I am starting to believe that selling an appliance, that happens to run EMC2 might be the best way. Linksys did it with the imfamous WRT routers that run Linux, so using EMC2 in a similar way by putting it in a 'controller box' that could be a full computer or just a 'headless controller' that takes in SD cards with g-code on it. Or go the other way and make it fully network attached with all the touch screens, web cams, and other gizmoz anyone wants to attach. Then it is a 'product' and you aren't selling EMC2, or just the service of providing configured EMC2. ... I wonder if this would 'sell better' than a software only product?
Proper NC controllers can cost quite a bit. Add in the retail cost of an industrial computer, shop read NEMA enclosure, Gecko drivers, etc, and it is easy to run a couple of grand without sweating and before you have a machine to attach it to. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Oracle to DB2 Conversion Guide: Learn learn about native support for PL/SQL, new data types, scalar functions, improved concurrency, built-in packages, OCI, SQL*Plus, data movement tools, best practices and more. http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
