MECHANICAL solutions, technology RECYCLE and MOTION AUTOMATION
'All works' of Sime Oy and Jouni Erikkilä include 118 works.
All the works after 1994 without few consulting examble, programs, mechanics and automation are digitally produced and documented. Instead of showing desing material, we hope that pictures of actual finished work is more informative.
We have 28 years experience of drawing with CAD, programming different PLC programs and developing computer solutions.
This presentation is produced on WINDOWS 8 with technologies like Visual Studio 2010, HTML5,CSS, SQL and C#. Solution is running on Internet Information Services 7.
We study all the time both new and old technologies solutions. Past two years we have been interested on relativity. See more that from www.theswaytec.com.
