NHS England estimates that around 250,000 people in the UK have had part or all of a limb removed. Prosthetics have improved significantly in recent decades, yet around a fifth of these amputees refuse to wear them and, of those who do, many are dissatisfied. At least one reason for this dissatisfaction is that prosthetic limbs don’t give the wearer any ‘feedback’ about the things with which they come into contact.

Inefficiency is the enemy of successful quotes. When Temco Precision Machining noticed its quotes consistently came in too high, it looked to FANUC ’s machine monitoring software MT-LINK i for assistance. But the insight it granted proved useful to much more than just quoting. Temco has standardized on FANUC controls. Temco Vice President Maurice Collins theorizes that most people in the industry are familiar with this control style, so training time is minimal.
