Most of them use Siemens PLC. We use Ada in that field. Much of our business is to replace SPS (not only from Siemens) or to integrate SPS feeding it with data from alternative sources or taking data from SPS. Usually it is higher end custom solutions where SPS and the peripheral it supports do not scale up to the performance requirements, data flow, the IT infrastructure. When the vendor lock hits back, the customer forgets its timeless love to SPS and get ready to consider something better... > It is really sad that there are not more Ada presence in this world I agree. -- Regards, Dmitry A.
