Unitronics klaar voor beurs met beter dan verwachte resultaten

vrijdag 03 september 1999
Aanraden

Unitronics maakt Programmable Logic Controllers of PLC's - dat zijn toestelletjes waarmee allerlei productieprocessen kunnen worden geautomatiseerd (DS 14 juni). De innovaties waarmee het bedrijf de wereldmarkt hoopt te veroveren, zijn de OPLC (een PLC die niet langer met traditionele I/O-kaarten werkt, maar met een schermpje en een toetsenbord) en vooral de WebPLC. Dat is een PLC die de mogelijkheid biedt om via het Internet informatie of commando's uit te wisselen, zowel met andere PLC's als met een menselijke operator. De WebPLC maakt het mogelijk om bijvoorbeeld productielijnen te sturen vanop de andere kant van de aardbol.
De beursgang van Unitronics, begeleid door Smeets Securities, moet nog goedgekeurd worden door de Bankcommissie, maar gedelegeerd bestuurder Haim Shani denkt dat de komende weken zal gebeuren.
Intussen zat het bedrijf niet stil. De ,,M90-Micro OPLC'', de eerste OPLC van handpalmformaat, komt momenteel op de markt en volgens Shani is er erg veel vraag naar. De eerste operationele test van een WebPLC loopt sinds enkele weken met succes in een Israëlisch bedrijf. Over een half jaar zal de WebPLC als apart product te koop zijn, maar de eerste orders liepen al binnen. In een latere fase wil Unitronics ook al zijn bestaande producten met een web-interface uitrusten.
Unitronics bereikt deze maand al zijn budgettaire doelstellingen voor heel 1999. De omzet in de eerste jaarhelft bedroeg 3,5 miljoen dollar, niet veel minder dan de 4,02 miljoen die eerst voor heel het jaar was vooropgesteld. In plaats van een break even zullen we dit jaar wellicht al een kleine winst boeken, denkt Shani. (WDP)

STORY OF THE YEAR 1999 FROM UNITRONICS

1999 the Company completed the development and commenced sales of its M90 micro

OPLC™ Series, which the Company believes to be one of the world’s smaller size HMI/PLC

devices. The products of this series are palm-sized devices that contain a fully functional HMI operator interface comprising 15 configurable touch keys and a 16-character LCD text display, as well as a fixed I/O configuration including analog I/Os and a

high-speed counter. The M90 micro OPLC™ is intended to

provide a competitively priced solution for simple automated

tasks or other simple industrial applications. It is particularly

intended for use in automated building environments as well as

for security applications.

The M90 micro OPLC™ Series was unveiled at the 1999

Hannover exhibition in Germany. The Company believes that the

series addresses market demand for a fast-growing segment

within the industrial automation sector: the micro-controller

market. In 2000, Unitronics released to the market a new line of I/O expansion plug-in modules, allowing up to 64 additional I/Os to be connected to a single M90 micro OPLC™ controller. These modules are designed to upgrade the functional capability of the M90 by allowing it to

automate a broader spectrum of systems, machines and processes.

In 2001, Unitronics commercially released its new Vision Series of products. The Vision

Series is an advanced series of small and medium size PLCs with integrated graphic Operator interface, optional snap-in I/O modules and powerful networking features. Through this new series, Unitronics offers controllers with graphical interface, at a substantially lower cost as compared to existing solutions in the market.

The Vision Series is designed to implement Unitronics' continued strategy, to target OEMs

seeking cost-effective PLCs for small and medium size machines and devices, requiring an

HMI operator interface with graphical capabilities. Unitronics believes

the inherent flexibility of these all-in-one products provides compelling

solutions intended to reduce overall system engineering costs. The

first commercially released product of this series, the Vision230™,

includes a graphical illuminated LCD screen, a 24-key customizable

keyboard, an optional snap-in I/O module and communication ports.

