Industry = Software

Press Release Summary = I & R Partners is developing a new, innovative data
collection solution that will radically change the way the manufacturing industry
operates. This comprehensive solution, combined with our industrial data collectors
and strategic alliances with Mitutoyo and MicroRidge, will continue to keep I & R
Partners ahead of the industry. We are now able to provide everything you need in
order to keep your company lean, because lean always starts at the waste.

Press Release Body = I & R Partners\' new web-based method of data collection is
unique because it does not need to be installed. It helps eliminate common problems
such as: strict system requirements, restrictions based upon user privileges, and
complicated questions encountered during installation. As a result of being
web-based, our software is always up to date; the user never has to check for or
install any updates. The greatest benefit, however, of using our online program is
that it can be accessed from anywhere.

All of the data collected by I & R Partners\' web-based application is stored
remotely and securely in one location. By centralizing your data, the time it takes
for different departments to access information is notably decreased. All data
stored on our servers is automatically archived at regular intervals to help
decrease the chance of loss and corruption. Using state-of-the-art methods, all
information is encrypted and stored securely. With our system, your company will
never have to worry about their data again.

I & R Partners\' data collectors are not only portable, they also fit in the palm of
your hand. Weighing a mere 19.3 ounces (547 grams), the days of lugging laptops or
other so-called portable data collectors across the shopfloor are over. Our units
are IP54DW and IEC529 rated and can withstand extreme exposure to water, dust,
shock, humidity, and temperature. Our handheld data collectors also contain special
features such as an integrated barcode scanner and wireless networking capabilities.

Using a web browser, I & R Partners\' data collection application can be used by our
handheld units. This enables them to collect and analyze data while wirelessly
connected to the internet. Because our data is collected in an online environment,
shopfloor managers and supervisors can view real-time charts and processes from
their cellphones. Our data collectors can also interface with digital, serial, and
analog gages, providing you with a complete and flexible solution.

Recently, I & R Partners has formed a strategic alliance with Mitutoyo. As a result,
a second new product has been released that consists of their data collection
software, Pocket ML, installed on our handheld units. Now, you can utilize the best
that Mitutoyo has to offer on an industrial data collector. We have also created
built-in data export routines that allow the data you collect with our software to
be exported to MeasurLink for analysis. This alliance enables you to satisfy all of
your quality control needs by making I & R Partners your all-in-one solution.
I & R Partners has also formed a strategic alliance with MicroRidge, a supplier of a
variety of gages and gage interfaces. They specialize in the manufacturing of
wireless and multi-gaging devices, as well as keyboard wedges. These products are
now available to you through us and our extensive distributor network. This alliance
gives you one more reason why you should use I & R Partners as your one-stop shop.
From industrial data collectors, to analysis software, to wireless gaging, we are
more than able to meet your quality needs from end to end.
