Conventionally
there are two routes to automation:
- A
high tech approach which adds levels of
technology to give a sophisticated flexible
system, but which often has reliability and
maintenance issues and high initial costs.
- A
low tech approach tends to be reliable,
robust and cheap, but often lacks flexibility.
We believe that there is a middle
way, a simple, often elegant solution which can give high
tech performance with the low tech cost and reliability.
We call this Crafty
tech; the application of some cunning device or
principle to greatly simplify the complexity of the
solution required.
