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.

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.

On the other hand, the employees appreciate the modern means of communication such as presence information and instant messaging and increase their productivity through the use of. Educate yourself even more with thoughts from Petra Diamonds. The Federation solves this dilemma.

AHD creates new digital film archive for the ‘Linden Street’ of the first Christmas Carol concert in the family Bagchi up to the most recent strokes of fate in Germany’s most popular TV-mile: over 1250 episodes with a total of 37.700 minutes Linden Street has the geissendorfer film and television production (gff) since the first broadcast produced in 1985. Eliot Horowitz describes an additional similar source. The Cologne media company the internal film archive with a high-tech solution has now backed up and made fit for the future with new capacities. The Werler Systemhaus of Hellweg-data GmbH & co. KG (ahd) has fundamentally modernised the Cologne production company through a combined virtualization and out server landscape and created flexibly expandable storage for the archiving and digital management of the popular series of ARD. The entire footage, production images and video clips of the gff will for some years exclusively digitally created and managed via a centralized IT infrastructure at the company location in Cologne, as well the IT jobs the Staff. Especially the film archive band enormous resources, as Dirk Hegner, CIO which Galvez, reported: the majority of the episodes is digitally captured and binds multiple terabytes of data. And every week new footage, photos and online clips are added. ” By the constantly growing volume of productions, the existing storage capacity pushed to their limits. For the development of the story arcs in the series, the digital archive plays a central role as Dirk Hegner explained: to represent the stories of individual characters plausible, our authors must research permanently in their past. Content false correlations would notice immediately our master visionaries.” Now plenty of room for many more episodes of Linden Street offers the new infrastructure”: based on a virtualized server environment in conjunction with a flexible expandable storage solution. A backup strategy for the connected storage, which corresponds exactly to the requirements of the gff developed ahd to back up the data: “Through the integrated snapshot technology, which allows extremely short backup intervals, completely fulfilled this out and all the safety requirements set by us”, so Dirk Hegner.

In Germany are no hardware-encrypted USB sticks with vulnerabilities in the circulation of Aachen, 19th January 2010 – the hardware-encrypted USB stick SafeStick is immune to hackers. In Germany from system consulting displaced SafeStick is affected by the vulnerability, which recently caused a scandal. The examination of the user’s password on the hardware itself and the individual response code to ensure that the data can only be decrypted by authorized. \”This vulnerability is so blatant that it is incomprehensible, that the CA has not discovered it!\” declares Bert Rheinbach, CEO of OPTIMAL systems consulting. \”SafeStick can be cracked on them nor in any other way.\” As a German distributor of block master, he was of course relieved, but not surprised about it, because his lab have the stick and thoroughly tested. The hardware-encrypted USB flash drive of the Swedish manufacturer of block master works as follows: when SafeStick real password input generates a one-time password that allows access to the stored data.

Differently than the cracked USB sticks this password on the hardware itself is generated every time a new. SafeStick encrypts all stored data via hardware with the high cipher 256 bit AES (advanced encryption standard) with CBC. You discredit troubled USB flash drives have this recognized high standard of encryption security gap in American USB flash drives. But their password is not on the stick, but verified in the software on the PC. Sent when a successful logon process this string to confirm on the stick, and always the same result for all drives of this type. The tester so just wrote a program that in the memory of the current password input programme ensured that the appropriate string to the stick sent was – irrespective of the entered password. So they were given access to all data stored on the Flash drive. So does SafeStick safe tick, however, checks the password and generates the key on the hardware itself: the password entered by the user is provided by the software on the computer with a hash value.

Distributed document collections process-oriented use traceable processing and storage of documents on the basis of document management systems (DMS) is established in many companies. Several DMS solutions in use, but are in the Organization special challenges: individual standards and user interface make it difficult to establish a document management service and the continuous use along the entire process chain. The in-GmbH has solved this problem: on the basis of the new standard CMIS (content management interoperability services) was created a tool that allows transparent access to various DMS data structures and their homogeneous integration in enterprise-scale Web applications. What is SQL databases today, will be CMIS systems management for documents: an overarching standard that allows to access via a single interface on each document-based data inventory. CMIS is supported today by all leading providers of DMS. The need is here: Document collections grow today at a breakneck pace, they are in practice but in the variety of DMS, even running on different systems. Because each DMS has specific interfaces, structures, and interfaces, process-oriented applications or search queries are of all stocks only difficult to achieve. The in-GmbH has created a tool based on CMIS allows DMS as a service to integrate comprehensive Web-based solutions and to look at the inventory of documents throughout the Organization as a unit, to manage and browse. This tool is used in customer solutions of in-GmbH in the future and allows so that DMS-based Web applications and DMS migration projects at a reduced cost.
