Generic Logic Inc.

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.

Baltic Information Systems, Ltd. www.bis.lt BIS (Baltic Information Systems, Ltd.) is a software company specializing in development of safety and process monitoring systems for Nuclear Power plants. The BIS's new product, BISMARC, is a universal process control and monitoring SCADA system that may be configured to fulfill almost any plant monitoring task. It utilizes client/server architecture with TCP/IP-based communication and multi-level redundancy for high reliability, where the server software performs the PLC data acquisition, data processing and archiving, while the client software is responsible for data visualization and handling user interaction. In a distributed system, each node may serve as a server and client simultaneously. BISMARC is currently available on the Linux platform. The GLG Toolkit is used as the core engine for the graphics subsystem of the client application, the Plant Inspector. HMI drawings created in the GLG Graphics Builder are used as templates which are loaded into the Plant Inspector module at runtime. The Plant Inspector periodically updates trends and control points defined in the drawings with the real-time data values from PLCs. An operator can control plant devices by the means of buttons, toggles, switches, dials and other input objects in the drawings. "We prefer the GLG Toolkit because of its flexible and powerful development environment, cross-platform design, Unicode and True Type font support, concise API, nice graphics and many other features.
