Promac, the window and glass industry’s leading supplier of machinery and service solutions for 31 years, is delighted to offer existing customers of Rapid cutting and machining centres a production enhancement package that delivers a “guaranteed” 20% improvement to production output. Promac - in conjunction with Rapid - have developed a cost effective combination of hard and software upgrades that, when retro fitted to the machining centres mainframe, will result in a 20% improvement to its overall production output. Jeff Rooke, Promac’s Group Technical Manager explains: “The Andras software and hardware upgrades delivers a system change to a Windows based operating system, replacing the current machinery control system and units to standard PCs, making operator interface much more friendly.
“The existing machinery control system can prove limiting due to the number of applications it can process at any one time however the new system is truly multitasking making it much quicker, resulting in massive improvements in production output. There is also an option for tailoring the operating systems software to archive production data for post production analysis - a requirement that many production managers need at the end of every shift. Depending on the specifics of the individual machine the upgrade only takes a day to implement, which can, if requested, be done during a weekend to keep downtime to a minimum. In comparison to the cost of an additional or brand new machine, the investment in the upgrade is relatively small yet the positive impact it has on production is huge, making the decision to upgrade an easy one.”
Joe Hague, Promac’s Group Commercial Director concludes: “The upgrade to the range of Rapid Cutting and Machining Centre is just the latest in a line of enhancements that Promac is committed to bringing forward to its customers. As well as window and glass machinery sales, we support the market with a dedicated team of spare parts advisors and field service engineers to ensure our customers reap the long term benefits of capital investment.”
