In my examples of PLC training (a big way to reduce downtime and increase the bottom line), many electrical contractors and Engineering firms do not provide manufactures with machine support service. So these type companies can supplement the decline in installation sales by offering to come into manufacturing facilities and get the machines back up and running when they break down. The Electrical contractors and Engineering firms need only insure they have enough personnel trained in PLC troubleshooting. - Don Fitchett Sat, 06 Dec 2008 08:22:32 +0100
