Frequently Asked Questions

Is Windows CE a good choice for an embedded operating system? Print
Embedded Software Solutions
Windows is becoming more popular today than in the past. The most recent version of the CE operating system includes security mechanisms that limit access to program and memory space, which can overcomplicate the ability to integrate certain types of peripherals and other I/O devices. In those cases, if a board support package (BSP) is not already available to work with the hardware, there may be other choices, like Linux, that would be more appropriate.
 
What types of SCADA systems have you worked with? Print
Controls & SCADA
Our most common SCADA platforms are from GE (Proficy, formerly Intellution), Rockwell (Bizware) and Invensys (Wonderware). There are several less-common and legacy SCADA platforms for which ASG has developed applications.
 
What operating systems does Applied Science Group have experience with? Print
Embedded Software Solutions

In the embedded industry ASG's engineers have worked with Windows CE, Linux, AMX, Dynamic C, RTOS, Windriver, VXworks, pSOS and QNX operating systems.

More than half of the embedded application clients do not use a commercial operating system.  In those cases we have written "executive" kernels to control peripheral devices, timed events and other low-level tasks.

Who would a typical Timber customer be? Print
Energy Management
The typical customer has a wide variety of energy control systems, and the need or desire to bring them under a single control umbrella. Our past customers include department stores, hospitals, manufacturing facilities, and warehousing facilities.
 
What is Applied Sciences Group's Energy Management solution? Print
Energy Management
Timber is a tool to manage and display information about building resources, not necessarily just energy-related. It operates with an open protocol framework. It provides centralized overview control, but interacts with distributed controls as necessary.
 
What processors does ASG have experience with? Print
Embedded Software Solutions

Below are just a sampling of the processors, ASG has experience with:

ARM, RISC Processors, .86 Embedded PC, Motorola 68xxx, TMS 32xxx DSPs, Freescale Coldfire, Rabbit (Z180), Microchip PIC, Intel 8051 and Intel PC processors, TI DSP (digital signalling) andTI MSP (mixed signalling).

 
 
Who supplies MES software? Print
MES
There are dozens of MES software development companies; many (like SAP) regard MES as an adjunct to their larger Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. The MESA International website is a good place to start when looking for MES vendors.
