Infineta Systems Attracts $15 Million Series B Funding to Accelerate Traffic Across Hyper-Scale Wide Area Networks

24 Million Industrial Wireless Sensing Points in 2016, Says ON World

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) June 21, 2012

An erratic global economy did not prevent the industrial Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) market from doubling over the past two years, according to a recently published report by ON World, a global technology research firm. Early adopters have demonstrated that WSN is secure, reliable and can be targeted at new monitoring and control solutions that were previously deemed too expensive or located in prohibitively difficult environments. Networks are expanding and ON World identified several deployments with over 3,000 WSN nodes.

The migration to standards based wireless mesh systems in the process automation space has replaced proprietary systems faster than what our 2010 survey indicated, says Mareca Hatler, ON Worlds research director. However, competition for WSN protocols continues to be intense and point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless systems are experiencing high growth rates in key verticals such as oil and gas.

For the 2012 industrial Wireless Sensor Network report, ON World collaborated with the International Society of Automation (ISA), HART Communication Foundation (HCF) and the Wireless Industrial Networking Alliance (WINA) to conduct a survey on WSN with 216 industrial automation professionals. ON World also interviewed 55+ individuals with leading industrial automation vendors, suppliers and industry groups.

In ON World’s survey, 70% of the end users are planning WSN or additional WSN deployments within the next 18 months. The survey also found that approximately an equal number of respondents prefer WirelessHART or a hybrid strategy that includes WirelessHART and ISA100.11a.

The standards migration is changing the industrial WSN landscape. This is demonstrated by Linears acquisition of Dust Networks and a growing number of new entrants such as AwiaTech, E-Senza and Softing that are focused on open platforms and lowering development costs. Industrial wireless sensing and control opportunities are also growing for non-mesh 802.15.4, WiFi, Bluetooth/802.15.1 and Ultra Wideband.

Installed wireless industrial field devices will increase by 553% between 2011 and 2016 when there will be 24 million wireless-enabled sensors and actuators, or sensing points, deployed worldwide. At this time, 39% will be used for new applications that are only feasible with wireless sensing.

ON Worlds recently published report, Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks, covers the global market for industrial Wireless Sensor Networking with 5-year forecasts by geography, landscape (e.g. process, vertical industries, discrete/factory automation), target market (e.g. oil & gas, refining/petrochemicals, chemicals, food & beverage, etc.), application and technology. WSN protocols covered include 802.15.4 (mesh and non-mesh), WiFi and other wireless technologies including point-to-point/point-to-multipoint systems. The report also provides the key findings from the recently completed survey as well as an extensive technology evaluation and competitive analysis of 85 companies in five product segments.

24 Million Industrial Wireless Sensing Points in 2016, Says ON World

Global Patch and Remediation Software Market to Reach US$736 Million by 2018, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

San Jose, California (PRWEB) July 10, 2012

Follow us on LinkedIn Speed, security, and accuracy in receiving, storing, and sending information are key requirements for success in business today. In case, information systems become compromised or fail owing to a security breach, the loss in money, reputation, and time could prove disastrous. The overwhelming interaction and collaboration of confidential and personal information through web applications aggravates the threat to security from information leakage. Additionally, increase in identification of vulnerabilities by hackers who write codes to exploit such vulnerabilities results in a need to have an effective patch application procedure for safeguarding the Information Technology (IT) network. Subsequently, organizations are proactively seeking solutions for mitigating risks; managing, establishing as well as auditing security policy; consolidating risk management information; and ultimately offering some security from software vulnerabilities. The increase in the number of different viruses resulted in a similar increase in the number of patches for addressing the vulnerabilities that are exploited by such viruses.

New and more complex threats have been emerging over the years. Major forms of breaching security include utilization of weaknesses that exist in operating systems and applications; unauthorized access to networks and systems in an enterprise; identity fraud; and purloining and sabotage by insiders. Approaches to these crimes is fast evolving in terms of sophistication, pressing the need for being up-to-date with security measures. The time taken between the discovery of a vulnerability and launch of exploits continues to shrink, which poses a tremendous challenge to corporations to circumvent such issues before an exploitation takes place. Also, more than 90% of attacks are carried out on security flaws already known, making it more meaningful for corporations to deploy existing security patches. Security patches remain the foremost method of fixing software security vulnerabilities. Leading software vendors launch security patches soon after a vulnerability is detected and disclosed.

