We have always felt that the incremental cost of replacing the I/O was well worth the peace of mind and enhanced diagnostic capabilities that modern I/O components offer. While we still feel it is the better option for most customers, we have come to understand that some potential customers just do not have the budget to justify the cost of our full upgrade. Others may not understand the full advantages of, or feel the need for, the better diagnostic capabilities.

Most of our competitors have never replaced the I/O with their upgrades and that has from time to time put us at competitive disadvantage. Several prospective customers wanted our time proved, fully integrated, solutions as well as the ability to add new modules as needed in the future, but just could not justify the price differential between us and our competitors.

Well now you can have it both ways. The Miracom non-I/O upgrade offers the same exact controls that we have always offered including our micro-zoning and address-specific capabilities as well as the ability to interface with upstream and downstream components of all kinds. And, if you decide later that you would like to upgrade the legacy I/O, we can also upgrade your I/O at a later time.

We readily interface to;

• Planning systems- Pretty much every planning system out there including, of course, Burt.
• Ad-Note applicators. We can zone control your ad-note applicator just as if it were a hopper.
• Address Labeling systems. In addition to our own fully integrated MiraLABEL/MiraJET address printing system we can interface to most of the systems out there.
• Bottom Wrap printers
• Stackers to create bundle breaks and bundle size changes based on zoning information.
• Bundle Distribution systems.
• Palletizers/Cart loaders

Advantages of NOT replacing the I/O

Mostly price - By not replacing all of the legacy I/O in a machine it reduces the cost considerably. In addition to not needing to buy the I/O components themselves, there are considerable labor savings including pre-building of a panel, onsite re-wiring, and testing.

Machine Downtime - In most cases it will reduce the machine downtime down to one day, or sometimes less depending on your production schedule, from the full I/O installation of two to four days.
