| Fast
Development Time
Delivery time from specification approval to prototype can be as
short as six weeks.
Low
Development Costs
Up-front charges, if any,
relate to non-recurring tooling.
Lower
Recurring Costs
WRD controls cost 33%
to 50% less
than PLC’s or “off-the-shelf” solutions just in hardware alone.
Your ability to recoup low (if any) non-recurring expenses
is measured in months instead of years.
Custom
Engineered Solutions
Using the full flexibility of ProductMaker,
WRD will design and manufacture a control tailored specifically
to your application with enhanced performance and features.
Reduced
Manufacturing Time
One custom unit is installed in a fraction of the time it takes
to mount, wire, and program multiple off-the-shelf conglomerations.
WRD 100% functionally tests all controls before they leave our factory,
thereby virtually eliminating line rejects.
Easy,
Fast, Customer-Satisfying
Field Serviceability
WRD controls “plug’ n play” - machine downtime is minimal.
Reduced
Inventory Costs
One microprocessor-based control can be configured to work in several
different models or families of equipment allowing you to reduce
your inventory levels and maintenance costs.
Continuing
Support
Responding to ever-changing market demands with refinements and
enhancements is a positive experience.
WRD controls utilize in-circuit or flash programmable components.
WRD provides lasting and continuing service to our customers.
New Thinking of Two Concerns
Oriented
toward buying, installing, and having to set-up an off-the-shelf
PLC and concerned about not being able to “do your own programming”
on a custom control?
Don't be.
WRD controls come “fully programmed” and are ready to work right
out of the box. Changing
set-ups or parameters such as speed, dwell, temperature, or even
machine model type is easily accomplished through the user interface.
A standard control feature, WRD creates UI's that are among
the most intuitive in the industry.
Concerned
about being dependant on a sole source supplier of proprietary
products?
Lay your fears to rest.
WRD’s existence is based on providing manufactured
goods. (We make our
money on production.)
It is clearly in our best interest to perform and supply
our customers in a timely and efficient manner.
"WRD's success
is tied to the success of our customers. If we interfere with
our customer’s ability to succeed, we suffer".
Every specification contains the written promise that if we are
not able to provide manufactured goods in the manner that meets
our customer's needs, we will either find someone who can, or simply
give the manufacturing information to our customer.
“Surveys
show 80% of all embedded systems are delivered late.
Tools
that help us write more code faster,
are just part of the solution. Clearly
a new model of reuse is desperately needed.
The biggest change will be in our attitudes,
our approach to building products."
