“MODCOMP Inc… announced the award of a contract with UCAR
International to upgrade their industrial process control computer
system at their graphite specialties manufacturing plant in
Clarksburg, West Virginia. The new process control system will be
used to simultaneously monitor and control temperature and pressure
of gas fired baking furnaces used in the manufacturing process.
“… the new UCAR process control application will be built
with MODCOMP’s new Linux version of ScadaBase(TM), a graphically
enhanced, menu-driven, user- configurable Supervisory Control and
Data Acquisition (SCADA) application software package suited
for real-time process control, factory automation, and utility
applications…”
“”The high performance and robustness of Linux makes it a
natural fit for open systems hardware and software architectures,”
stated Ron Cook, Vice President of Technology Operations for
MODCOMP, Inc. “The modular software architecture of ScadaBase,
coupled with commercially available hardware running Linux,
provides an unparalleled platform for system expansion,
scalability, and interoperability with enterprise business
systems”, Cook added.”
