Press Release Summary: QC Software Addressed Food Distribution Warehouse Control
Systems in AutomationMedia.com

Press Release Body: Manufacturing journalist, Thomas R. Cutler, profiles the
increasing rigor that Food Automation Operations are facing in the February issue of
AutomationMedia.com. According to Cutler, "New food industry dynamics require that
sustainability must be a priority; in an era of cost-cutting food automation, food
operations professionals, from plant managers to quality managers, must implement
innovative technologies and form alliances with outside experts. One of the central
distinctions of food automation is developing the right mix of innovative niche food
products and line expansions which produce the best bottom line impact."

With the possible exception of pharmaceutical manufacturing, no industry sector is
similarly exposed to the quality manufacturing requirements as the food industry.
Building core competencies, effective tracking and tracing programs are not
optional; regulatory compliance requires it. From raw material control processors to
state-of-the-art software solutions, leading and lean methodologies drive a distinct
competitive advantage for even the smallest food operations.

Jerry List, vice-president of QC Software (www.qcsoftware.com), which provides
warehouse control systems for several sectors including food distribution, suggested
that, "Food automation distribution warehouses are facing increased pressure as
retailers insist on customized orders, including partial pallets.even single unit
food product delivery."

Ultimately automation is the only solution to the growing inability to find and keep
labor in the food processing industry. Labor issues, the increasing need for
traceability, food safety, and competition from low-cost global manufacturing, fuel
the growing trend toward increased automation in the sector. Automation will allow
food manufacturers and distributors to achieve a consistent pattern of positive
growth and return on equity through manufacturing leadership. The entire feature
