their customers' problems.
"VisualPlant is dominating
Manufacturing Intelligence
and we've seen first-hand
how quickly it turns prospects
into believers," said Synapse

platform has such a robust

and compared to the historical
information it has collected.
There is nothing available
that does this as well as
VisualPlant."
VisualPlant is the
world's first and only off-the-shelf
manufacturing software that
analyzes the activity of every
machine in the plant and feeds
this information live to employees'
desktops. What happened last
month on a plant floor can
be compared to what is happening
right now, to improve total
plant efficiency and build
a better link to the supply
chain. It is a live, direct,
secure connection to the machines
on the plant floor with a
simple interface that can
be configured by any user
in the enterprise to analyze
the specific data needed.

Important news! You're
about to get the same great
engineering and technical
services you're accustomed
to under a new name and company!
Gray Matter Systems,
the recognized leader in providing
off-the-shelf, expandable,
enduring solutions for the
industrial automation market,
is now announcing the separation
of its engineering and consulting
group from the rest of the
company. The new company -

Synapse Systems' mission is to create value and opportunity
for your business. We do this
by combining our engineering
resources, industry standard
software platforms, and market
knowledge to create innovative
solutions to challenging industrial
problems.
Several reasons behind
this separation are; the pursuit
of an independent mission,
substantial growth and investment
plans for our energy, batching,
discrete, and MES business
practices; the recent acquisition
of Wizdom Controls, Inc. including
the Paradym-31 product line;
a one-stop resource with expanded
capabilities-for meeting your
total engineering, automation,
and plant requirements-both
domestically and internationally.
You'll notice our
name change soon on all our
mailings, packaging, invoices,
and promotional materials.

a new name and company. If
you have any questions, please
feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
