Welcome to the September 2011 edition of our eNewsletter.
As we near the last day of summer, many companies are working toward wrapping up this year’s business season. As the U.S. economy continues to stumble, clawing its way to better days, success metrics are best kept relative to the last couple of years. Still, there have been bright spots from many of you, and I appreciate your e-mails.
In this newsletter we have five new articles from our team of expert industry veterans, and one exclusive video. I recently tallied our columns and articles from the past 30 months since starting MachineControlOnline. There are more than 250 unique items—the largest knowledge base of its kind—providing a laser focus on 3D machine control and positioning
technology. I would like to thank all the contributors, sponsors and readers who have helped make this possible.
Also, if you haven't seen our second issue of Machine Control Magazine, please click on the cover for 9 articles and a wealth of product resources.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if there is any subject about which you would like to see more information.
