Just getting rolling...a little behind due to a variety of things like 3 weeks of Jury Duty, new coil line, laser, waterjet, 4th tigerstop.
I'll be pushing a large batch of Carbon pipe through Stratus tomorrow to shortcut programming our Watts.
The system solves a lot of issues for us (or will do). But because it deals with your processes and workflow, it can take a bit of time to figure out what you want to do with it as it's pretty flexible.
I'm trying to gather stats now on how many Files it will eliminate on our servers. Every machine seems to come with it's own additional set of data and files to run them. That whole file based system relies of people to do the right thing, name things properly and put them in the right place. Shop then needs to be equally file savvy and know how to manage files. Stratus eliminates all that on a number of our machines.
Also lets me run a machine with only an Internet connection so no more having IT fight with the machine tool vendor about putting antivirus on the control as the networks no longer need to be integrated.
Give me a holler if you want to discuss more...you know where to find me David. :-)
