TheMonty.com is an industry magazine for Heat Treat companies like ours. Gordon Montgomery, who runs The Monty, visited us last week and ran a small piece about our Duncan plant. He took special notice of our machine control and order management system:

"... what is impressive is the advanced state of their data logging and order entry systems. Even including captive heat treaters with multi million dollar budgets this has to be the most advanced computer control of furnaces that we have ever seen (largely developed on their own by the way) and includes fingerprint scanning before any changes can be made ..."

The system is the brain child of my General Manager, Tim Meyers. For the last 4 years I've designed and implemented the system along with Brian Konopka, president of BK Instrumentation, a control and automation specialist. The recognition is great!
