Sea-Note - Welcome and thanks for that excellent post with a closer look at the MPCMS(than most of us could ever have) and view backed by your almost three decades of experience in areas towards which EW's products are targeted. I have been a big fan of the EW acquisition by DDI and really think that it'll fuel DDI to the next level based on so many things - existing product suite, adding control/monitoring capabilities to DDI's hydraulic/pneumatic product capabilities and diversification to boot.
I'm assuming each MPCMS is custom designed and manufactured -
wondering if you have any info on what dollar range these could go for. Of course, EW is also capable of building/supplying other systems that feed into the MPCMS (CCTV, BCS, EOT etc). I'm also glad you mentioned the "data gathering" phase many shipyards may be going thru'. This should give people some idea on what to expect and not to get alarmed if they don't see a spurt in EW orders in the upcoming 10-K. The patents that EW has gathered, hold the promise of "exponential growth" per their website. I feel the DDI acquisition of EW came at the right time, as they were making their presence felt in the industries and turning profitable. We'll have to sit back and watch the next stage of growth kick in.
Looking forward to your oil patch products opinion as well. I know you're probably out of your 3 posts for the first day. Hope to hear back soon. Thanks much!
