LabSoft LIMS NR tool manages noncompliance records and provides a method to focus on the root cause of an NR and determine the reasons, circumstances and responsible parties.

Enhancements in Lattix LDM 3.0 include its Dependency Model approach, which extends DSM with architecture rules, to enable a new way to visualize and manage the architecture of database systems. LDM enables managers, architects and developers to visualize, specify and maintain the architecture of a complex enterprise software system.

ORBexpress RT now supports LynxOS-SE real-time operating system (RTOS). Developers can use both to build safe and secure military and aerospace systems. ORBexpress is based on the Real-time Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) standard that enables real-time and embedded devices in heterogeneous environments to communicate seamlessly. LynxOS-SE is POSIX and ARINC 653-1 compliant, highly desired in military and avionics applications.

The mini-IPm PLUS has Ethernet, up to 4 serial ports and a built-in mix of 26 discrete and analog I/O. It is pre-loaded with open-source Linux and the IPm firmware which offers automation, control and data acquisition capabilities. For utility applications, IPm+ also includes pre-loaded software for AGA gas flow calculations and DNP-3 time stamped communications.

The xCoupler module snaps into a ControlLogix PAC (programmable automation controller) from Rockwell Automation and provides bi-directional data translation between plant floor devices and SQL Server 2005 databases connected to the module via Ethernet. The module can be set up to configure specific plant floor devices, such as robots, sensors, bar code scanners and controls, with a database to develop commands, reports, alerts and other instructions.

UEI added complete QNX Real Time Operating System (RTOS) support for its PowerDNA series of data acquisition and control cubes. With the new PowerDNA QNX library, QNX developers can take advantage of the deterministic timing afforded by QNX. The Library may be deployed on any host computer running the QNX RTOS and connected to the PowerDNA cube over the Ethernet (10/100baseT).

UniSort MXT software has algorithms that optimize merging, induction and sortation, enabling rates well in excess of 300 cartons per minute on sliding shoe sorters. The module is designed for optimal performance in systems using servo-based induction and high-speed merging, although it also works with fixed-speed induction systems and other configurations.

the Unit Response Optimizer is available as an embedded advanced control application in the Ovation expert control system. The model-based control solution uses advanced unit analysis and modeling techniques to provide optimal load trajectory and control for improved ramping, startup, unit turndown and overall performance, as well as reduce equipment wear/tear.
