Yes, but "process automation" is a broad term. IBM has worked to heavily
promote OS/2 and some associated products in the discrete manufacturing
arena and have convinced some fairly heavy hitters (e.g. Ford Motor).
While discrete manufacturing is not a real-time intensive as continuous
process, it is none the less a form of process automation. Of course
you have to take the system's architecture into account when designing
your automation application, but then that's always the case isn't it?
