Small example of Factory Floor / MIS integration the MSFT/WNDR way FURTHER WONDERWARE UPGRADES FOR PG BISON Pietermaritzburg based board manufacturer, PG Bison, has expanded its industrial automation implementation as part of the on-going Capacity Development Programme by upgrading its Wonderware InTouch workstations to Windows NT platforms and by acquiring Wonderware Industrial SQL Server, the real-time relational database for plant and business information management. Industrial SQL Server, which incorporates Microsoft SQL Server, will be used for historical logging of all plant events, trending and fault reporting. The objective to obtain uniformity between shifts will be achieved by using sophisticated reporting tools to balance out process inequalities and manual errors. PG Bison will implement the upgrades in house, which includes a major re-vamp to of the existing control room. USE MICROSOFT WORD FOR MIS REPORTING You won't believe how easy it is to use Microsoft Word for Management Information Systems reporting. You define a report using MS Query and any SQL database (including InDustrial SQL Server) and then save it as a template (*.dot file). When you create a new document using the template, it simply runs the report. Click here to see how it works. futuristix.co.za

John ____________________ COMMENTARY: JAVA CAN BE A CONTENDER--IF SUN LETS IT Ever since Sun Microsystems Inc. invented Java, a computer language for creating programs that run on computer networks, Chief Executive Scott G. McNealy has boasted that it would roast Microsoft Corp. Now, it's Java that's getting roasted--and not just by the software giant. On Mar. 20, Java partner Hewlett-Packard Co. broke ranks. Accusing Sun of keeping too tight a rein on developing new versions of Java, HP has created its own Java variant for noncomputer devices such as printers. businessweek.com
