'My name is Janice Myint. As part of the Bristol-Meyers Squibb Year 2000 effort...' Well BMY has found their solution partner later in 1997! John ------ mbs-program.com QUESTION: EMBEDDED COMPUTER SYSTEMS Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is Janice Myint. As part of the Bristol-Meyers Squibb Year 2000 effort, there is a group focusing on P.I.E. (Process Control, Instrumentation and Environmentals). PIE is any machinery or equipment having an electronic component or interface that is used in research, quality operations, manufacturing processes, or facilities operations, including embedded systems. I am part of this group. Solving the Year 2000 problem is especially important for pharmaceutical companies such as ours, particularly in the manufacture of our medicines that a great deal of the public use. And for us, not only are the computers affected, but perhaps more importantly, the embedded systems in our plants and laboratories are affected. At this point in time, I am looking for information and looking to open up lines of communication. I have found a great deal of information for the computer problem, but it has been more difficult to find information for my effort. If there is anyone who can provide information on embedded systems--process control, etc or can point me in the right direction to look, it would be greatly appreciated.
