Odetics Out in Front: Joel Slutzky, chief executive of Odetics Inc., said last week that his high-tech company is preparing to launch in April an automated tape library, or a robotic machine that can retrieve data storage tapes from a library and quickly feed them to a minicomputer.
William Gibson, an analyst at Cruttenden & Co., an investment banking company in Irvine, said in a research report that Anaheim-based Odetics is well ahead of its competitors and that it could generate as much as $60 million in revenue from the product line by the fiscal year ending March 31, 1995.
