GREENVILLE, SC-Cernotec, a South Carolina-based enterprise application and technology integrator, announces that it has developed the industry's first ThinStation(TM) unit-a flexible and maintenance-free solution specifically designed to meet the needs of web-enabled manufacturers and their suppliers, distributors, and customers.

Recently purchased for Avery Dennison's flagship Office Products label printing and converting plant in Gainesville, GA, the ThinStation terminals will be used throughout the plant to provide operations, support, and management with a streamlined, user-friendly interface to Cernotec's web-enabled Real-Time Plant Floor Manufacturing Intelligence and Manufacturing Execution System (MES) solution. "The terminals will help Avery Dennison achieve a low 'Total Cost of Ownership' or TCO by incorporating an architecture that reduces maintenance, downtime, and overall IT system workload demand," said Jason Premo, Cernotec's executive vice president of business development.

Completely self-contained, the ThinStation terminal by Cernotec combines the high-end functionality of a Windows® XP environment with the value, cost-effectiveness, and portability of a thin-client terminal that is optimized for serving local, web, wireless, and legacy-based applications. It features a compact design with no hard drive, no floppy drive, and no CD-ROM to ensure greater speed, reliability, and security.

In addition, the ThinStation unit can be moved quickly and conveniently throughout an entire enterprise, allowing users to position it virtually anywhere on the factory floor regardless of an area's size or space restrictions. The ThinStation can be configured with a wide range of processors, memory, multimedia, and peripheral support capabilities, including operator touch screen, 802.11b wireless, barcode scanning, and more to accommodate virtually all manufacturing and supply chain application requirements.
