We have been writing Windows (and DOS) based programmes for industrial and retail applications for over 15 years. Tools used include Delphi, C++ Builder, Turbo Pascal etc.
Some projects are shown below:
HZDBase: Gas Alarm Base Station Software for BOC Gas:
This programme is the base station for receiving and processing alarms from
remote gas alarm panels. All events are logged to disk and must be acknowledged
by an operator. Logged events can be viewed for any date range, time range
etc.

Call Logger:
This programme monitors data from a local telephone exchange. Call Logger
displays and logs all call events to disk allowing them to be redisplayed
by date, time and call type.
Multilog:
This is a general purpose multi port serial data logging programme and is
used to replace event printers for several Yokogawa clients and other sites.
Received data is cleaned of special unwanted printer code. Then each event
is classified, displayed and logged. Events can be retrieved by date, time
and event type. User defined tables define how messages are cleaned, classified
and displayed. See Multilog for
screen shots.7
HZD4045:
This is a configuration for All Systems' HZD4045 gas alarm panel. All settings
can be read from and written to a HZD4045 panel through a COM port.

Signalex:
This is a configuration for All Systems' Signalex display controller. All
settings can be read from and written to the controller through a COM port.
Line Analyser:
Line Analyse is an intuitive multi-port RS232 data capture, analysis &
simulation utility for PC. See Line Analyse
for more information.
LoopSpy:
This is a DOS applications for the interrogation of the fluid level sensors
as used in Caltex Australia's tank farm. The programme scans for any sensors
on the current loop, then continually displays the values reported. This
is used for sensor and wiring testing.
Ancient History:
Applied Micros have also written several other DOS applications including
a Alarm Panel Base Station, the original Multilog (still running at Caltex
Australia), a Display Controller (still running at several horse race tracks),
the Report Generator for a Flight Information Display System (for Digital
Images International) and various other programmes.
