### Learn from Rutherford & Titan's experience of going from strictly selling to completely building their own liquid nitrogen systems.

As a distributor, you can choose what you sell, but you don’t control how it’s built, how consistent it is, or how it behaves when something goes wrong. You’re tied to other people’s factories, schedules, and quality standards. 

Sound familiar? As a cryogenic equipment distributor, Rutherford & Titan experienced all these limits firsthand.

When their customers were calling on them for support even after product installations, they knew they had to take their operations to the next level and have more control of the whole process.

Read the new case study that explains how and why they went from reseller to manufacturer.

### Updated interactive website demo provides guidance for choosing sinking or sourcing modules for both *groov* and SNAP PAC systems.

Confusion around sinking and sourcing wiring is one of the most common causes of field issues in DC control systems. Get it wrong, and devices won’t turn on—or worse, you end up rewiring a panel that should have worked the first time.

But manufacturers label their DC outputs in different ways. We updated our interactive demo to make the concepts simple. It shows exactly how sinking and sourcing circuits work and helps you select the correct I/O modules for both your *groov* and SNAP PAC systems. Try it now!

### The *Who's groovin'* video series continues with a look at how to create data visualization from isolated plant operations across thousands of miles.

How do you manage dozens of solar plants built by different teams, spread across thousands of miles, and still keep power flowing every day?

For CVE Chile, that was the challenge. Each site ran its own controls with no shared way to track performance or to identify problems.

In episode 5 of the *Who's groovin* video series, we'll show you how CVE found a way to bring visibility and reliability to solar power plants across the vast terrain in Chile.
