SEQUENCIA & TAVA Case Study of Sequencia customer: Chromalloy ======================================================== Chromalloy is a division of Chromalloy Gas Turbine Corporation, and is based in Phoenix, Arizona. Founded in 1986, Chromalloy Arizona is an authorized FAA repair station. Its customers include major airlines along with original engine manufacturers. The company has been using Sequencia's OpenBatch™ software for the last year and a half to control coating as well as fluoride ion cleaning operations for turbine engine components. Prior to the installation of the current control system, Chromalloy was only able to fluoride ion clean. "The original control system had never been fully operational," explained Rick Alexander, metallurgical engineer overseeing CVD (chemical vapor deposition) operations. The original system did not have the capability to run coating recipes. Troubleshooting was a complete nightmare and there was no recipe system. In early 1996, the company sought a fully integrated batch control system that would allow them to better control the process with improved safety and flexibility. They chose systems integrator Topro (now Tava Technology) to perform the integration.

Since my recent move, I don't have much time to spend on the net. Am spending much of my time getting settled (am still surrounded by un-opened boxes), working with contractors and getting involved with community. Good luck to all, Cheryl
