Dan’s 10th Anniversary!
It is hard to believe that ten years have gone by since A.G.T. hired Dan Marchio. Dan was originally hired in 2001 as a Service Technician and, like A.G.T., he has grown in many ways. He quickly showed the ability to handle greater responsibilities and duties eventually becoming the Production Manager in 2006, a role he continues to fill today.
We’re sure that a lot of you have talked with or met Dan at one time or another and we think you will agree that he is an indispensable part of the A.G.T. family. Thanks Dan for your ten years of loyal service. We hope there will be many more.
Windows 7®
Earlier this year we started shipping new gauges with the latest Windows 7® operating system. This operating system upgrade allows us to offer new features in our gauges including, among other things, support for solid state hard drives and built in support for UPS battery backup systems.
Solid State Drives (SSD) have no internal moving parts making them immune to vibration. They are also immune to magnets and offer a substantial speed increase over standard mechanical hard drives. Because of this, they excel in harsh environments such as steel service centers.
In our continued effort to offer the best possible gauge we now ship all new gauges with these SSD drives. In addition, Windows 7® allows the gauge computer to monitor the Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) and shut itself down gracefully during power outages. These two new features will help keep our gauges on the cutting edge in terms of operation and reliability.
If you have an older system operating on a platform other than Windows 7® and would like a quote on upgrading your computer, please give us a call!
A/C Cabinet Option
The summer months are approaching and we all know how hot a steel service center can get. A.G.T. offers an air conditioning option for all of our new gauge cabinets. Computers running hot can cause errors and expedite failures so if you are considering a new gauge and think it could benefit from a little air conditioning please contact us for more information.
