The new day registration law obliges companies to keep a daily record of the start and end times of their workers’ day. Organizations, especially those that focus on human capital management, have different alternatives when it comes to supervising the work activity of their employees but not all of them adapt to all job profiles or offer the same data reliability. The effectiveness of the systems chosen should not be at odds with the satisfaction of the employees who are going to be exposed to them since, if so, their motivation would be affected and with that their productivity could suffer the consequences.

We can expect to see significant changes this year for the society. There will be new challenges for technology to deal with. Organizations, businesses and individuals will need to adjust and realign to these new challenges.  Moving towards Environmental Governance There have been some surprising developments over the past couple of years that have seriously challenged the way large organizations and companies carry out their businesses. We had the MeToo movement, the climate crisis and the growing awareness of the problem of income inequality. There has also been a growing awareness that issues of diversity and inclusion are not just factors for the (CSR):  corporate social responsibility. It has become necessary to realign the basic principles of big companies around new sets of values which stress more than just the obligations they have to their shareholders. Last Year, a DC-based industry group, the members of which are CEOs of some of the biggest companies in the US stated that their aim was now to give their employees and customers priority over shareholders and made a commitment to promote diversity and inclusion. Employees working in large companies, like Amazon, are also making their voices heard, and not just about things that…

The Rising Tide of Metrology Markets             According to Market Watch analytics the global industrial metrology market was valued at $9.08 billion in 2017 and is projected to reach 14.41 billion by 2025. This explosive growth is attributed to a number of factors that will be explored in this article. Beyond looking at the hard facts of objective growth, the subject that perhaps is even more important is that of the conceptual strengths of metrology, and more specifically, the symbiotic relationship of these strengths and the adjacent industry of Big Data. Where Did Metrology Come From?             When an individual hears the word metrology they might be able to recognize the roots of the word in ancient greek. The history of the word as we use it today originates from the Greek roots ‘metron,’ which means measurement and ‘logos,’ which means logic. From combining these words we can understand the core tenants of metrology, that is, the logic of measurement. Modern applications include any variety of science which attempts to measure an object, whether it be real or conceptual. Perhaps the most important application, however, is metrology’s endeavor to quantify inaccuracies in measurement–both theoretical and actual–in order to increase productivity…

Augmented reality is not a well-known concept as virtual reality. This technology has an incredible variety of exciting applications. Yet, most significant commercial projects didn’t see as much success as expected. These attempts showed that augmented reality is not refined enough to push it into the masses. However, niche application in various science fields has been and still is an option for investors and users. Having an interactive reference superimposed on the real-world layer is a useful tool. It can be used in fields like biology and engineering, among others. This will undoubtedly help students grasp the subject better. Simultaneously, it is a great way to assist professionals in their daily routines. The niche nature of the tasks will make it easier to develop the software and hardware. This is relevant for minimizing the risk of mishaps caused by unexpected occasions. This is precisely why science is currently the main playing field for AR innovators. Once the fundamentals are nailed down, it will be much easier to pursue commercial fields. Although there have been some successful attempts of that already. Below you will find the top three ways of AR application in education. And here are some useful assignment writing…

Metal fabrication is a service that’s needed in a large variety of industries. The automotive, shipbuilding, aerospace, steel-electronics, and medical industry all rely on fabricated metal parts to deliver their own services. Without those supplies, each of the industries would have to make dramatic changes to their processes and business plans. Metal fabrication is a somewhat complicated process as well, taking raw materials and transforming them into usable parts via the use of different machinery. And to entirely do the job, a fabrication shop will need a myriad of different machines to serve different purposes. These shops take in raw materials, usually sheet metal, tubes or rods, and have the capability to cut, bend, punch, stamp, machine, and weld the material to produce any metal piece required which can then be assembled into the final product. Here is a list of machines that can be found in a fabrication shop which transforms the raw material into the product intended. Laser Machine Lasers are being used in a myriad of industries these days due to their pinpoint accuracy. They’re a vital asset for these industries which have very little room for error. It works by programming the CNC (Computer Numerical Control)…
