Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Software acquisition cuts electrical design time from
Bentley Systems (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "Flagship product line, p-romise, comprises intelligent, easy-to-use software that generates electrical system schematics and supporting documentation".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Electrical testers emerge under their own name from
Hitek: "Horsham-based Hitek has been appointed by world-leading electrical testing equipment manufacturer HT-Italia to offer its range of measurement devices in the UK".
In October 2007, we covered the news from Procter Machinery Guarding
concerning its Machine Guards
- take a look at Safeguarding machinery in schools and colleges
which says: "Jeremy Procter, Convenor of the European Standards Committee responsible for Machine Guards, reviews the updated BS4163:2007 code of practice relating to machine safeguarding".
Take a look also at the news release from Deritend Group, Drives improve hospital efficiency,
as well as Software company starts training courses from Amtech Power Software,
