1. Augmented Reality and the Future of Electronics Technology

   August 20, 2013 11:45 am Leave a Comment

   As we’ve mentioned in previous blogs, our industry is one that is constantly being inundated with new and exciting technologies, all of which are of interest to electronics manufacturers as interesting combinations of developments that seek to improve our lives.  One exciting new technology we’re interested in here at MPS is the field of augmented reality.

   The concept isn’t that new, but the recent development of Google Glass has thrown the subject into the public eye again.  In our age of ever increasing and exhaustive information, augmented reality seeks to tap into that wealth of knowledge in real time to give us instantaneous and personalized access to deeper levels of information based on our surroundings or inquiries.  Smartphones have already made huge strides in this pursuit, but the innovation of Google Glass is the visual and vocal access to that information.  Now, rather than pulling out a smartphone, you can give a voice command, and read the results projected in your field of vision from a tiny projector, visible only to you.

   The implications of this are astounding for medicine, the military, the consumer, travel, education, industry – the list goes on.  Even though the technology is in an early stage, as it improves, and we approach universal and access to wireless internet at high speeds, this type of technology is a bit step toward universal connectivity, a still astonishing and ambitious goal.  It also of high interest to custom electronics manufacturers like MPS, as we’re seeing the elements of our business combined in ways that improve lives and make information management more efficient.  These are the moments and times when we’re proud and excited for what the future of the electronics industry holds.  Tweet @MPSIndustries to get in touch, or visit our website to find out how MPS can help make your latest technology a reality – we’d love to hear from you.

2. Customer Satisfaction Case Study

   Here at MPS, we believe in our capability to design and manufacture great products.  We also believe that making the best products we can for a wide range of applications and industries, designing custom solutions to the exact specs our customers need, and using flexible shipping and sourcing options to provide great turn-around times, are great ways to ensure our customer’s satisfaction.  We know that keeping our customers happy is one of the key ways to keeping our customers – so every year, we conduct a survey to measure the level of satisfaction we were providing and find areas where we can improve.

   We asked about our shipping time frame, product satisfaction, customer service evaluation, comparisons to competition, and whether our customers would recommend us, and the results were overwhelmingly positive: nearly 70% of customers who responded to the survey said they were “extremely likely” to recommend MPS to others; nearly %90 said they were “very satisfied” with our services.  Not one respondent said that they had found a competitor with better products.  These kinds of responses are wonderful for MPS to receive, because they reflect the kind of business that we are continually striving to be.

   We do these surveys because we are committed to providing a caliber of service that is equal to the caliber of our products.  We want your feedback because we want to provide the kinds of service that will make you delighted to tell us and others about it, and are on an ever-expanding quest to see that we make that happen.  Head over to our web or social sites to get in touch with us, and make your voice part of our process of improvement here at MPS.
