    Generic Logic was founded in 1994 to develop and market the GLG Toolkit - a set of editors, libraries, tools and components for creating and deploying dynamic graphical displays to visualize and control real-time processes in variety of industries.

    The GLG Toolkit was developed as part of the consulting activities from 1989 to 1994. It has grown from an in-house consulting tool into a top-of-the-line real-time graphics and data visualization product with various additional packages and deployment options, from the Java version of the Toolkit to the Map Server module with an integrated GIS functionality.

    The flexible component-based architecture of the Toolkit with open data interface allows applications to use it as a add-on graphical interface module, without locking them into a proprietary application framework, which is the case with many other packages. The unique features of the Toolkit, such as constraints, resource or tag-based data access and infinite customization capability, provide application developers with a powerful tool to handle the ever-increasing visualization needs of modern applications.

    Generic Logic is continuing to increase the power and flexibility of its premier product - the GLG Toolkit, dedicating big portion of the company resources to the development of new features and adapting the Toolkit to new markets. The GLG Toolkit family of products supports a wide variety of hardware platforms and software deployment options for Linux/Unix and Windows, including the 100% pure Java version of the Toolkit and the OpenGL rendering support.

    Generic Logic is constantly working on extending its product offerings. The recent GIS Map Server product compliments GLG Toolkit by offering GIS mapping functionality, stand-alone or integrated into the Toolkit. A combination of the GIS mapping functionality with the Toolkit's dynamic capabilities provides new exciting opportunities for developing mission-critical applications.

    Generic Logic is headquartered in Amherst, Massachusetts. Click here for contact information.

    F+P Datensysteme Gmbh
    f+p datensysteme gmbh
    f +p datensysteme delivers solutions for process control systems for the rubber and chemical industry.

    The main part of the control system is a process control iPC, which performs data exchange between PLCs and the supervisory database system. Other parts of the system are workstations for recipe handling, mixer program handling, analysis of the recordings, statistical analysis. f+p delivers ThinClient PCs for process visualisation, operator panels, barcode printing and registration.

    GLG Toolkit is used as the graphics subsystem for displaying graphics, trends, data tables and alarm lists. The ease of integration of the GLG tools combined with the flexibitity of the f+p software bus layout provided maximum benefits for rapid application design.

    "We chose the GLG Toolkit because of the following advantages:
    • Excellent object oriented design and configuration
    • Excellent support from Generic Logic.
    • Good performance even on lower end CPUs
    • Flexible scalabilty and small footprint allows it to run on ThinClient with CompactFlash
    • Cross-platform availability and Web deployment
    • Easy integration with other modules and libraries for a variety of standard languages."
    - Peter Panczyk, f+p datensysteme gmbh

    Controls Products Unlimited
    www.cputil.com

    Control Products Unlimited, Inc. is a software solution integrator specializing in the movement of process information between plant floor, supervisory, and enterprise level systems. It has been a provider of SCADA products and solutions since 1990.

    Control Products' product, CPUtilities, provides a complete software solution for OPC-based Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition , which uses the GLG Toolkit as a graphics subsystem.

    Integrating the GLG Toolkit into Control Products' OPC based offering has introduced features that rival competitive packages in the market place. Training and support time has also been reduced through the implementation of solutions with graphical objects already familiar to plant personnel.

    Global Factory
    Global Factory provides software solutions that simplify the management of distributed manufacturing operations and significantly reduce their complexity and cost. It offers a new breed of enterprise software that is intuitive, easily integrated into existing environments and adaptive to changing requirements.

    The GLG Toolkit underlies the graphic interface and provides the framework for a rich, integrated environment for business process design. Utilizing the Toolkit, Global Factory has developed a Flow Manager, a custom Java Applet that allows for interactive design of business processes. All main graphic components, such as application workspace, toolbars, buttons and shapes, were built completely in the Graphics Builder without any coding. The Toolkit's API provided all the necessary plumbing to bring these objects to life at runtime, and extend these objects via custom code. The result is an intreractive, user-friendly experience.
