The machines were placed in an area that did not have easy access to the LAN connections.

Company Views A Paperless Future
In spite of high precision machinery employed in this plant, engineers were forced to carry program updates on floppy disks to each individual operator. This meant inefficiencies, duplicated effort and production lags, especially when they added 15 new machines to its plant floor in a 2-year period.
