ABB Flexible Automation, BrainTech's machine vision technology is building credibility
within the manufacturing industry. ABB has emphasized that our machine vision
systems must be of high quality and we must provide exceptional technical
service and support. To date, we have successfully integrated several of our
application specific machine vision systems with ABB robots for automotive
industry suppliers. Keeping in mind ABB's emphasis on service and support, we
are expanding our solution to include Internet based service and support for
industrial manufacturing systems. The principal components of the system
include; Sideware's e-CRM suite and ‘Bluetooth' wireless devices.”

with a great appreciation for the power and potential of Sideware's e-CRM
product. Initially, we'll use it to help establish BrainTech's good name when
it comes to service. Further out, I see the Manufacturing Industry adopting
Internet based support as a standard and that will be fantastic for Sideware.”
