Over the past few years, power electronics technology has reduced VFD costs and size and increased performance through developments in semiconductor switching systems, drive topologies, simulation and control technologies, and hardware and software operation. Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) are a green energy efficiency device that compares the amount of work or load on the engine to the amount of energy it takes to power the amount of work. It reduces the consumption of surplus energy.

Listening is important in any conversation. However, listening to the voices that you don’t normally hear from is critical at this time. Those from outside your normal circle of trusted advisers.
I run a mentoring group once a month. At my most recent one I presented my views on Adaptive Leadership which gave a lens to look through to view how our organisations are responding to the current crisis. A common theme that came through strongly was that the best leaders were most definitely communicat
Through this time of rapid change and extreme uncertainty, both customers and the claims workforce need more support and care than ever before.
How can insurers deliver the optimal experience for both employees and customers through a time of unprecedented change?
Register for the ‘Claims Like Never Before’ webinar taking place April 30th at 11 am ET.
Eric Brandt (SVP and Chief Claims Officer, Allstate), Mike Fiato (Chief Claims Officer, Liberty Mutual), Sean Burgess (Chief Claims Officer, USAA) an
With a significant rise in the number of emergency cases, the need of the hour is to transport the patients to the nearest hospital as soon as possible. Ambulance services provide an ambulance that is medically equipped and transports patients to care centers, such as hospitals. In certain cases the patient is given out-of-hospital medical treatment. Emergency services hire ambulances to respond to medical emergencies. In general they are equipped with flashing warning lights and sirens for this
Unsuccessful software applications cost organizations significant efforts and resources. The reasons for these failed ventures are often attributed to technology issues. However, the real issue is flaws in business processes—the enterprise application deployment environment and the ecosystem which the application targets.
This calls for ensuring the organizational readiness before initiating technology deployment. It is for this reason the Business Process Maturity Model (BPMM) originated. BP
Back in early 2019, the Office for Professional Body Anti-Money Laundering Supervision (OPBAS) issued its first report setting out supervisory findings of the 22 Professional Body Supervisors (the PBS). It made for uncomfortable reading and made it clear that there was much to do to improve matters. Fast forward a year, and the picture looks much more positive on paper, but it’s just too early to say whether OPBAS is confident that what they’ve seen is truly effective.
OPBAS was set up by the gov
Millions are locked down at home due to the coronavirus pandemic, but many others still have to go to work in industries such as food preparation, shipping, and manufacturing, particularly medical equipment. FLIR, which manufactures thermal cameras for capturing and tracking military intelligence, claims they've seen an "exponential" rise in sales to industrial customers who want to scan workers for a fever — a primary symptom of COVID-19.
Whether it's a medical company that needs this test befor
As per the recent interim updates by the American Chemistry Council (ACC), there is significant uncertainty in the projections of the U.S. chemical industry as it analyzes the potential impacts of Covid-19 which has caused indefinite halt in the country’s manufacturing activities and muted trading. ACC projects the world trade to plummet by 10.5% this year as the pandemic brings a “perfect storm” to the global economy with U.S. experiencing the hardest blow as it reports the spread of the virus
Technological advancements are a significant growth factor for the global physical vapor deposition (PVD) industry. The increasing need for highly sophisticated surface-related properties such as super-plasticity, magnetic, optical, electronic and catalytic properties, advanced mono-structured coatings also contributes to the growth of this market. The rising performance and environmental benefits provided by these coatings are combined with the fast-growing manufacturing sector in developing ma
Dear All,
Owlin wants to contribute in these turbulent times when it comes to leveraging Natural Language Processing (NLP) to inform the world on the key drivers of the COVID-19 crisis and therefore developed the Owlin Covid-19 Impact Monitor.
Most people are by now familiar with the Johns Hopkins COVID-19 Monitor, which looks into global daily cases and geographical spread of the virus. Many professionals, however, seek information on the material impact of events and consequences of this crisis.
Since the advent of wearable technology in healthcare, data collection and the leverage of predictive health analytics to improve patient service has been increasingly easy for healthcare companies. By using data generated by wearable devices, companies can monitor the exact problem areas and offer treatment as required. Wearable healthcare technology is helpful to both professionals and patients and a technical change of the healthcare industry is said to be initiating.
The year 2020 has already
My blog a few weeks back encouraging you to slide back down the maturity curve and grasp Adaptive Leadership with both hands, has lead me to consider the analysis tools we have available and which would be most useful when looking to be adaptive.
There are a bunch of tools I use regularly. They include Stakeholder Analysis, PESTLE Analysis, Porter’s Industry Five Forces, Unique Value Proposition, Value Chain Analysis and my very own Capability Analysis (templates for most of these are available w

Hospitals are considered places in society where patients can feel safe and looked after. This is why mitigating unnecessary risk is a high priority in healthcare organizations. Rules and regulations around risk in healthcare are constantly being updated and reviewed to ensure staff and patient safety.
As standard, there should be steps that healthcare risk managers should comply in ensuring that the surroundings around all areas are in sufficient condition. Here are some best practices that all
Fire detection and alarm systems have emerged as a new light for the fire safety community. Fire protection engineers, fire officials, and building owners have obtained a new appreciation for the cost-effective role fire alarm systems play in protecting buildings and their residents from fire. Recent advancements in fire alarms technologies include human sensitivity adjustment for smoke detectors,

Business environment has transformed drastically from what it was a century ago. It has become immensely challenging due to competition, disruptive technologies, laws, and globalization. These challenges warrant better performance to address customer needs and to survive—and outpace—intense competition. Consequently, organizations have become complex.
The work that individuals perform in an organization has also shifted from manual labor and clerical jobs to knowledge-based experiential tasks.
The cancer registry software simplifies data collection for national and state registries and also helps to monitor the effectiveness of different treatment strategies. Cancer is among the main causes of morbidity and mortality. Population Based Cancer Registries (PBCRs) plays a crucial role in the creation and evaluation of cancer prevention plans. As cancer grows more and more, the cancer registry is of great importance as the center of cancer prevention systems, and numerous software has been
Since 2001, during the ‘first wave’ of Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) compliance, the approach taken by reporting entities is to assign the work of Know Your Customer (KYC) almost exclusively to human specialists.
In the early 2000s, it was entirely rational to assign manual labour to these activities as the process of KYC was novel and not fully understood, and also because humans are flexible and adapt as circumstances change.
In a workflow typical of ‘first wav
