Aonix Perc VM Selected for FKI Logistex BOSS Material Handling Control System
Deterministic performance, quality customer support cited as key attributes
Oct 11, 2006 - 12:22 PM
“FKI Logistex chose to write the BOSS HMI in J2SE Java for the language’s safety, security, reusability, and scalability. Our search for a reliable Java virtual machine ended with the selection of PERC Ultra,” said Jason Johnson, Manager of Controls and Software Development at FKI Logistex. “We chose PERC for its deterministic performance, real-time attributes, and excellent customer support.”
“Java is increasingly seen as an ideal approach for meeting the performance and productivity needs of industrial automation applications such as the BOSS HMI,” said Dave Wood, marketing director for Aonix. “The selection of PERC Ultra by FKI Logistex is one of a string of successes proving our leadership in supporting Java developers deeply into vertical embedded market segments traditionally served by less productive C/C++ solutions.”
First introduced nine years ago, PERC Ultra is the most widely used real-time virtual machine available for Java™ developers, with fielded installations in industrial automation, telecommunications, telematics, avionics, deep space exploration, and office automation applications. PERC supports most major real-time operating systems and a variety of target processors including PowerPC, XScale, ARM, and Intel x86 architectures.
PERC is a clean-room virtual machine expressly created for demanding embedded and real-time systems requiring J2SE™ support. PERC delivers the ease and efficiency of Java™ Standard Edition support without sacrificing integrity, performance, or real-time behavior. It offers AOT and JIT compilation, remote debug support, deterministic garbage collection, standard graphics and extended commercial RTOS support.
PERC Ultra is the ideal solution for embedded applications of high complexity, thanks to PERC Ultra’s predictable performance and its extensive support of off-the-shelf J2SE libraries and components. Its sister product, PERC Pico, meets the needs of resource-constrained hard real-time applications, featuring performance and footprint characteristics comparable to C. PERC Pico is smaller and faster than any other real-time virtual machine, yet it preserves key virtues of Java™ such as portability, reliability, and scalability.
