Visual Communications Aid Industrial Adds, Moves, and Changes

One of the biggest pains in life is moving. I’ve moved way too many times in my life. When I moved off campus in college, I just threw my junk into a duffel bag and was ready to go. Later, when we lived in New York City, and we moved from one block to another, we used shopping carts “borrowed” from the supermarket to move our stuff.

Visual Indication of Condensate Evacuation from Process Applications

All steam system plant personnel seem to share two major concerns: (1) Is condensate being properly evacuated from the process, and (2) is steam being prohibited from blowing through the condensate drainage devices (steam trap stations, control valves, etc.) so it doesn’t waste energy and cause component failure?

Considerations for Medical Grade Foot Controls

Many factors should be considered when choosing a medical foot control for your device. Design Engineers must know that the operation of a foot switch is often very critical to a procedure, so the look of the pedal can not be the only consideration. Switch integrity and reliability has to be the most important factors due to the seriousness of the atmosphere it will be performing in.

Seven Common KPIs for Production Monitoring

Strategic philosophies or practices such as Kaizen, Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, Total Quality Management and Continuous Improvement are used by many organizations to help improve processes,drive productivity and maintain a competitive edge in today’s ever‐increasing global economy. Despite varying concepts, each practice uses Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to assess, analyze and track manufacturing processes. Even if an organization does not employ formal continuous improvement initiatives, efficiency gains can still be realized by borrowing lessons learned through the visual management techniques of those processes. This white paper discusses how visual management can drive productivity by leveraging seven common Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for production line monitoring.

How to Select Industrial Floor-Care Equipment for Increased Productivity and Performance

  
A clean working environment helps promote worker safety, productivity and product quality.  That’s why the floor-cleaning equipment you select for your facility is nearly as important as the manufacturing or material handling equipment you select.  In addition, the cleanliness of your plant, warehouse or machine ship conveys a quality image that carries over into higher employee morale and positive reactions from visiting customers and vendors.  In short, keep the workplace clean adds real value to virtually any enterprise.

How Air Gaging Works

Air gaging relies on a law of physics that states flow and pressure are directly proportionate to clearance and react inversely to each other.  As clearance increases, air flow also increases and air pressure decreases proportionately.  As clearance decreases, air flow also decreases and air pressure increases.
