Good article, John. I thought the following quote was worth copying to the thread for a couple of reasons. Here we see Unilever and Jenkins mentioned in almost the same breath. Of course we know it must have been TPRO which found some of the non-compliant chips. Would not be surprised to hear soon that the pilot project has been expanded to all North American plants. >>At Unilever, which has a major effort underway to solve the problem, the company has already found some PLCs that are noncompliant. One production line, for instance, shut down when the laser-driven printer putting "sell-by" dates on products couldn't handle the 2000 date. Luckily, some manufacturers' Year-2000 efforts already are returning dividends in areas other than the sheer avoidance of pain. "When we're through this whole process," says TAVA's Jenkins, "the monies that will be spent in upgrading factory-automation and process-control systems will produce a large jump in productivity." <<
