2010-06-10 - Microsoft Case Study 06-07-2010
A new application of Microsoft technology will help Peachtree City, GA – based Metalforming Inc.’s roofing customers improve their efficiencies and communications. Designed with the Atlanta-based Georgia Institute of Technology, MFI’s newest network, OnLink, will bring the remote-service capability of the company’s top European-designed machines to an advanced level.
“The impact on the roofing industry will be similar to what satellite technology has done for the car industry,” explains Bill Wilkins, MFI executive vice president and chief information officer. “It will offer a variety of communications tools, such as voice, video, health monitoring and productivity reporting, from the machine directly to MFI’s unified-communications infrastructure. This will allow MFI to provide instantaneous servicing, training and troubleshooting support for its broad customer base.”
The technology is made possible by next-generation software based on the Microsoft.Net 3.5 framework. The system allows total compatibility and connectivity to a wide range of computers and software.
MFI also has become a Microsoft TAP program developer to allow further beta development and testing of Microsoft’s Wave 14 OCS platform, its next-generation unified-communications product.
“OnLink combined with a high-quality level-three infrastructure now provides the needed competitive differentiator that has reinvented the stand-alone machine into a fully networkable and remote servicing system,” Wilkins notes. To learn more, click on the Microsoft Link below.

2009-01-15 - Supercharged Jorns now a Reality
New Supercharged Jorns
The new Jorns Supercharger combines the extremely fast processing speed of the new CNC 600 control, new backgauge servo motors and new proportional valve hydraulic technology to provide the fastest long folder in the world. The system is 50% faster than older style (pre 2004). Jorns machines are 25% faster than competitive machines.
The extra speed compared to the competition should result in an extra 5-7 pieces of average trim per hour. That’s 10,000 to 14,000 ft more per year with the same labor input!! And against older machines it’s 20,000 to 28,000 more ft of trim per year.
