Dana Corporation Selects I/Gear; Dana Corporation Deploys I/Gear Manufacturing Solution At New Stockton, CA Production Line

LOUISVILLE, Ky.--Aug. 2, 20046, 2004--I/Gear, Inc. today announced that Dana Corporation has deployed I/Gear software at its new production line in Stockton, CA. I/Gear software is used to integrate the manufacturing process and provide real-time intelligence for analysis and reporting purposes. Dana's decision supports I/Gear's approach of developing off-the-shelf integration software tools to enable customer specific solutions. While much of the manufacturing software industry strives to create an elusive one-size-fits-all offering, I/Gear continues the development of building block products that allow customers to maximize their existing control and business application investment, adding connectivity, data transport, and analysis capabilities to produce more realistic and cost effective solutions.

Dana Stockton uses I/Gear DTU to receive customer order information, transport build data to the plant equipment, collect production and downtime data, monitor system faults, initiate alarm and performance messages to employees, and link the production process with inventory control. I/Gear Web Framework presents raw data in a user-friendly visual format via web browser in real-time.

"I/Gear was selected to partner with us on this new project at our Stockton facility based on a rock solid performance history with Dana Corporation." Dave Wells, Sr. Business Analyst Structural Solutions Group, Dana Corporation.

"I/Gear, Inc. is proud to have been selected by Dana Stockton to provide a build-to-broadcast and traceability information system for their new production line. We are excited to extend our success within Dana Corporation to now over twenty facilities. To address the growing customer and regulatory demands on the automotive industry, I/Gear has created a suite of software products that provide a common, reliable platform for integrating technologies and business applications - directly reducing the cost of improving quality and productivity. I/Gear appreciates the opportunity to create value and earn the continued loyalty of such a world class organization as Dana Corporation." Don Korfhage, President I/Gear, Inc.
