According to Hertzler’s CEO, Evan J Miller, “Our clients, like ECT, know that accurate data acquisition solutions are vital to efficiency, cost-savings, and time-savings. Only when these real-time data are available can a company improve their process.”
Chad Roehner explained that, “Statistical Process Control (SPC) software by Hertzler Systems, was obtained for our catalyst division, Environmental Catalyst Technology (ECT). We use the software to monitor our catalyst processing. We looked at Gainseeker (Hertzler’s software solution) to allow us to have tighter control on our processing. Our failure rate is extremely low however gaining a tighter control on our processing allows us to give the customers exactly what he wants and what he has paid for. The software allows us to have more quality checks and gives us real time feed back so in the event that some would get out of spec we have the capability to immediately correct the situation or if we need to quarantine the product so out a spec product does not reach the customers. In providing catalysts/catalytic converters, we have to insure that they work 100% of the time and our customers rely on that from us.”
Roehner also noted that, “The advantages of SPC are controlling the raw material utilization. The materials the go into a catalysts are very expensive, for example the precious metal –rhodium costs $10,000/ounce (in comparison gold cost only $900/ounce.) Working with Hertzler was a good experience for us and we will work with them in the future. They delivered product (software) that is doing what we expected it to do.”

Accurate Real-time Data Acquisitions Works for Environmental Catalyst Technology
January 12th, 2010An Introduction to Document Management
October 8th, 2009Nearly every business, organisation, company, charity, government department etc. rely on their documents to store data and keep information readily available. Organisations can create hundreds of thousands, even millions of documents every year, all of which has to be filed, stored, indexed, accessible and protected. It is becoming an increasingly large and arduous task for many if not most companies.
This paper trail mountain has also led to serious environmental concerns as well as cost concerns from storing and using all this paper. So with the advent of scanners, ocr and cheaper computer storage, it is only logical that organisations would look to start storing this information electronically.
Document management software, or ‘paperless office’ technology, replaces paper-based processes with electronic procedures, eliminating the printing, posting and manual filing of paper documents. There are standalone document management systems available as well as systems which tightly integrate into organisations’ business accounting software and ERP systems. With tightly integrated document management systems, directly from a company’s business accounting software/ERP system and with just a few clicks of the mouse, business documents, such as invoices and statements, are automatically created, delivered, archived and retrieved.
Document management not only cuts paper, making good environmental sense, it also makes good business sense, forming a convincing proposition for any type of organisation. Some of the key benefits include improved cash flow, cost and time savings and enhanced customer service. The secure storage of documents in an electronic archive also means that invoices, statements and debtor’s letters etc. cannot be lost or misfiled and can be accessed at a moments notice anywhere in the world
