Cleaning Mobile Computers, Log Application, Cognex Promotion, and More!
We didn’t want to release our March Newsletter without some acknowledgement of the troubling times that we find ourselves in right now. Our goal is to always best serve our customers in good times and bad.

With that in mind, please see the Tech Tip from Zebra showing how to clean your mobile computers. There is actually more to this than you might think.

Another offer that we have is for our customers that need printer service work done but currently have a no visitor policy. We have options!

One of our service vehicles can come to you and pick up printers that need repaired, or you can ship them to us for repair. Simply reach out to [email protected] for a quick response. We will repair the printers here in our shop, thoroughly clean them and return to you in a very short amount of time.

Let us know how we can help and we look forward to a more upbeat newsletter in April!
