This is a good piece of equipment, just didn't have the rate needed to keep up with production line

PLC work was done in Dec 2020. Once that was operational, all other work completed during Q1 2021

Machine ran in the facility until approximately Dec 2021. It's been idle roughly a year. Since then it has been stored indoors, covered, in a warehouse that is part of the manufacturing facility.
