Greetings,
AMS exhibited at last month's Metalcon show with
much success. We introduced the new enhancements
to the XL200 (see feature at right) and showed off our
new QC100L Auto-Calibrating Length Measurement
System. We had two featured speakers at the
seminars: Our CEO, Rick Allman, presented "The
Benefits of Effective Shop Floor Control" and Andy
Allman, VP of Engineering presented "Application of
Identification Equipment". A link to Andy's
accompanying paper is below.
We'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone
who visited with us at Metacon. We hope to see you
at next week's Fabtech show in Chicago!
As always, we appreciate and look forward to your
feedback. Drop us line at
feedback@amscontrols.com.
