- Manufacturing
After being a FORTRAN and Pascal shop, Weirton Steel Corporation of Weirton, W.V., instead uses the Ada programming language in all its software functions for milling ten-ton slabs of hot steel into 1/10" sheets, except for a few minimal FORTRAN functions. Currently, the employee-owned company is moving some applications again, this time to Ada 95 under Windows 95. They hope that their next environment will be Windows NT.
- Furniture Making
In order to relieve its stress in maintaining a multi-language source code, a Malaysian company converted its furniture manufacturing management software to Ada. The software, fMRP, is a fully integrated Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP) for the company, Muar Furniture Industries Sdn Bhd. fMRP consists of many different modules to suit the tasks of the company's different departments, including orders processing and management, resource planning, shop-floor planning, as well as integrating with AutoCAD to manage materials and quantities used for manufacturing processes. The software also integrates with a telemetry system that counts in real-time the input and output of items in production lines.
