Both were former employees of another local startup located in Irvine, California. Morin's founding vision was a Windows-based Human Machine Interface (HMI) that was inspired by an early 1980s video game that allowed players to digitally construct a pinball game. His idea was that operators monitoring factory operations would be more productive if they used a machine that was fun and easy to use. He was terminated from in February, 1986.
In one of the great rags-to-riches entrepreneurial stories of the 1980s, Morin was 40 years old when he left Triconex. Up until then, the college dropout had either been fired or never been promoted from every job he managed to find. He drove a Taxi in Boston before coming to California, hitching a ride with some friends in the 1970s.
Kadhal desam tamil movie hq mp3 songs free download. He told his idea to a young technology wizard, Phil Huber, who was still employed by Triconex. Huber was a Penn State graduate who once worked at the legendary Bell labs before coming to California.
Huber agreed to help his friend develop the HMI product that would be called InTouch and the new company Wonderware. Other friends of Morin's at Triconex agreed to help on the project.
On April 1, 1987, Dennis Morin, Phil Huber, Cole Chevalier, Jerry Cuckler and Bill Urone signed an agreement to start Wonderware. Morin set about raising money for the venture. A friend, Linda Ellison introduced him to her father who was a local Orange County, California investor. Jerry Spellman was a no-nonsense former World War ll veteran who listened to Morin's pitch over dinner, and agreed to invest $100,000 to start Wonderware. Other investors, however, insisted that Morin was not ready to lead the company, so industry veteran Peter Pitsker was appointed the first CEO of Wonderware which began operations in 1989. Another longtime friend of Morin's, Chet Tomsick was pivotal in implementing the first installation and became a key advisor.
Morin became CEO within two years. Wonderware employed an outrageous marketing blitz in the conservative industry for factory operations. Their print ads featured lingerie, they rented out cruise ships and hired bands such as the Dixie Chicks and speakers like astronaut Alan Shepard to appear at company events. They soon became the industry leader in a market they largely created, leaving much bigger rivals behind.
Morin left the company towards the end of 1995. He went to professional cooking school, sailed, and traveled widely, most frequently in the company of beautiful women. He built the well-known 'Rock House' in Laguna Beach, a house featured prominently in magazines and TV and became a tourist landmark. Wonderware was sold to British-based SIEBE in 1998 for nearly 400 million dollars.
By that time, all the founding members had left the company. Co-Founder Phil Huber remains active in startups. Morin died on the last day of 2012. Wonderware became part of Paris-based Schneider-Electric in 2014.
