WHY IS THE MAGUIRE TOUCH SCREEN CONTROL BETTER?

Competition’s Touch Screen Control
Most blender controls are off-the-shelf generic PLC controls with these characteristics:
• Good for control of I/O.
• Slow at mathematical calculations (the heart of any blending system).
• Touch screen response is slow because it is a remote device operated by the PLC.
• Has no printer interface so cannot print without a PC link.

Superior Maguire Touch Screen Control
• Linux based computer providing high speed, multi-tasking, precision control.
• High speed mathematical calculations.
• USB connectivity:
      – Upload / download capability.
      – Direct print capability.
• Better graphics capability.
• Unlimited flexibility.
• Touch screen is the Maguire computer’s high speed display module, not a remote device.
