Custom modifications, if desired, are available on either a fixed-price or time-and-material basis. The Alloy Blending System is available in single or multi-user Windows versions, and operates on Intel hardware platforms utilizing Windows 95, 98, 2000, NT or XP (a DOS version of ABS is also available). ABS requires a Pentium class CPU with a minimum of 32MB of RAM and 50MB of available disk storage (disk storage is dependent upon the number of programs licensed and the amount of data entered). Pricing is dependent upon the number of elements of chemistry trying to be controlled in any one heat or charge (excluding residuals). ABS supports a maximum of 30 simultaneous control elements. Average, tangible cost savings using the ABS software range from US$30 to US$300 per blend. Intangible benefits can often be just as much, and system pay backs of four to five months are not uncommon. Besides cost savings, our clients receive improved chemistry control, particularly in final product consistency. Keystone Systems provides complete documentation and training on the ABS software. Free upgrades and support are provided for the first 60 days after installation. An optional plan for on-going software maintenance and support is also available. © Keystone Systems, Inc. |
