WR, Many thanx for your excellent finds. Translation of cimtech.com.mx courtesy of Altavista: Translations: (Not perfect.) From: babelfish.altavista.digital.com Can translate selected plain text or entire web pages. <<< For mayores information y2k@cimtech.com.mx Know the only herramieta focused solutions Y2K the manufacture area It is its plant prepared for year 2000? To what it must the problem of year 2000? Much software and hardware are in risk of failing when we arrive at 1 from January of the 2000, since they are not designed to handle the dates for the next millenium. The threat exists since most of these systems they were designed with two digits to handle the date instead of four: year 1999 is processed like 99. When the systems arrive at the year of 2000 was interpreted like 00, reason why they will interpret in incorrect form the year as if outside 1900, this even brings like consequence erroneous data... or that the systems let work. The systems use the dates in many important tasks: planning of the production, inventories, deliveries. The problem is complicated by the fact that the systems are complex combinations of hardware, and software, of a great variety of marks and models, many of which did not work in with year 2000. But beyond a problem of fulfillment of components, one is due to consider the impact of complete systems and its respective solutions. To what type of systems and equipment this oriented metodologia and tools TAVA/CIMTECH? <Picture> Our methodology, technical software tools and services are oriented to help the manufacture companies to face and to solve the problem caused by year 2000 in their systems of manufacture and process control. This methodology NOT this oriented to the administrative systems of calculation. Of which the problem of year 2000 in Manufacture consists? Unlike which superficially it could be considered like a problem that would affect only systems of I compute traditional (PC's and mayores), in the systems of manufacture and process control, " bug of the millenium " can hit in practically any electronic system, including between many others: PC's, PC's industrial, PLC's, instruments, controls, drives, absorbed transmitters, equipment, propietary computers and in general any electronics and any device that some type of program in its interior has. For that reason it is considered to the manufacture systems as the " hidden part of iceberg " of year 2000, that is to say, what 80% of the problem can cause us. <Picture> Since the manufacture systems are those that generate the income of the company, its correct operation through year 2000 is critical. Porqué is particularly severe in the manufacture systems? By the great amount of propietary electronic equipment, contracted systems and code of programs developed in languages and propietary systems of the equipment manufacturers, all this long ago more difficult and complex the control of fulfillment and the correction of the problem in systems of manufacture and process control. What problems can cause year 2000 in the manufacture systems? In general we could classify the impact of the problems of year 2000 in the systems of manufacture in three types: 1) Those that caused erratic operation of the processes; 2) Those that they caused that the processes stop or let operate the equipment; 3) Those that can cause severe risks to the personnel or to the machinery, as well as to cause to the taking of erroneous decisions of the equipment or the personnel. Porqué is necessary to take actions with respect to this problem? •By its east nature problem cannot be postponed, the risks that it causes nonsingle to maintain the production levels, but for the security they are even critical. •It is not possible to assure that a company this free one the problem without before to have implemented and to have documented organizadamente a control of all the systems. •Since a single device can be able to cause a problem, the control must make sure to cover the equipment totally, and to even verify the external dependency of systems and provisions to the plant. •The availability of the equipment that outside necessary to replace, as well as the manual labor necessary to implement changes doubtlessly would be scarce as approaches year 2000. In what TAVA and CimTech in the problem of year 2000 can help him? TAVA Technologies has developed to a methodology and oriented software tools to the handling of the problem of year 2000 in the manufacture systems.
