Ways To Handle Your Maintenance System

CMMS System
There are many things that need to be considered when you operate a business to ensure that you are profitable as well as to make sure that you are running as smoothly as possible. This is often taken care of by specific staff members, such as the maintenance staff who are assigned to those responsibilities. In many cases, it is also necessary for you to have a CMMS system in place so that you can effectively track everything that needs to be done via software solution. This is true when it comes to a maintenance management system so that the routine maintenance is done and tickets are tracked effectively. It is also true when it comes to enterprise asset management, or EAM, which allows you to track all of the assets of your business and make sure that you are using them to their full potential.

Many companies are still running tickets and taking care of all the paperwork by hand. By having the right type of software solution in place, however, you can not only save time, you can have a more effective way of handling the entire ticket process. For example, instead of writing the ticket by hand and then handing it to a maintenance professional and having them run the ticket, you can take care of everything on the computer. The ticket is written, printed, and then after it is completed, it is filed into the computer as being completed. This is a much more effective way of you handling your maintenance staff so that you make the most of what they have to offer.

Robotics and Cars For Blind People

Dennis Hong, founder and director of RoMeLa -- a Virginia Tech robotics lab, has created a prototype car which allows a blind person to drive. Now I know this doesn't directly have anything to do with technology in most classrooms, but it is so incredible and does actually relate directly to robotics, laser rangefinders, GPS and smart feedback tools.Watch this video and see how amazing this is!
