While some companies have discontinued support for industrial panel mount message displays, Vorne continues strong with the 2000 Series Message Display and 2100 Series Message Display product lines. In particular, Vorne recently completed a major design update to the 2000 Series that enables continued long-term production. The design changes incorporate new technologies related to Vacuum Fluorescent (VFD) displays, and are transparent to the end-user. VFD displays offer outstanding brightness and readability, and are ideal for factory floor environments.

Vorne announced today that it has received a large order for XL800 products, to equip multiple print advertising manufacturing plants. What makes this event particularly interesting, is the order resulted from the very first XL unit shipped!

The customer chose Vorne XL because of the extreme flexibility, powerful integrated production monitoring features and exceptional value.

This is just one of many XL success stories. If you are seeking a solution to reduce downtime, enhance plant performance, or are engaged in visual factory initiatives, take a close look at XL products.

The XL800 was publicly unveiled this week at AutoTech 2004. XL has many features designed to address the needs of Tier One and Tier Two automotive suppliers, and provides one integrated solution for plant floor visuals and “bolt-on” production monitoring.

Some of the great comments we received from show visitors:

“Remarkable visibility! I saw the production numbers on your display from three aisles away. I simply couldn’t take my eyes off of it!”

“Unquestionably the best display at the show. If I never see another plasma display it will be too soon…the data is just so crisp on your display.”

“Data collection and a visual display in a single product? Great idea!”

Want to enhance productivity, reduce downtime – inform, alert and motivate employees? XL is the answer!

Vorne announced today a broad-based partnership with I/Gear Corporation. Based on a more than 10 year relationship with I/Gear and parent company Advanced Production Systems, the strength of the combined product solutions provides significant benefits to companies interested in lean manufacturing, performance management, and other productivity improvement initiatives.

Viewers are encouraged to click on the “Device” name and drill down into numerous production focused pages that can be customized by the end-user to show production data in a myriad of different ways.
