Procter
and Gamble Looks to Strongarm for Operator Interface Solutions  Procter and Gamble, the world's leading maker and distributor
of household consumer products and the 8th largest corporation
in the world by market capitalization, has looked to Strongarm
to provide solutions for the ergonomic challenges that their
plant operators encounter. These include making operator stations
comfortable for a variety of different users, and mounting
them in various locations while maintaining user-friendliness.
To solve these challenges, Strongarm Designs has provided
Procter and Gamble with the ergonomically friendly Mightymount.
The fully articulating MightyMount is the first ever machine-grade
display and keyboard mounting, built from sturdy cast aluminum.
Vertical positioning is quick and secure with smooth, counter-balanced
adjustability. The display and keyboard stay perfectly level
as they travel vertically, and they can be repositioned effortlessly
with one hand.
Luke Jackson, Team Leader at the P&G North Carolina Facility,
says “We selected the MightyMount because of the small
space it requires. We have many of these systems in place and
have been very pleased with their flexibility and durability.
We can mount the system and not have to make any modifications
to the stands. The MightyMount gives us many positioning options
to accommodate the different preferences of all the machine
operators. Short or tall technicians can adjust the computer
screen and keyboard to a comfortable position, and the ability
to save on floor space is also a plus.”
You can see the MightyMount at Pack Expo, the Emerson Global
Users Exchange, and the Worldwide Food Expo, where
STRONGARM will
be demonstrating the MightyMount along with other products
from their line of operator interface systems

Q.
What are the benefits of split architecture?
Split
architecture, in which the PC is separated from the display,
provides a number of advantages over housing the PC in
the display enclosure. For one, relocating the PC allows
the display enclosure to be as compact as possible, providing
greater flexibilty in locating the system exacly where
needed. Secondly, having the PC located remotely makes
it easier to maintain the ideal operating temperature
inside the display enclosure without the need for robust
cooling options. And finally, keeping the PC in a remote
location through the use of a KVM extender allows the
PC to be maintainenanced away from the plant floor;
ideal for IT technicians and situations where PC maintenance
is regularly performed. All STRONGARM systems can be
engineered to take advantage of the benefits that split
architecture has to offer.
