SD-Scicon Plc has appointed the first French distributor for Supercapes, its computer-aided process planning and estimating system that runs on the HP 9000 Series 800 RISC computers. SD-Scicon says that the appointment of Paris-based Access Productique is a result of an agreement with Hewlett-Packard that allows HP’s resellers to promote Supercapes as a standard computer-aided process planning and estimating system for the company’s machines. Supercapes also runs on DEC VAXes, and SD-Scicon is seeking distributors in Germany and across the rest of Europe. The company claims that it is the leading process planning product in the UK with a 40% share of the market.
