WHITE PAPERS AND CASE STUDIES

• Common Reasons For FDA Form 483 Observations And Warning Letters In Medical Device Environments

  Regulatory inspections conducted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are commonly followed by a list of observations noted during an audit. By understanding the FDA’s updated approach to medical device regulation and the information provided in this document about inspection observations, medical device companies can more easily identify and mitigate compliance issues.

• Revolutionizing Pumping Station Control

  Sulzer-led award-winning project improves performance and control of sewage pumping stations.

• Attention! Double Diaphragm Metering Pumps Succeed At Major Military Base

  Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton is the major West Coast base of the United States Marine Corps. It is located on the Southern California coast, in San Diego County. The Camp maintains a self-sustaining water supply and sewage treatment plant to serve a population of 70,000.

• Asset Utilization (OEE) Monitoring

  Increased visibility into unproductive process time is necessary to reduce inefficiencies. With the ability to increase production opportunities when reducing waiting times, overall profitability can also increase. 

• Laser Forensics: The Invisible, Revealed And Measured

  According to the developers at Scanovis, brushes, powder and chemicals will soon be tools of the past for securing evidence at crime scenes. The company has developed a laser-based solution that, among other things, uses IR laser radiation to detect fingerprints at the scene of a crime, quickly making them visible in a 3D scan and recording them digitally. Decisive factors for this technological breakthrough are the precision of the results delivered by the laser scanner and the easy handling of the system. But how to adjust the optics of a system using a low power laser in the mid-infrared spectrum? Working together with Ophir's measurement experts, the company was able to combine different measurement methods to this end.

• Removing The Barriers To eConsent Adoption

  Electronic consent (eConsent) technology has existed for nearly 20 years in various iterations. Read how sponsors overall have taken a cautious approach to using eConsent, piloting it on individual studies but refraining from incorporating it across all pipelines in clinical operations.

• Hydro-Electric Power Station Benefits From The Use Of Siemens Flow Meters

  Pumped storage hydro-electric power is a method of producing electricity to supply high peak power demands by moving water between water reservoirs at different elevations. At times of low electrical demand, excess generation capacity is used to pump water back into the higher reservoir. When there is higher demand, water is released back into the lower reservoir through a turbine. Pumped-storage schemes currently provide the most commercially important means of large-scale grid energy storage. Such systems greatly improve the daily capacity factor of power generating systems though out the world.

• Phantom Goes To MIT: A Series Of Case Studies

  High-speed photography is alive and well at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Edgerton Center. The Center makes high-speed imaging equipment available to students to help further their education in science and engineering.

• Vibration Isolation For Enclosures

  It is crucial in analytical environments that precise weighing takes place inside containment where potent powders being weighed do not escape into the lab. Flow Sciences incorporates a low vibration fan subassembly in its design by using a balanced fan, thicker low static pressure filters which put less strain on the motor, and a soft gasket junction between the fan subassembly and the containment unit. The purpose of this paper is to measure the effectiveness of these three vibration isolation strategies.

• Juice Manufacturere Improves Production And Product Quality With Opcenter APS

  Year after year the demand for Natural One quality products grew more than expected. Serving this growth by using only one filling line became a huge challenge. Siemens solutions enable Natural One to improve production and product quality. Using Opcenter APS to reduce production planning process from three days to two hours with greater reliability.

• Brand Spirits Leader Digitizes Business Operations With The SIMATIC IT Suite

  Gruppo Campari closed 26 acquisitions in the spirits industry in the past two decades to become the world’s sixth player, with over 50 premium and super-premium brands. With each acquisition, Gruppo Campari needs to integrate new products, plants and assets into its operations management systems. By 2012 they realized there was no standard workflow for document authoring and validation, and information was shared via email or phone. Using Siemens technology, Gruppo Campari has created a unified repository for all product specifications and increased the efficiency of product development and manufacturing processes.

• How IT Services Companies Use Field Service Software

  Mobilizing a workforce to handle the growing demand for IT deployments and telecommunications can be especially difficult for a field service provider. Rising internet usages over the past five years has increased demand for voice and data services, cloud solutions, data center technologies and growing IT service networks. From on-site field service, to help desk support, remote desktop repairs and managing a network of subcontractors that specialize it specific IT deployments, the IT industry faces a critical time in managing their enterprise, as the global demand for their services continues to rise.
