposure routes for different use scenarios for the same substance can be offered unique codes. This data lends itself to commonly accepted risk evaluation modeling. Great flexibility is thus offered in the range of types of data that can be handled and modeling approaches possible. All Substances of Concern for an Organization (ASCO) which can include the well anticipated list of SVHCs (Substances of Very High Concern) from the EU as well as substances of concern due to other reasons, for example, a substance in a part that the raw material manufacturer or the part supplier is discontinuing due to market conditions, or as another example, substances that are of concern due to new regional or global regulation, or substances in parts impacted due to other company activities, such as the need to reduce greenhouse gas footprint etc.

Major products that will be exhibited include MRPRO, EMSPRO and FEPRO. EMSPRO enables the complete calculation of product and facility environmental.

MRPRO supports Design for the Environment by easily exchanging product footprint, obsolescence information and due diligence communications in the realm of Montebello agreement, REACH, RoHS, RoHS-like (China, Korea), JMOSS, WEEE, EuP, AB 32 and other emerging regulations. MRPRO enables compliance by full support for data conforming to EIA, JEDEC, JIG (supports the latest JIG-101A), IPC and other emerging cross industry standards such as F-40 (ASTM) or a standard from SAE. MRPRO incorporates a full array of functions including aggregation, maximum rollups, use tracking, BOM scrubs, read-ins from test data or one hundred percent disclosures, direct importation and write-outs of hundreds of product/part files in standards based formats in a single batch and many other useful functions.
