February 2010

 

 

From the Desk of Rick Dahlstrom,
Exec. VP of Sales & Marketing:
This year marks the 100th Anniversary of McNaughton-McKay. During the year, via our website, you will be able to read about our heritage, as well as the people who shaped the company. At the core, we were built on a foundation of superior customer service delivered through quality suppliers and outstanding employees. Those ideals continue to drive our business 100 years later.
 

At no point in our history has the company been as severely tested as in 2009. Many difficult decisions were made, but always with the objective of keeping our customer service at acceptable levels. If your experience with McNaughton-McKay diminished in any way, we want to know. Either contact your local sales representative or e-mail me at dahlstrr@mc-mc.com.

As we look to the future, we are optimistic that the worst is behind us and excited about emerging opportunities. This past year we have been making great strides to diversify our business. In the area of renewable energy we now have a suite of suppliers that allow us to deliver a complete solar energy solution. With our Rockwell Automation partnership, we can provide a complete integrated production environment for the process industries through the PlantPAx offering. Our traditional industrial and construction markets are in need of investment and many of you are busy planning for upgrades in the coming months. We have many new products and services to introduce and look forward to assisting you in your future expansions.

We know that success in 2010 can only happen because of you, our valued customer. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you in the future and thank you for your past support.

Intelligent Industrial ETHERNET Solutions by Hirschmann
In the future, standardized, low-cost transmission technologies such as Industrial ETHERNET and IP will increasingly be used in the close-to-machine process levels which were previously clearly dominated by field bus systems such as Profibus, CAN or Interbus.

The prerequisite for this is Industrial ETHERNET components which are able to cope with harsh factory floor conditions, and operate there fault-free over the long term. In addition to an IP 67 switch, an appropriately robust and compact M12 connector is required to guarantee reliable real time transmission with high availability. At the same time, high installation and wiring costs can be reduced by using switches directly in the field. But this demands the appropriate intelligent, manageable Industrial ETHERNET switches which are also able to provide redundancy mechanisms such as HIPER-Ring or access control according to IEEE 802.1X. With the new OCTOPUS family, the first manageable switches at the field level, Hirschmann offers the optimum solution. The OCTOPUS family has the necessary internal resources for extended management by SNMP, as well as prioritization and traffic shaping. This means that Industrial ETHERNET with extended scope of functions can now also be used in previously inaccessible places – without large-scale cabling.  Click to learn more about this product
