JoAnn , trying to fish you out from deep waters , Jack is right . I've had Swedes here today ; I just got My19, she's a mile long ; so I laid on them your problem ; because it's my also . Hopefully Thomas will write you back in English and before Tuesday . 1 Barcode download of components and quantities ; tied with a bar code labeling of boards ; see if he can do it in serials sequentially controlled via feeder dispensing . CAD download of files ; pads , etc. You know that one . MRP download of controlled batch No.s of componentry ; their travel record in board batches (first in first out) ; and upload of usage back to MRP for back-flash . This one is hard one ; he'll crack on that . IF not I buy from him too . This should count the scraps (misses) as well . 2 Mydata ; but not as far as Mycam ( Unicam ) ; you've got the top one . 3 Us ; and many others in US > ask the rep for users listing . Than phone round . Mycam is great with a lot of options attachables . Not cheap . We presently battle all above See you paul >---------- >From: Paul Klasek >Sent: Thursday, 7 May 1998 12:20 >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: RE: [TN] Need advice/recommendations > > >Thomas, > >var kund Resmed i Sydney far besok av Unicam pa tisdag och de vet inte alls >vilka fragar de skall stalla till teknikern som kommer enligt nedanstaende >mail.
