Monode's Three Step Approach
Hands-on Analysis
The Monode engineering team believes that hands on is the best way to learn about you and your marking process. Whether your facility is an assembly plant in a nearby city or a NATO military base deep in a Norwegian cave, we'll bring our expertise to you. We want to meet your team and see your application in action. (If an in-person visit isn't an option, we can work remotely using sample parts.)
Detailed Scoping
Once we've seen your facilities and understand your marking needs, we define a specific solution. We work with you and your team to make sure all the necessary technical criteria and quality standards will be met by our solution. If you're supplying parts to another manufacturer, we can work with them to make sure their design standards will be adhered to. We then propose a design cycle, configuration, and necessary manpower and management options that are needed for your project, as well as a cost estimate and project timeline.
Testing and Support
No matter how many meetings and drawing approvals take place during a project, the bottom line is always the same – does this system work well? The Monode team takes pride in the fact that we don't walk away after we deliver the final product - we test our builds and make sure that they are meeting the client's exacting expectations. We additionally provide comprehensive training and technical support as required.
Platform Interoperability
Monode has the ability to craft a solution that adheres to any existing specified platform. For example, we can interface with Allen Bradley controls or an Oracle or SAP database.
