Grand Rapids, MI -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/10/2016 -- The automated mini-load system (MLS) is the heart of ODU Steckverbindungssysteme GmbH & Co. KG. However, after 14 years in service, the system was on the verge of meltdown: Downtimes of up to 27 hours paralyzed the entire company. An extensive system upgrade undertaken by viastore SYSTEMS now ensures that the MLS, which was built by a third-party supplier, can once again be relied upon.
