Highlights from a consultation meeting I had for a plant a client is setting up near Chicago. "Can the control system run on aluminum wires? We want to limit the copper we have in the building because 99 out of 100 people we interviewed were addicted to crack or meth." "Does this operator interface software support emojis? The literacy rate of our employees isn't...well...let's just say frowny face and smiley face pictures would be better understood there" "We can provide you top notch bodyguards when we need to call you in to work on an issue." ===== rcvrd jan 2021
