Entivity Boot Camps Scheduled!

Entivity continues to deliver support services to those who are in the decision process, just learning, or becoming masters in flowcharting. We have developed a wide-range of training classes that benefit every type of developer. Our Boot Camp training class appeals to those where are thinking about buying the product, but wants a hands-on demonstration to help decide. We have the Developers course that is an introductory course to those just learning flowcharting and PC-Based control. Additionally we offer an Applications course that expands on those concepts and delves deeper in the programming software. Finally, there is the Maintenance course that is offered for those who will be doing the debugging and maintenance of the project.

For more information on the courses, please visit Entivity's Training page.

 

Beginning in March, Entivity will be offering the Boot Camps in Ann Arbor, Michigan. These are in addition to those that are still offered by our ESPs. The next course is hosted by Industrial Logic on March 5th and 6th. Visit Entivity's Boot Camp site for more information.

Customer Profile of the Month

Lanco Assembly Systems

Read the entire story here!

Posco Steel is one of the world's largest steel companies. Based in South Korea, Posco has nearly 20 mills and produces nearly 27 million tons of steel yearly.

POSCO's history takes them back to 1966 when they were formed by the Korean government. Eventually in the year 2000, POSCO went into private

hands and quickly became the largest steel maker in the world. Now they are using Entivity VLC to expand on their past success.

"We've made the decision to standardize our control systems with Entivity PC-based control installed on each of our self-contained workstations in order to incorporate maximum flexibility and modularity"

- Han-Ku Park, Product Manager
