Today’s industrial environment is filled with ways to increase profit, meet challenges of competition, improve market share, reduce operating costs, and manage state-of-the-art production and distribution facilities throughout the supply chain.

To assist such managers, top managements have realized that to accomplish these goals and overcome complexities, they had to provide computerized systems designed to simplify and/or eliminate paperwork; automate and implement robotic equipment, machinery and devices for eliminating manual labor tasks; and provide an operating environment that ensures employee contentment and increased productivity.
