How do you guarantee that a product will survive field conditions and longevity when you are creating products for customers? FACTS has a history of making PLCs for 34 years now and we learned how to test the PLCs from the original manufacturer of the 305. We learned from Koyo how to make a reliable product and it's more than just UL and CE. Those are important things, important standards that we adhere to and everything is tested to. But there are other things that we test that are way above the standard. And one of the things is this really harsh noise test. It's a 1000-volt spike that is a one nanosecond rise time. And that's almost impossible to do electronically, it's all done with switches and big capacitors and inductors. And that puts out a tremendous amount of noise. All of our products have to pass that, and we know if they pass that, they are definitely going to pass CE. Only the Koyo products and the FACTS products are the ones that we've seen that will pass that harsh of a test. So, we know it's going to be reliable when it gets out in the field. Let's now go to New Port Richey, Florida, to see firsthand how FACTS engineering sets the standard for controller endurance. Being able to build something that is going to be reliable really starts with the early on designs and designing the things in to know that you are going to pass that test. Because you can't wait until you have a product done and then start testing and hope you are going to pass these tests because it's just not going to happen. Now we have the capabilities in-house to test 80% of all of the CE tests we do in-house now so that when we do go for that full certification, it's pretty much a rubber stamp because we have done everything in-house.
