Computerized Inventory Systems for Forest Fire Equipment and Personnel

Stress echocardiography: personnel and technical equipment.

In recent years, stress echocardiography has gained broad acceptance as a non-invasive method for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. Facing different protocols, dosages and instrumentation, official guidelines for the performance, standardization and quality control of stress echocardiograms are needed; however, so far they are not available. This paper recommends the type of personnel a...

Equipment #exibility vs. inventory: A simulation study of manufacturing systems

Technological #exibility requires very high initial investments and therefore a decision to acquire it is both risky and strategic in nature. The objective of this paper is to "nd out the technological #exibility requirements in just-in-time manufacturing under di!erent environmental situations. The simulation results show that the incorporation of #exibility in a manufacturing system is vital....

Developing the forest fire extinguish equipment management system using GPS and GIS

Recently in order to extinguish large scaled of forest fire efficiently many helicopters tend to be mobilized. In this situation, the most consideration for the rapid extinguish is the effective arrangement and management of helicopters, which is regard as the most important forest fire extinguish equipment. In this paper, client/serve based forest fires extinguish equipment management system i...

SIL Rating Fire Protection Equipment

SIL's (Safety Integrity Levels) are used by IEC 61508:1998 [1] to characterise the required functional safety of computer control systems. For example, SIL 4, the highest rating is for fly by wire aircraft and weapons systems and track circuited train signalling systems while SIL 2 is typical of certain Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC). Fire control panels have not been SIL rated to date ev...
