CastExpo '08 was held May 17th thru May 20th in Atlanta, Georgia.  We always look forward to visiting with our existing clients as well as the opportunity to meet many new faces.

 

Since we have been back we have been busy sending out literature to all individuals that stopped by our booth and have been scheduling demonstrations.  If you have not received your literature or would like to schedule a demonstration please contact Jenny Gladczak at jennyg@guardiansoft.com .

 

Guardian Software also debuted a new video produced by Mindpool Productions.  Thank you to all that took to time to watch our new video.  

      

 

                                 

 

Guardian had received a number of request from our existing clients pertaining to physical certification and serialization.  Prior to the users group,  these users were invited to discuss their specific requirements and share their ideas how Guardian could help with these requirements.  This group consisted of members from American Foundry Group, Pure Casting Co., Wisconsin Precision Casting Co., and Yankee Casting.

 

On April 29th and 30th, a group of Guardian's users met in Oconomowoc, WI for Guardian's Software's 2008 User Group meeting.  The meeting began with an introduction and over overview of Guardian's newest module " Paperless Routing and Touch Screen Data Collection."  The group then boarded a bus and headed out to Wisconsin Precision Casting to see how they have implemented this module. 

                   

 

 

 

 After the tour the entire group went out for dinner, drinks, and Le Duc's Frozen Custard.  This was a nice time for users to get to know each other and a good time was had by all.

 

                                    

 

The following day was down to business.  The agenda included presentations from Guardian on "State of Guardian Software"  "Upcoming Programming Changes", "New Hardware/Software Considerations", "Certifications", "Advance Shipping Notices", "Preventative Maintenance" and "Corrective Action". 

 

The next session was lead by Jogi Makhani of American Foundry Group and Cliff Fischer, of Wisconsin Precision Casting.  During this time the users had a chance to talk amongst themselves and develop a list of ideas, changes, and suggestions which they then prioritized and presented to Guardian.

 

                     

 

Additional subcommittees were created  for the Corrective Action Module, and the Preventative Maintenance Module.  If you were not able to attend the users group and you would like to join either of these sub committees, please contact Jeff Kroneberg at  jeffk@guardiansoft.com.
