TRUMPF Laser to Embed MySQL in its Manufacturing Products

MySQL AB reports on the deployment of Linux and the MySQL DBMS by TRUMPF Laser. "TRUMPF has selected MySQL to control the pulsating solid-state laser in its TruPulse series of welding tools. TRUMPF TruPulse lasers are used for welding in the automotive industry, in jewelry-making and in medical technology such as the production of dental braces -- all areas in which the highest level of precision is required. “With MySQL as the central data storage in our new laser control, we attain a clean, stable and easily expandable architecture,” said Rainer Thieringer, head of software development at TRUMPF Laser. “Moreover, the open source concept fits perfectly with TRUMPF’s control philosophy: Every piece of software in the laser control must be validated at the source code level.”"
