March 17, 2008 - Orion, MI: Applied Manufacturing Technologies Inc (AMT) announced it will provide contracted implementation support for Shafi Inc’s Reliabot 2D and 3D vision guided robotics software. These services will include feasibility demonstrations, build support for systems integrators, and acceptance support at end user sites.
