We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Service Engineer",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Electrical tester improves rental safety from
Clare Instruments, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Clare test kit enables all three-phase electrical equipment to be thoroughly and safely tested without the need for the service engineer to dismantle the plug and fit links between
phases".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release System connects machine tools from
Siemens Automation and Drives: "With Profinet, machine tools can have a real-time Ethernet system that meets the requirements of IT, automation and motion control".
In July 2007, we covered the news from Rocol Lubricants
concerning its Rocolcare programme
- take a look at Lubrication system provides benefits for Nestle
which says: "Rocol Lubricants' Rocolcare programme has helped Nestle cut lubrication-related equipment failures by between 20 and 25% at its Halifax site".
Take a look also at the news release from Schaeffler (UK), RFID added to vibration sensor,
as well as Monitoring system detects machinery faults early from Schaeffler (UK),
and Software tool aids bearing mounting from Schaeffler (UK).
