- Writing a customized application may mean one or more of the following:
- It could become a big and an expensive project
- If the project was not developed in-house, it might be difficult to manage, control, and enhance the features of the application.
- Continuous development is necessary to add features, functions, and bug fixes.
- Competitive pressures and technology advancements require continuous efforts and funds for the software development.
- Could become a drain on company's profitability.
- Software support has always been a cost center, never a profit center.
So, why write a customized application? Do what you do the best - Use your favorite design software, cut vinyl, and make signs. Wouldn't it be great to use your favorite vinyl cutting machine with ease?
Solustan's LinkMotion eliminates the need for customized application development for many of the motion control applications.
LinkMotion looks and feels like a printer driver within the PC/Windows architecture. Actually, it is a machine driver. It allows the user to design the job in one of the many popular applications like Corel Draw and send the job to the vinyl cutting machine as if you are printing the job.
For a simple example think about how your printer works. It doesn't matter what application you are using on your computer, you can always print to your printer. Whether its from your text editor, your web browser, your email program, or virtually any other application, you can always send documents out to your printer. This is because you have installed a 'driver' for your printer, that all programs can utilize. Shouldn't everything be this easy? Now, with Solustan's LinkMotion technology, it is.
You no longer have to worry about learning to use yet another piece of software. Are you comfortable with Corel DRAW, or perhaps a well-known CAD program? Wherever you are comfortable creating your designs, your work ends there. LinkMotion works with most popular design programs, so you can output your job straight from your favorite application!
- Upgrading features of the driver is as easy as installing the latest version of LinkMotion driver software on your PC.
- Older machines can be upgraded with Microsoft Windows' graphical interface and plethora of advantages can be had for your business. You can recover the cost of LinkMotion driver by the time you make a couple of signs.
