The first data-collection and charting software from Process Control Corp. in Atlanta Atlanta (ətlăn`tə, ăt–), city (1990 pop. 394,017), state capital and seat of Fulton co., NW Ga., on the Chattahoochee R. and Peachtree Creek, near the Appalachian foothills; inc. 1847.  is designed to analyze and improve feeder feeder

 performance. Trend Manager comes with pre-programmed "tags" to collect data from Process Controls' own resin resin, any of a class of amorphous solids or semisolids. Resins are found in nature and are chiefly of vegetable origin. They are typically light yellow to dark brown in color; tasteless; odorless or faintly aromatic; translucent or transparent; brittle, fracturing  feeders. The Windows PC-based software automatically finds the data points it needs to create trend lines, for example, of hopper A tray, or chute, that accepts input to a mechanical device, such as a disk duplicator or printer. In the days of punch cards, millions of cards were numerically or alphabetically organized by placing them into the hopper of a card sorter, taking them out of all the stackers and putting  weight. The system is easily reprogrammed to collect comparable data from other brands of feeders, the company says. Trend Manager was launched in October and has around 10 installations at customers who use the data primarily to track feeder history and improve feeding consistency Tel: (770) 449-8810, www.processcontrol.com