The Company also provides certain software solutions within the

scope of comprehensive factory automation and system integration,

based on implementation of Unitronics’ line of products. These include
solutions such as automatic warehouse systems, logistic distribution centers, process control systems and others.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Selling and marketing – These expenses (net) amounted to approximately NIS 8,814

thousand for the year ended December 31, 2001 compared to approximately NIS 4,285

thousand for the year ended December 31, 2000. The doubling in selling and marketing

expenses is largely due to implementation of the Company’s marketing strategies, especially the efforts to penetrate the

market, and to enhance and expand the Company's distribution network world-wide including by way of in-depth technical training of existing distributors, and continuous search for new distributors.

The Company believes that Selling and marketing expenses can be expected to decrease

through the year 2002, following completion of the first stage of building its worldwide

distribution network, which commenced in 1999.

The

Market in the year 2000 without any patent

As of 2000, Unitronics' activities in the

market have continuously been promoted. After

successfully raising about EUR 5 Million in January and February 2001 for financing the
penetration to the North American market, Unitronics chose to enhance its market presence

in North America directly and through representatives, rather than acquiring an existing

company. The Company believes that this manner of action will enable substantial cost savings in comparison to the costs expected to be incurred by acquisition of an existing US company, which can be expected to increase in recession periods in the

USA

that could
affect the profitability of the target company.

In June 2001, Unitronics Inc., a

USA

corporation was established as a wholly owned

subsidiary of the Company, whose principal facilities are located near Boston

Massachusetts. The new subsidiary recruits sales representatives – intended to cover

specific territories – and local distributors for various marketing segments, provides

logistical, administrative, technical, sales and customer support and otherwise coordinates

the operations of such sales representatives and distributors in the

USA

. Through Decembe

2001, the Company's products were commercially promoted and sold by a network of sales
representatives and distributors spread over more than half of the states in the

USA

Hidden and deleted

Exhibitions and Tradeshows without any patent in EU IN THE YEAR 2001

In 2001, the Company participated in the following major trade shows: Hanover Fair 2001, in Hanover

Germany

, Interkama 2001, in Düsseldorf

Germany

and ISA 2001 in Huston, Texas. The Company believes its participation in these shows has been instrumental in attracting new distributors and clients. Distributors in Europe and Latin America also presented the Company’s products at several local tradeshows

Status of Automated Vehicle Storage Systems in the U.S.

By Don Monahan

After completion of the first two fully-automated vehicle storage systems in mid-to-late 2002 (in Hoboken, NJ, and Washington, DC), it took another five years before the third system was completed in the U.S. (in New York City’s Chinatown).

Although slow to catch on in the U.S., there has been a recent boom in the construction of these parking facilities. Today, nine systems have been completed or are nearing completion, and six more are under construction.

The early AVSS projects in the U.S. used pallets to carry the vehicles. A recent trend in the industry moves away from palletized systems to non-pallet systems. Managing the storage and delivery of empty pallets is a headache. Also, non-pallet systems are often faster.

A non-pallet system consists of a dolly that slides under the vehicle. The dolly has steel arms that fold out and grasp the tires of the vehicle. The vehicle is lifted an inch or two off the floor and carried out of the entry compartment onto a horizontal shuttle that takes the vehicle over to a lift and up to a storage compartment.

In some systems the horizontal movement and lift mechanisms are provided in a single machine called a stacker crane (see Figure 1). All the machines are controlled by computer with no human intervention.

Where the floor area ratio (FAR) is not a consideration, there also is a trend away from steel storage racks to concrete floors (see Figure 2). The building codes do not adequately address fire protection and firefighter access for these building types, and some steel rack projects are having difficulty getting approved by building officials or fire marshals. The marshals find it easier to approve a concrete system because those systems have better fire resistance than do steel systems.

Where the FAR is a consideration, the open steel storage racks have an advantage in that there are no floors in the storage compartments. The vehicle is supported on a pallet that rests on the steel frame. Therefore, there is no floor area to count against the limit on FAR that is often present in zoning codes. The developer is then able to construct more building area.

The National Fire Protection Association is revising its Publication 88A, Standard for Parking Structures, to include a section devoted entirely to AVSS facilities. It should be available by mid 2010. By that time, 14 or more Automated Vehicle Storage Systems will likely be in use.
