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 Leadership course boosts productivity from
Arc Energy Resources, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Institute of Leadership and Management course was designed to help attendees recognise inefficiencies in their departments and implement business improvements to resolve
them".
Earlier in the week,
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 AV Technology, Testing satisfies vibration legislation,
as well as Campaign urges safety across Europe from British Safety Council,
and Free padlocks improve electrical safety from Schneider Electric.
