THE RAVE DIFFERENCE Reduction in cost with a premium solution: The Challenge: A local Engineering company requested quote on Dell system with upgraded graphics card ($800 per system increase). Solution: Rave technology consultants configured a system based on client application and determined the software was processor intensive. Rave kept the original graphics card, upgraded to a faster processor and switched to SSD’s for faster boot ups. Result: Improved system cost was $300 each. Rendering times were reduced on some images from 2 hours to 20 minutes. Our customer was very pleased with the Rave Solution which not only saved them money but also gave them a competitive edge. THE RAVE DIFFERENCE Application specific hardware solutions: The Challenge: Robotics company had a customer requiring cycle times cut from 13 seconds down to one. This would require hundreds of hours of programing and drive down profit margins. Solution: Rave looked at their specific vision robotics application, performed some benchmark testing and provided an optimal solution. Result: System provided cut the cycle times down to a fraction-of-a-second. The only time involvement from the customer was testing, which was done in a few hours. THE RAVE DIFFERENCE System customization – service and support: The Challenge: Customer requested a system with “the cheapest graphics card because we’re going to take it out anyway and replace with one we have in stock.” Solution: Rave did not require them to purchase a graphics card for the system. Result: Rave not only sold them a system without a graphics card, we had them send us the graphics card they wanted to use and we installed it (no charge) during production.
