Let me explain. I recently shared with a dear friend that every time my accountant mentions the word “liquid assets”, my STEM-brain immediately thinks of a Chemistry lab. As an accountant himself, we both had a good chuckle about it. (STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). But it really goes toContinue reading “Liquid Assets? States of Matter?”

It’s the little things
DCS (Distributed Computer System) Manufacturing plants use computer systems called a DCS, which stands for Distributed Computer System. The DCS is the “brain” behind the process. The DCS gathers inputs from automated equipment in the plant. Transmitters An automated equipment has a small sensor or transmitter that sends signals back to the DCS continuously. EquipmentContinue reading “It’s the little things”
Effective Documentation: From Noise to a Symphony
From Noise to a Symphony In an earlier post The story in your code, I introduced the concept of noise when it comes to data. Essentially, data without context is just noise. I wanted to go into a bit more detail of what that means with an example using a batch manufacturing process. Continuous vs BatchContinue reading “Effective Documentation: From Noise to a Symphony”
The power of tin foil and the written word
Maintaining target operating conditions In the manufacturing industry, process safety is paramount. And by process safety, I mean the safety of the equipment used in your process. Process equipment is designed to operate at a target set of operating conditions. Sometimes, however, the process can deviate outside of those limits and create major headaches forContinue reading “The power of tin foil and the written word”
