"This migration to the Microsoft Windows 2000 platform is a continuation of our long standing strategy of reducing overall automation costs by implementing open systems," said Rick Brookshire, Senior Manager of Product Development & Engineering for Epson's Robot Division. "In 1994 when we released our first Microsoft Windows based programming software, DARLsp for Windows, customers told us they really liked programming in an environment that they were already familiar with, i.e. Microsoft Windows. From our perspective, using an industry standard operating system made it easier and faster for us to find and integrate other best in class, third party automation devices into our programming environment. The 'plug and play' attributes of Windows 2000 accelerate this process for us and also make it easier for customers to integrate their own third party devices." 

With more than 17,000 installed units worldwide and offices in Asia, Europe and North America, Epson Factory Automation Robotics is a leading supplier of robots, controllers and vision guidance products. This equipment is used in the manufacturing of appliance, automotive, biotechnology, consumer, electronics, medical, pharmaceutical, photonics, semiconductor and telecommunication products.
