 | Willowbrook, Illinois - November 2, 1999: Midtronics, Inc. announced that its partnership with Ford Motor Company has been extended to include all of Ford’s Australian and Mexican dealerships. In September, Midtronics shipped the custom Micro490™ battery tester unit that Midtronics deployed as an essential tool for all North American Ford dealerships last June.
Stephen J. McShane, Midtronics President and CEO stated, "I am extremely pleased that Midtronics’ relationship with Ford Motor Company continues to expand and grow globally. With the use of the Micro490, I believe Ford will improve their warranty management process, enhance customer service, as well as expand dealer battery sales."
Midtronics’ relationship with Ford dates back to 1993 with the creation of the first generation analog battery tester, the Rotunda PowerSensor PLUS as an essential tool for North America. Subsequent to the success of the Rotunda PowerSensor PLUS in North America, Midtronics developed the second-generation digital Micro390ä battery tester as an essential tool for Ford Europe. The new Micro490 battery tester improves upon the Micro390 by automating various processes. In addition, the new tester provides a unique encrypted warranty approval code that interfaces with Ford’s ACES (Automated Claims Entry System) warranty system. The Micro490 also provides an indication of the SAE Cold Cranking Amps of the battery and a live alternator voltage to check the integrity of the charging system. |
