Keyword: SME student assessment:
The Society of Manufacturing Engineers
(SME) has been granted $292,000 from
the U.S. Dept. of Energy to partner SME
Student Chapters with existing Industrial
Assessment Centers at universities nationwide.
Keyword: Compressed dew points:
Sampling is needed when direct measurement
of the air is undesirable or is simply
not feasible. This may be due to a high process
temperature, the need to protect the
sensor from water spikes, the added convenience
of installing and removing the instrument
from a pressurized process without
shutting down the line, or wanting to make
the measurement in a more convenient
location. This paper shares tips on how to
get a representative sample of the process
gas and avoid potential sources of error
caused by incorrect sampling practices.
Keyword: Industrial wireless market:
New research study from Frost & Sullivan
projects massive growth for the wireless
industrial automation market. While revenues
are expected to more than double
over the next four years, implementation of
wireless technology still is lagging. Analysts
attribute this to a lack of understanding
about the full potential of wireless.
Keyword: AME Hall of Fame: The
Association of Manufacturing Excellence
named four 2012 Hall of Fame inductees at
its annual conference. The honor recognizes
individuals who have distinguished themselves
in the manufacturing community in a
manner that is consistent with AME’s mission
to inspire a commitment to enterprise
excellence through shared learning and
access to best practices.

WHITE PAPER
Effectively manage
your fleet system
A new white paper from Hyster talks about the most effective ways to manage
your lift truck fleet systems.
When lift truck fleets are not properly maintained or utilized efficiently,
downtime increases, productivity is reduced and you may end up spending
money when you should be making money. The challenge of properly
maintaining your fleet can be resolved through an effective fleet
management program.
Fleet management programs help navigate hidden opportunities to reduce
your materials handling spending. As you are confronted with difficult economic
hurdles, the need to shed cost for sustainability is a must if you are to emerge
from these economic times leaner, stronger and poised to take advantage of
economic recovery.
