San Anselmo, California, January 20, 2012
Soft-I/O, the innovative input/output system manufactured by Xio, Inc. has been approved by a major diversified manufacturing company for use in its nuclear reactor services business.
"Our customer has completed a massive 21-day test with flying colors," reports Mario Lento, Director of Business Development for Xio. "The test plan alone was 70 pages!" Lento continued. "Each system has six Soft-I/O modules performing a number of input/output tasks from simple pushbuttons and lights to some high-tech strain gauges that need to be demodulated over long cables."
"We are heartened by this major customer approval," said Chairman Paul Sagues. "It's one thing to offer innovative I/O technology and an entirely different thing to be approved for use by one of the world's largest companies in a very challenging application. This is the coveted 'pedigree' that separates a board-based offering from a true factory automation component. The heritage of Xio is industrial automation, and this is a major gold star approval."
"We are excited going into 2012 because we are readying one of the most significant offerings in the automation business," concluded Lento. "Wrapping up this major approval paves the way for our newest offerings."
