This company was my Official first one because was the first company where I worked after the Military Service.

Mainly I worked on products based on the Z80 system for many kind of applications.

Scales, pieces counter, packing plants, labeling plants and dose plants for many different environments.

For each product I was involved from the beginning, contacting the customer and understand his needs, helping to develop the hardware, developing the software and finally installing, testing and training the product to the customer.

Some standard product I worked on :

A standard interface for big scales.

A table top industrial scale, also capable to "count pieces" using the weight.
