Document Management Workflow

For its part to ensure the internal operation, the direction of the organization is required to acquire the necessary technology to ensure creating a local computer network and if possible link it to the networks of similar organizations. Internal networks need not have the technology in the market. The workstations can be computers with the minimum capacity needed to implement them in applications for creating the documents necessary for the functioning of the organization, as well as necessary for communication within the organization. However, they must have at least one computer with more storage capacity and computing power possible for the conditions of the organization, since it will stay on the database the organization and access mechanisms such by its members.

Proposed, from these functions, a series of measures to promote internal management of the organization and teamwork. These may indicate:

• define and systematize the management policies for documentation (paper and electronic) in the organization,

• involved in the implementation of these policies to all members of the organization, without exception,

• invest in technology to create a local network of computers in the organization and link where possible to the networks of similar organizations and the Internet, if possible,

• create databases that store both the information necessary for the different departments such as the history of the organization, i.e. your file

• creating mechanisms for access to these databases via the web

• create mechanisms for group work and technological facilities to do so,

• lead each member to work with new strategies.

As part of the policy defined within the organization, we suggest considering the following aspects: identifying the exact value of the document processing and storage, to determine their life cycle, ensuring the continuity of the quality of their information, ensuring that once stored, it does not lose value, facilitate access to information and preserve the most relevant documents.

Then, the organization would have efficient mechanisms-perhaps-electronic document management, which ultimately impact positively on meeting the needs of workers and users, especially those responsible for this task increasingly important within each organization.

We conclude that the development of systems for electronic document management was really dizzy. The volumes of information in electronic form increases daily in a way impossible to ignore, as technology has revolutionized the multimedia features of documents in digital form increases daily processing capacity and storage of computer equipment and lower their prices. All this paves the way for organizations to define their own management strategies that will drive their development towards knowledge era. Unfortunately, it remains a privilege of developed countries' organizations. For all other conditions are created, there are alternatives.

Ultrasound and infrared image made safer electrical inspections

Ultrasound is more than just a leak detector. It is a versatile and important tool that should be in the toolbox of every company that has a Predictive Maintenance Program (PdM).

Ultrasound is versatile enough that if you only use it to detect steam traps failures and bearings, you are not taking full advantage of it. One should consider using ultrasound as part of its electric PdM program as well. Ultrasound can be used to hear the arc (arcing), tracking and corona discharge to scan or inspect the control panel, without opening the door panels and electrical control panel. Ultrasound is also used for inspecting transformer substations, switches, lines and switches to the corona, tracking or arcing.

Ultrasound complements Infrared Image

Since under 240 kV ring is in the infrared spectrum, the infrared image can be recognized, nor can see. Ultrasound can detect corona to 1 kV or higher.

What is a crown? Corona is the faint glow adjacent to the surface of an electrical conductor at high voltage (1 kV or higher) due to gas ionization due to high electrical stress. Stress can be caused by pollution, poor insulation values, design defects and / or a poor installation.

Why Ultrasound?

• Ultrasound can hear high frequency sounds above the human listener in the range of 20,000 Hz (20 kHz) and above.

• Ultrasound can hear ring under 240 kV.

• Ultrasound is very directional.

• Shortwave and typically 1 / 8 "to 5 / 16" of an inch long.

• Portable.

• Cost effective and a high "return-on-the-investment."

Safety First

For safety reasons, the ultrasound should be part of your program pdm infrared. If used before opening the doors or electrical panels, ultrasound may actually prevent injuries and, quite possibly, save lives. Ultrasound can hear re corona, tracking or arcing around, or panels or doors alerting technicians of potential danger before opening.

Even a novice who uses ultrasound receiver for the first time in error, will receive no arcing even if present. The ultrasound receiver amplifies the signal and heterodyne. The sound is then received in the headphones as a low frequency signal that we can hear and understand.

Starting in my career I learned to listen for ultrasound to riding in the field and scan control panels and substation engineers and technicians. This included interference scan for signals from radio / TV, listen to the internal arcing transformer oil analysis pump bearings and fan transformer, scan to detect leakage of nitrogen and for SF6 gas leaks in switches.

Write books - What to Consider?

Readers storm in book stores when their favorite author has released a new book. One wishes such a thing is it not? To write books that would sell to people like wildfire.

There are books that touch countless readers to conquer their hearts and bring them to dream. Such books are bestsellers and are usually sold internationally. It is something that you own and that is missing other texts. Being a writer, is not something that can be accomplished by everybody?

A good writer does most with considerable experience, which he passes in the form of a text to the reader, of course, be packed in thought or real, retold actions. A good story lives on a unique idea or a unique implementation of content. Special attention should be directed in this regard to the authenticity. A writer must convince his reader through his work and shape the narrative so that atmosphere and excitement is generated. The book must captivate the reader. In addition to good knowledge of spelling and grammar, it is also important that a good author, style and expression are selected so that they reflect the content. Language and content have to match. Writing books requires a certain disposition, but can certainly be learned. Important is the joy of writing and the identification of their own works.

If you have these qualities, you can play with the idea of going with the story to a publisher. Previously, one should have the text read by his friends. With a positive response, they can now request an audience with the appropriate publisher, if at all interested.

Writing books and marketing it is not easy and should not only have a dream as a foundation, which can explode at any time. However, you should not be deterred by setbacks from that goal, if one is really a good writer.

Launch of the new technology focus IT2Green: energy efficient ICT for SMEs, management and housing

Today was held in Berlin, the opening conference of the technology competition IT2Green. For this purpose, representatives of 49 companies and scientific institutions have come together who could qualify for participation in the competition. Goal of IT2Green is to reduce the power consumption of information and communication technologies (ICT) in data centers, telecommunications networks, office and home applications.

The Federal Minister of Economics and Technology, Rainer Brüderle, the program starts: "The rapid development and distribution of digital content in the form of text, images, audio and video features as well as a growing number of devices and new online services lead to increased power consumption. that we want to reduce the long term. The projects selected in the program IT2Green give an important impetus for greater energy efficiency in this area. "

Under the program, the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology in the next three years, Germany's ten projects with around 30 million €. Total investment industry, research and policy on technology focus IT2Green about 60 million €.

Research shows that network-based services and ICT infrastructure to develop a current wholesale customers. Already in 2009 led to one from the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology Fraunhofer-commissioned study found that ICT accounts for more than ten percent of Germany's electricity needs. On the one hand, the use of ICT users in areas such as engineering, transport or energy sector so that although significant energy savings. On the other hand, the ICT itself, however, claim a growing share of total electricity consumption.

The program IT2Green therefore aims at the development of more efficient structures of information and communication technologies. The ten selected funding projects for developing energy-efficient solutions in the three areas of 'telecommunications network', 'data centers and Clouds "and" Monitoring and Management.

In the "telecommunications networks" is about the maximum energy efficiency through better activity and load control in wireless and fixed networks. Focus on "data centers and Clouds", projects dealing with innovative concepts for data management and information load displacement for the energy efficient design of data centers, including the use of cloud computing technologies. The "Monitoring and Management" finally developed and tested new
Measurement, presentation and control procedures to improve the energy efficiency of ICT.

The Programme IT2Green is part of the IT-summit in November 2008 adopted the Action Plan "Green IT Pioneer Germany." The focus will be energy efficient and environmentally innovative information and communication infrastructures and the development of services for SMEs, management and housing. The aim of the research projects are the development and testing of systems solutions that reduce energy consumption of information and communication technology (ICT) significantly.
