December 3, 2008 Form Automation Solutions Expands Distribution NetworkAdvantage Industrial Automation expects strong demand for AuditMatic™ in Southeast region Advantage Industrial Automation (AIA), a leading value-added reseller of GE Fanuc and other factory automation solutions, has been selected as a distributor for AuditMatic™ -- the mobile worker data collection software from Form Automation Solutions, Inc. (FAS). AIA, which is headquartered in Duluth, Georgia northeast of Atlanta, has a significant market presence in the Southeast – Alabama, Georgia, the Carolinas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Florida panhandle and western Virginia. It will be the primary sales outlet to the industrial marketplace for FAS in those eight states, said Stephen Woram, founder and president of FAS. AuditMatic replaces the traditional clipboard-and-pen data-gathering tools used by production workers who are not tethered to a computer at a fixed location. AuditMatic software runs on hand-held computers and smart phones based on the Windows Mobile operating system. It is designed to provide mobile workers with contextual decision support and additional data-collection options such as photo and location capture while they perform their data collection rounds. Data collected using AuditMatic can be shared with HMI, DCS and other back-end systems to eliminate the costs, errors, and delays inherent in transcription of paper forms. First introduced in 2006, AuditMatic has been adopted by a wide range of manufacturing companies. “We think AuditMatic fills a critical need in the marketplace for manufacturing automation solutions,” said Steve Smith, AIA vice president and chief technology officer. “AuditMatic helps companies gain maximum value and productivity from their front-line workers as they make their rounds and collect data from non-instrumented equipment. Manufacturing companies are constantly looking for opportunities to automate processes and do more with less, and AuditMatic can help them do that.” “We are proud to be associated with AIA,” Woram said. “With a solid sales team and knowledgeable technical support engineers, AIA has a deep understanding of the needs of manufacturing companies and how AuditMatic fits the market. We look forward to a great relationship.” About Form Automation Solutions, Inc. Form Automation Solutions, Inc. focuses on the automation of mobile worker data collection and task management.
