Client Spotlight:
Rocky Mountain Forest Products (RMFP), based in Laramie, Wyoming, is one of the nation's foremost manufacturers of small pattern pine wood molding. When many of RMFP's retail customers requested bar codes on their products, the company contacted MAMTC for help in developing and implementing a machine that could apply the bar codes to the molding at high speeds. A team of company and MAMTC engineers developed a software control system to monitor the position of the wood in the machine, measure the wood and apply the bar code labels to the appropriate wood size in whatever configuration the customer specified. The new system can process 60 wood sticks per minute, and the company believes the new competitive edge the system brings may help annual sales grow by $2 million. General Manager Cliff Asay said, "The MAMTC engineers have been wonderful partners in moving our processes forward. It's great to have professionals in our corner helping clear the way for the success of our company." |
