2. Shrinking resource allocation |
| |
Manufacturing staffs are now at staffed at levels that would have been inconceivable just a few years ago. Time for training, planning and documenting is just not available in some companies. More and more manufacturers are depending on their suppliers, distributors and integrators to bring complete solutions that meet their cost and time-to-market pressures.
Integrators, under continuous price pressure, are not only staffed lower overall but staff projects with fewer resources than just a few short years ago. The ability to speedily create a solution is more important than ever.
In this resource-starved environment, a network Drive System controller supplier that supports multiple drive system networks, delivers clear, concise documentation, exceptional diagnostics and reliable operation is hard for competitors to displace. |

3. Demands For Increased Productivity and Uptime |
| |
Now more than ever, Drive System systems must contribute to an overall increase in quality, productivity and uptime. Market demands include diagnostics data (from simple cycle counts to failure predictions), shorter integration time, seamless integration into the customers chosen control scheme and immediate failure alarming. |

4. Massive Technology Enhancements |
| |
Controls technology enhancements over the last 10-20 years are going to be far outpaced by the enhancements to control technology over the next 3-5 years. Better, cheaper microprocessors with massive storage and outstanding computational capabilities are beginning to revolutionize the controls market. “Pre-wired” for CAN (Control Area Network), Profibus™ or even Ethernet these systems make network enabling your Drive System controllers more important than ever. |
