National drowning prevention week: be especially cautious when working from home

The current pandemic is forcing a lot of people to work from home, and many have their kids with them. Summer’s hot weather is here, and what’s better than cooling off and having fun in the water? Swimming in a pool or another body of water can certainly be great, but safety precautions must be taken to prevent any sad endings. Unfortunately, drowning accidents have increased this year, and to mark National Drowning Prevention Week (July 19 to 25, 2020), we’ve provided some helpful tips for a happy summer. According to the Canadian Red Cross, drowning is one of the leading causes of unintentional death in children aged four or younger. Because they can disappear in seconds and drown in only a few centimetres of water, children are especially vulnerable.

Motion amplification: a new tool for vibration diagnosis

Vibration analysis using accelerometers is a powerful tool for preventive maintenance, breakage detection or troubleshooting. For complex issues, however, traditional methods require a large number of measurement points and the manipulation of high volumes of data. In addition, the results must be rendered into non-technical language before being communicated. A new technology developed by RDI Technologies, motion amplification, now facilitates vibration analysis.

Secure remote access to production networks: the advantages of VDI technology

Production networks are very complex infrastructures. Since maintaining these networks requires expertise from multiple groups of specialists, external resources are often required. In addition, due to various constraints, in-house specialists aren’t always available on site. So, remote access to the business and production networks is a must. However, remote access to sensitive networks like supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems or production networks should not be taken lightly. Any misuse of this access could affect production, cause major financial loss, or even put employees at risk. Therefore, securing these networks must be a priority, and remote access must be simple to control and easy to use. The virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solution meets these criteria. There are many ways to deploy a VDI solution to give employees access to business and production/SCADA networks. Remote access needs are different for every company and the VDI solution can be customized to any network environment. This blog post presents some of the advantages of the VDI solution.

Hazardous locations: the game rules – Part 1

This blog article introduces hazardous locations: the classified areas where explosive atmospheres involving flammable gases, vapours or combustible dusts are likely to be present and therefore require measures to prevent ignition hazards. When it comes to hazardous locations, plant managers must exercise judgment based on both risk management principles and the judicious use of financial resources. But how should they base their decisions? How do they ensure they’re implementing the right measures without overdoing it? Since there are several possible approaches, it’s important to be supported by experts to prevent unnecessary concerns and expenses. Where do you stand?
