Digging the car out of the sand
As the Product Manager for Marking, Tools and Mounting Material for Phoenix Contact, I have quite an exciting product range. With that being said, 2018 has still held many new experiences. It all began when January saw an impromptu start for my 10 year old son and myself as we decided to take an alternative 2300km tour of the Northern Cape. Driving from Johannesburg to Cape town, in my VW Passat! The rules were simple. If we see a strange dusty road – we take it. 2 popped tyres, a couple of “stuck in the sand situations”, 4 days and 2300km later – (700Km untarred) we found ourselves in Cape Town. The added thrill was NO CELL SIGNAL due to the Square Kilometer Array restrictions in the central Cape. We had the time of our lives, and now to top it all off, i’m officially a blogger. I wonder what 2019 has in store for me?
Welcome all to my – Kevin Mann’s, first blog!
Introducing the best Industrial Marking system in the world.
It is my privilege to announce the winner of the most reliable, user friendly and economical industrial labeling machine around. The Phoenix Contact Thermomark Card Printer – 5146464. End users love it for its ease of use. Distributors will promote this unit over and over again without hesitation. Engineers admire it for its running and (negligible) maintenance costs and Financial managers seldom see a red flag regarding capital outlay.
THERMOMARK Card
The Pro’s and Con’s.
Cons:
ummmm, I simply can’t think of any!
Pros:
- The software just works.
- Easy copy and paste functionality from spread sheets like Excel and Open Office makes the free on site training a pleasure and most of the time this is not even required.
- It’s just so simply easy from our Clip Project and soon to be released Project Complete Software. This software is designed to be used on the complete range of Phoenix Contact Printers, from the Top Mark Laser right down to our very popular Thermofox handheld unit.
- With over 1200 types of material available the opportunities are only limited by your imagination.
- Unlike any liquid ink printer, the dry ink delivery system of the Thermomark does not have an expiration date. So your ink will never expire before your stock of material.
- Backup and support is only a “human to human” phone call away.
- Running costs work out to less than ZAR 0.01 per terminal marker and a roll of dry ink will cover over 100 000 terminal markers.
It is seldom that you find a product with all three of the key marketing success factors: Service, Quality and Price. Should you want more information or a demo on any of our printers, please feel free to contact me on kevinm@phoenixcontact.co.za.
