Failures to Communicate

I’ve been trying to get back into HBH Enterprise. Security around the job shop is tighter than ever. I’ve also been researching the connection between traditional g-code intensive CNC and productivity losses experienced by job shops. If shop owners only knew the truth about this, they would seriously question machine tool builders as to why they don’t offer more advanced CNC options. Somehow, the industry has lost track of the fact that machine performance and production capacity are directly related to control performance and capacity.

HBH Cracked the G-code

We need to break this story open. I came to this way of thinking when I read some of RELIC’s marketing faxes. They kept talking about g-code intensive CNC being a good thing. When I heard this, all at once I understood what Dark Cover meant about cracking the g-code. Job shops should be light years ahead of g-code intensive CNC by now. Somehow, HBH is a job shop that has cracked the g-code and RELIC will now do anything to stop the word from getting out.

Marketing Malarkey

Had thought we had our editor’s ok to investigate the HBH job shop. But after we told him our suspicions, he ordered us to hold off: for reasons of objective journalism, the CNC EyeTeam needed to give RELIC a chance to explain their g-code intensive CNC. Only now, after waiting weeks, it has become apparent that RELIC has no explanation. They just keep faxing marketing messages to us saying everything is just fine. "All is well." "Good enough is good enough." "The past is the future." Something's going on here and we need to find out what.
