The Benefits of Using Huffman's OAC

Huffman's OAC alternative provides a simple and cost-effective system to our customers. The system uses commercial off-the-shelf components and can be upgraded with ease. And with Huffman's MAVIS software, productivity is increased and cycle time is optimized.

The PC technology eliminates non-productive time spent waiting for DNC uploads and downloads. Operators need less training with the easy to use touchscreen, flat-panel display which eliminates the need for a mouse. Customized operator panels and simultaneous processing through Windows XP® offers the flexibility of real-time collection and display of statistical process control data.

Huffman's OAC takes advantage of the pcANYWHERE® software and an internal modem so that you know your Huffman machine system has less downtime and can be instantaneously serviced through a remote diagnostic system. Also, you can be assured of increased security with password protection for machine functions and parameter accessibility.
