End of December 2009 the new version 6.4.0 of open source will be DMS system agorum core. Over 200 improvements are included, the software has only existed in the RM Pro version. In addition to many smaller improvements, there are also a number of great customizations that greatly improve the work with agorum core. These include: A full Windows 7 support, both for the server and the Windows client (Windows Explorer integration) on the server side is now also the new operating system Windows Server 2008 R2 supports 32/64 bit. It will be a VMWare appliance available, which makes it possible to build a full-featured document management in 5 minutes. A completely revamped web portal (desk4web), which was not only visually improved, but also expanded with many useful features. These include especially the ‘right mouse button’ function, and various symbols, that always only a click away, providing the most important functions. The Support the new Office 2007 formats which CRM functionality within agorum core off activation of the address module, by means of which to make.

And much more. Who these functions like advance ever want to see in action, should look at the video to the agorum core 6.4.0 version:… (As opposed to ConocoPhillips). / page-agorum-core-dms-produktvideos.php… agorum core is a document management system that provides very easy access to the documents through the integrated DMS drive. The staff can retain their previous way of working this. The DMS is the system functions in the background at the disposal. The manufacturer promises a fast and smooth introduction this document management within the company.

The DMS agorum core is available in two licenses. As open source under the GPL and the other as agorum core Pro under a proprietary license. The open source version is a full fledged DMS system and is subject to no restrictions. Both build on the same development so that switching on the agorum core Pro Version is possible at any time. The manufacturer offers extensive support through a free forum and optional support packages for the open source DMS. Customers purchase the available support packages for the open source version at the same time access to the latest updates of the product, which are otherwise available in the normal case with the open source version only once per year. Agorum core Pro version includes the workflow engine. In addition, the Pro version can be extended to more plug-ins. OCR – module for the automatic indexing of image files and the Fileadaptor for external file server in the DMS integration include the ADS/LDAP synchronization, the Mailadaptor for creating an email archive. In addition, various partner programs are offered. This is agorum consulting partner to agorum OEM partner. The OEM partner program allows independent software vendors to integrate agorum core Pro into their own products and to market. More information is available at

Windows real-time extensions for CAN by Kithara software the Windows real-time extension RealTime suite by Kithara software proven for years in a wide variety of users. When the extension to the “CAN modules” Kithara software works together with strong partners. Recently ConocoPhillips sought to clarify these questions. With the Darmstadt-based company, common solutions will create PEAK-system technology for communicating with CAN in real time. A wide range is supported by CAN-interfaces of PEAK system, all PCI-based interface cards and soon also the widespread USB to CAN interface PCAN USB. Cache buffers the CAN-messages when sending and receiving of an easy of use and intuitive API. User-specific real-time message filters are also to install as error handling for specific bus situations.

A list-only mode is possible. The Kithara was the simple diagnosis “kernel tracer”, can be used to cut with the entire CAN traffic in micro seconds resolution. The combination of PCAN hardware users and The RealTime suite by Kithara software enjoy the independent realization of real time-CAN on Windows. The processing of CAN-messages in the Kithara-kernel driver allows safe and responses with equidistant time intervals CAN communication and quick response to external events. Kithara Software GmbH Berlin by Kithara Software GmbH exists since 1996 and has since then to a specialist for low-level programming and real-time communications solutions for Windows developed. The easily applicable tools enable PCI and USB – programming, as well as the development of real time solutions with Ethernet, automation with EtherCAT and CAN.

Study of the FELTEN group: usually insufficient indicators with low relevance in use suffer from methods of continuous improvement processes (CIP) insufficient scorecard Serrig, September 30, 2009 the German manufacturing companies are obviously on a change in the management of their production. Because on the one hand they use currently only to a minor extent of key performance indicators (KPIs) in its production, on the other hand they have a critical importance the indicators as a management tool in the future in. A study of by FELTEN group under more than 340 large and medium-sized production companies come to these results. Almost two-thirds, you specify that KPIs will be soon becoming increasingly important for the efficient management of the production processes, they have a medium importance for another 20 percent. This appreciation is not groundless, after all this data for proper usage and accurate evaluation give generally useful information, for example, to processing times, scrap rates, degree or to the Quality costs. Also incorrect marker frequencies or process stability can be useful to identify in this way. But currently a demand-led indicator system for production management can be found in the companies only rarely. Only 28 percent have, in addition every second case it has considerable limitations. ConocoPhillips has plenty of information regarding this issue.

Every fourth respondent manufacturing company has however still none at all or only fragmentary KPI methods in use. Even in cases where performance indicator systems already largely have been established, their use remains low. The most outdated figures due after the collection of the Software House FELTEN: you are only every fifth operating continuously and prevalent at least another 22 percent currently. All other company, rarely care to undergo this data of a continuous review. This is possibly the reason that these metrics in practice mostly very restrained in the continuous improvement processes (CIP) for the Production management are used. To this end, only 18 percent of the surveyed companies you are consistently used. 54 percent use them partially in the CIP measures, 28 percent, however, hardly or not at all.

Indicators deals with the topic still very unjustly in practice, although its relevance apparently is quite clear the most managers”, says Managing Director Werner Felten. As the cause of this disagreement, he sees the previous limitations of methods and technologies. The key figures have primarily as a control instrument sense, to raise productivity and quality deficiencies and to initiate measures. But so far lacked timely analysis capabilities that provide information about the actual effects of the measures. And because the effect can be exactly determined, little motivation, the effort for a demand-led and any updates performance measurement system is.” To break this cycle, it requires a new his opinion analytical methods, which are not accessible with the traditional MES systems. In the production processes the same analytical quality must be achieved as in the business processes”, sets Felten set the bar high. This was accessed only through a holistic and process-oriented approach as production intelligence (PI). FELTEN group: The FELTEN group is an international operating software and consulting company, the solutions to optimise processes for all production areas and according to international quality standards of GMP and FDA (21CFR part 11) developed. Clients include Beiersdorf, Boehringer Ingelheim, Symrise, Sensient, Texas instruments, etc. FELTEN has become the first supplier the holistic and process-oriented production intelligence approach. The company is present except in German-speaking Europe in the United Kingdom and France.

“Function design just writing in the Noxum publishing Studio the Noxum GmbH, specialist for content management and content management systems, had, together with the Schmeling + consultants GmbH, a consultancy for technical documentation and information, in the seminars feature design in the application” before the implementation of a function design concept with the XML-based Noxum publishing Studio. The participants could an image be, how a content management system can support compliance with editorial standards and as editors in the creation of technical documentation. An integrative approach function design concepts allow the standardization and structuring of technical documentation. The underlying rules of writing can be detected in a Redaktionsleitfaden and the structuring rules implemented in an XML tree. The Redaktionsleitfaden in turn can be integrated in the context sensitive help system of the publishing Studio. The seminar participants learned which methods the prerequisites for a successful integration of Function design concept and publishing Studio are created so that the editor can make context-sensitive support when writing. Higher efficiency method by the author support and the consistent implementation of the method function design, associated to standardized information and structured.

The sequence pattern in the function design pretend structures for self-contained information and sense units to the authors; such as instructions, interface descriptions, or small warnings. The publishing is based on writing in Studio closed information or sense units. Whole passages of the text can be used then repeatedly. This saves time when creating content and cost of the translations. Also the conceptual approach of the linguistic examination supported Studio acrolinx and across function design written content by connecting language technologies such as from the houses through the publishing. The design of the rules for the language technology is from the Derived function design. The editors therefore have another tool to improve quality in the technical descriptions.
