News from Customer:

Phase 2 will include both RoboCrib and AutoLockers at their coal generation plant. This will help with the management of tools, test kits and gages. The new system will allow OPPD to bill outside contractors for items they use.

"I think the thing to note is that the RoboCrib is sitting on our line dock and is not in a protected area. Although the docks are heated for winter, the doors are still open and shut a lot and the temperatures can get a little chilly here in Nebraska. Also, we have a lot of dust on the docks. The conditions have not caused any operation problems with the machine to date."
