Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Compressed plans suit use in the field from
Cad-Capture, which we summarised at the time by saying "Dawson had recently invested in integrated PDA/mobile phones so that its service engineers can have all of the information that they need to do their jobs while working remotely on customer's
sites".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release PLC training courses target specific brands from
Festo: "Festo Didactic has developed 14 PLC training courses, covering basic and intermediate level maintenance and troubleshooting requirements for popular PLCs".
In January 2008, we covered the news from ABB Automation Tech (Drives and Motors)
- take a look at Digital system cuts time lost on paperwork
which says: "ABB's new digital pen and paper (DPandP) technology from Destiny did not require ABB to change their existing operation, and still provides a proof of delivery note".
Take a look also at the news release from Seaward Electronic, Code updates portable appliance testing,
as well as Hydraulic cylinders are cushioned for control from Bosch Rexroth - Hydraulics,
and Company focuses on rail sector from CompAir UK.
