The DPWS implementation in Grafchart was tried out on a quality control station of SmartFactory’s SOA demonstrator, checking if bins have been filled with the correct number of pills. When a carrier arrives, one should check that there is a bin on it, if so the status of the bin should be read, and if it is ready for quality control then it should be executed. Not only was it possible to implement this using DPWS in Grafchart, but the application actually looks like one would model the process conceptually.
