Time means everything in manufacturing, and clocks that are synchronized to display the same, accurate time aren’t just a convenience. They impact your maintenance costs, employee compensation and regulatory compliance.

Senator Scott Newman (R) District 18 visited us this morning for a presentation and tour. Robert Ness and Mark Olsen also joined in the discussion. The visit was offered by the Senator's office through the CMMA (Central Minnesota Manufacturing Association). 

Today I'd like to share one of the great questions we received on our Contact Us form the other day.

The clock experts receive great questions all day, every day from customers.  I've heard these same questions throughout the years, so I'm sharing the problems and solutions today.

School summertime maintenance often includes repairing the clocks. During our first session of Clock School on June 25th, attendees learned the thought process of what I like to call “When to Fix It and When to Nix It.” If you’re trying to keep your existing wired clock system running, we have a few options.

1. Send the clocks in to American Time for repair. Our repair shop will repair, clean and send your clocks back to you in a timely manner. And you have a choice between a clock repair with a mechanical movement (2 year warranty) or an AllSync Plus circuit board movement (3 year warranty).

As adults, we are constantly working on our time management skills. It should be no surprise that children trying to navigate their school schedule is an equally difficult task. It can be a struggle for students to adjust to curriculum changes from quarter to quarter or semester to semester and learn to shift and manage their time wisely

As a market leader in integrated time solutions, we are happy to announce that American Time has launched a complete website makeover at www.american-time.com. The American Time new website features easy-to-use e-commerce options for purchasing clock systems and parts, enhanced search functionality, a cleaner and more intuitive interface, as well as more resources to help visitors determine the best clock, timekeeping system or replacement parts for their needs.

Additional new features include:

• Search products and solutions by industry type for faster results, including education, health care, manufacturing, government and more.
• Responsive design for easier research and browsing, no matter the user’s device.
• A portal for contractors and engineering professionals to find resources for specifying clock system projects, including software/firmware updates and FCC licensing requirements.

We are happy to announce that our Wi-Fi network clocks have been included in Christian School Products (CSP) magazine’s “Top Products” list for 2014! The list gives schools recommendations for the best school products and services released this year.
