New HVAC in the Shop and Warehouse
As our business continues to grow so do the number of projects that require time and space in our shop and warehouse. This meant it was time for a big upgrade to our HVAC system! It wasn't a simple, inexpensive upgrade, but it was necessary. We look forward to continuing to fill the shop floor and warehouse with many of your projects. Click below to find out more!

Business is Personal

ENGINEERING CORNER
Location Labeling in the Warehouse
Setting up a new warehouse is no easy task, especially a warehouse with a large variety of products. The entire floor plan must be mapped out and labeled so that product can be tracked coming in and out of the facility. This is a huge job that can be daunting for a company to take on themselves. In this customer solution, we worked with the customer to create the layout and label each product location both on racks and floor space. Click below to find out more!
TECH TIPS
Using Zebra Hardware with a PLC
Continuing the theme of highlighting obscure Zebra connectivity tools, this month we focus on Network Connect. This is a tool from Zebra that allows you to connect both scanners and label printers directly to your PLC without the need for much more complex PLC programming.
