OREANDA-NEWS. Fujitsu Limited and Fujitsu Systems West Limited today announced the availability of FUJITSU Manufacturing Industry Solution PLEMIA SQ-Tracer V3, the company's software package for implementing traceability in the design phase of embedded-system and software development. This product was developed by Fujitsu Systems West Limited and will initially only be available in Japan.

The new version enables even higher-quality development support by making it possible to link not only Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word files, but other files of various formats associated with the designs that each developer is in charge of, and to check to see just how these files are related. In addition, the status of these files has been made more easily viewable by putting them in a single-view display.

For the medical sector, it is expected that, with the Amended Pharmaceutical Affairs Law(1) going into effect at the end of 2014, even standalone software that stores biological data or displays visual information will be treated as a medical device, making it subject to restrictions on sales and distribution. For that reason, the company has enhanced its sales for the medical industry, as it previously has done for the automotive, precision-equipment, and electronics industries, contributing to the development of high-quality, safe products by customers in all these sectors.

This product will be exhibited at MEDIX, the Fifth Medical Devices Development & Manufacturing Exposition, running at Tokyo Big Sight.
