Streaming Data Feed Increases Awareness of Critical Machine Parameters Without Interrupting Workflow

Montvale, NJ, April 2, 2002 - ei3 Corporation, a provider of online engineering and web-enabled applications that maximize manufacturing productivity, today announced Tracker(TM), a new tool that streams real-time data feeds of monitored process line activity across a computer screen.

Tracker uses a secure Internet session to keep manufacturers subtly aware of critical process line parameters that are continuously monitored by ei3.

In providing a snapshot of detailed machine parameters, Tracker extends the value of ei3's comprehensive suite of productivity tools, which monitor, analyze, support, control, and report on process line activity.
