Product Launch

Jetcam International Holdings Ld 6 December 2000 JETCAM INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS LIMITED ('JETCAM' or 'the Company') JETCAM announces Shop Floor ExpertTM, a new product designed to reduce material wastage and increase machine shop productivity JETCAM International announces a new system, Shop Floor Expert, SFE. The innovative system solves the practical production problems encountered in sheet metal fabrication. Controlling the execution of work in sheet metal fabrication job shops is difficult and error prone. Moreover, there is a growing shortage of skilled labour and increasing competitive pressures. JETCAM's new product enables the production manager to specify, often fully automatically, exactly where newly manufactured components should be placed and the order in which they should be unloaded. Written messages for instructing operators can also be generated, all of which information is then disseminated as it arises to the shop floor by a laser beam system. The SFE system allows the production manager to run the machine shop largely from a computer terminal and control the movement of goods and materials without having to spend so much time on the factory floor itself. At the same time, the techniques involved remove many of the existing constraints on how jobs are executed, with resultant major savings in materials and production times. Ivan Stern, CEO of JETCAM, commented: 'This highly innovative new system gives the production manager the means to simplify a very complex job, to save time and materials where it was previously not possible, to keep much tighter control of factory assets and then to respond to a growing shortage of skilled sheet metal workers. As reliable and trouble-free as other JETCAM products, this system will reduce costs and turn around times.' 6 December 2000 ENQUIRIES: JETCAM Tel: 00 377 97 97 16 40 John Wright College Hill Tel: (00 44) 20 7 457 2020 Nicola Weiner nicola.weiner@colleghill.com
