POMS Corp. Incorporates Wonderware InTouch into POMS MES

    HERNDON, Va.--(BW HealthWire)--June 24, 1998--

    Industry's leading MES expands capabilities with leading HMI

    POMS Corp. and Wonderware Corp. announced Wednesday the two companies have signed an OEM agreement under which Wonderware InTouch(TM), the industry's leading human machine interface (HMI), will be incorporated into POMS Corp.'s POMS MES(TM), the industry's leading manufacturing execution system (MES).
    POMS Corp. will sell and support InTouch as a new product option for POMS ECi. POMS ECi is POMS Corp.'s standard product module which tightly integrates equipment controls into the POMS MES application. The POMS ECi/Wonderware option will further expand the capabilities of POMS MES by including enhanced process graphics and a broad range of device drivers into an already functionally rich MES application.

Curt Grina, CEO of POMS Corp. stated:

    "Wonderware's market leadership in our key markets is very
    appealing to POMS Corp. We are extremely pleased to be adding
    InTouch's comprehensive functionality to our product offering.
    Customers and prospective customers of both companies can now
    easily implement these two industry-leading products as
    one seamless solution to increase consistency of quality,
    reduce manufacturing costs, and increase customer responsiveness
    through manufacturing agility. No other MES supplier in our
    industry can offer this broad range of functionality combined
    with the domain expertise required to be a successful
    MES solution provider."

Joe Cowan, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Sales of Wonderware Corp. added:

    "We are delighted that POMS Corporation is integrating
    Wonderware's InTouch into POMS MES, the leading MES solution
    in the healthcare products industries. We are confident that both
    Wonderware customers and POMS customers will take advantage of the
    offering because manufacturing companies now have a clear way to
    bring together their plant floor automation and manufacturing
    execution applications into a tightly integrated enterprise-wide
    supply chain execution solution."

    POMS Corp. is committed to providing competitive advantage to manufacturers by delivering proven solutions that optimize the manufacturing execution functions of the supply chain.
