The company I work for, Fisher & Paykel, has chosen to phase down its Programmable Controller (PLC) business to a support service only for
existing customers, and subsequent to this is selling the intellectual property from this business.
The Fisher & Paykel controller is state based (PSC = Programmable State Controller) and the latest product "GRASP" integrates state based
programming with IEC-61131-3 languages. The intellectual property includes substantial software developments and patented inventions.
Fisher & Paykel has for the past 7 years marketed the PSC technology in the Australasian region resulting in a strong adoption of state based control within a large number of different manufacturing sectors, but has now chosen to concentrate on core activities (appliance manufacture and healthcare).
Many of the subscribers to this forum are well versed with control technologies and as such may see an opportunity for their business to pick
up the technology we have developed, especially from a software point of view but possibly also from a hardware perspective.
If there is any interest I suggest you take a look at our website at www.psc.fp.co.nz to gain a more detailed perspective of PSC and GRASP. We
would welcome enquiries and look forward to discussing any opportunities that PSC may present.
