Cable Fabrication
How many times has a defective cable shut your line or machine down? Has your cable been run over by a forklift or cut in some other way? Did you know that REA Technologies has the capability and the expertise to fabricate you a replacement at a fraction of the OEM cost and often a lot quicker? We can fabricate drive programming cables for most any drive, plc cables, encoder cables, motor cables, power cables, just about any cable you might need. The biggest hinderance that may arise would be if there is a conversion taking place in the cable. This can be tricky and you may even be forced to go back to the OEM. We make various cables for such manufacturers as Fanuc, Yaskawa, Siemens, Baldor, Allen Bradley, Rosso knitting machines, and many others. REA serves all industries from knitting machines, metal working, food processing, wood working, fiber optics, anything that is automated. We are very competitive on pricing often beating the OEM by hundreds of dollars. And the best part is that you don't have to wait for your cable to be made in Japan and put on a slow ship to the states. When we make a cable all of the info is documented in a file and kept here for your future needs. Should you have a cable requirement please contact me and let's talk about it. You will be pleased, guaranteed.
Hard Times
It is becoming harder each day for a small company to collect on their AR. I hear on a daily basis that customers can not pay this week because their customers have not paid them. It is a trickle down effect. Everyone is cutting back in one form or another. Several businesses are only working a 4 day week. Others are staggering their employees to only work 4 days. Even others are taking full weeks off the save. All of these has an effect on the individual worker who then has the same problem in paying their own bills at home. So the cycle can start all over again. I hope that there is an end in sight.

Justice is Served
How much did election year politics play into the Alaskian Sen. Ted Stevens case? With the goal of the Democratic party to have total control over the Federal Government, they needed the longest serving Republican in the Senate to loose his seat. How else to accomplish that but to find a "big" way to sway the voters against the one they have elected for decades. It really makes you wonder just what occured now that the judge over the case has ordered an investigation against the prosecutors involved. Is justice really being served?
GM Bankruptcy
Well it looks like GM is going to go Chapter 11 bankruptcy. What is that going to do to the $13.4 billion that the government has given them? And are they still going to receive the 16.6 billion additional dollars they have asked for? They owe almost half of their debt to the union for their health benefit fund for retirees. So I guess some of our money went there. I am sure the Democratic controlled government will not complain about that. Given they received the biggest share of the unions vote. Is the government going to help pay for the small business employees health benefit package? Are they going to help the small business' pay off their debt? As a group, small business' is just as important in the overall picture as GM.

High Unemployment rate
The unemployment rate for our area in North Carolina has reached 14%. That would include textile, fiber optic cable and the woodworking industry, amoung others. We also have some large producers of automotive parts. How is the new economic stymulas package going to address the needs of these industries? Most of the jobs for this group is being relocated overseas. What about all of the industries that service those. All of the small "mon and pop" operations that exist. What are we all suppose to do? I don't see where the government is trying to help us. We are not the banking, GM or Chrysler that is talked about in the news on a hourly basis, but we are very important to the economy of the United States. When is someone going to stand up for us?
