- With tightened IT budgets, fast commissioning is a key deciding factor in choosing support hardware and software, as long as the functional requirements are met and we're not designing ourselves into a corner.
- My customers have to do more different products with the machines today.
- Everything needs to be âidiot proof due to what seems to be a less trainable work force.
- Information rules.
- The customer wants faster commissioning. Easier reconfiguration is dependent on system age. All suppliers are trying to improve diagnostics and troubleshooting. Those are some of the factors listed here that are part of my choice of guaranteed performance.