The year 2009 was a lackluster year for products used in security and vulnerability management, as a result of the global economic downturn that surfaced in late 2008. The affect of the recession was reflected in the slowdown in revenue growth witnessed during the year 2009. Spending did not topple completely as organizations continued their spending on security solutions as a means to address increasing threats to security and to meet regulatory requirements. Slowdown was apparent even in the patch software market during the period. Patch management products are widely used in various end-use sectors that depend primarily on IT for data and information management. Top of the list is the financial sector. As it deals with sensitive transactions and data, the financial end-use market has been an early adopter of security technologies. Growth in this sector over the years has been amply supported by various regulations. Similar to the finance sector, growth in demand for patch management products in the government sector is being driven by certain regulations. Meanwhile, the healthcare sector is expected to emerge as one of the fastest growing sectors in the adoption of patch management products.

Thousands of vulnerabilities to software are being reported by leading software vendors each year. As a result, the job of eliminating all such threats at the end-user system level becomes enormously difficult. Deployment of these numerous patches consumes substantial time and resources. Consequently, continuing innovations in security software and automation of patch deployment become crucial for organizations to tackle this menace. Despite the relative ease that it provides to the IT department in terms of searching for new updates or patches and deploying the same, not all corporations embrace full automation of patch management. Several organizations employ applications that may not have been tested by a patch maker. This makes it necessary for IT team in any organization to test these patches extensively in order to eliminate chances of unanticipated dysfunctions of any of its systems or applications. Besides, every operating environment is different which makes it difficult for a standard automated solution to cater to individual needs, and hence many engineers do not trust in the benefits of automation. In such cases, the IT team in an organization may intend to step into the process of assessment and remediation process and make explicit decisions before further automation is allowed. Such a process can be termed as controlled automation, which may emerge as a more dependable solution in the years ahead.

The US represents the largest regional market worldwide, as stated by the new market research report on Patch and Remediation Software. However, growth in the global Patch and Remediation Software market is projected to be driven by the Asia-Pacific market, which is projected to post a compounded annual growth of 7.1% during the analysis period.

Major players profiled in the report include CA Technologies, Inc., EMC Corporation, International Business Machines Corp., LANDesk Software, Inc., LogMeIn, Inc., Lumension Security, Inc., McAfee, Inc., Microsoft Corporation, Numara Software, Inc., Shavlik Technologies, LLC., among others.

The research report titled Patch and Remediation Software: A Global Strategic Business Report announced by Global Industry Analysts, Inc., provides comprehensive market overview, trends & issues, impact of recession on the industry, latest statistics on vulnerabilities and security bulletins, recent industry activity and profiles of market players worldwide. Analysis and overview is provided for the years 2010 through 2018, for major geographic markets, such as US, Canada, Japan, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Rest of World. Market analytics are provided in terms of US$ Million. The study also provides historic data for an insight into market evolution over the period 2004 through 2009.

Global Patch and Remediation Software Market to Reach US$736 Million by 2018, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

Pacific Newspaper Group gets Gold with up to 60 Million pages per night

Vancouver, BC, Canada (PRWEB) August 15, 2012

Pacific Newspaper Group can print 160 page broadsheet products directly from their presses without pre-printing and is on of a very limited number of newspaper printing facilities practicing this amazing feat.

To accomplish their goals, the Maintenance and Planning crews rely heavily on the Computerized Maintenance Management System: Web Work (http://www.tero.ca).

– The Burden of Maintenance –

With no room for error, the reliability of all production equipment is paramount and this heavy burden lies squarely on the maintenance department. For the maintenance crew at Pacific Newspaper Group this is nothing new. Since 1898 when The Province daily was first produced and in 1912 when The Vancouver Sun daily was added, the maintenance crew has been preparing the Newspaper Groups assets for the race.

The 28 man maintenance crew ensures the pre-press, pressroom and post press equipment is operating at peak efficiency, each day, to achieve their overall objective of reducing production costs and ensuring 100% reliability.

Our maintenance team is one of the most experienced group of people I have had the pleasure to work with. We are all focussed on our common goal and rely on each other as members of a cohesive team, said Mr. Payam Farahbakhsh, Engineering Manager.

The maintenance crew at Pacific Newspaper Group is a highly trained team that performs almost all maintenance and repair functions internally throughout the facility. There is little reliance on outsourced repair companies which has tremendous benefits. The cost of ownership of equipment is significantly reduced and there is literally no waiting for services.

As a result of using our own internal resources for equipment repair we found that the group has a greater sense of ownership of the equipment and a tremendous amount of pride in our abilities to perform under pressure, adds Payam Farahbakhsh.

– Speed, Precision & Reliability –

For a typical Friday publication, with two big newspapers, the Pre-press department uses approximately 950 printing plates and 214 non-printing plates. Electronic files, which are used to create accurate aluminum plates are received from remote offices via 2 dedicated fibre optic cables. As part of the environmental initiatives at Pacific Newspaper Group, all aluminum is recycled.

Pacific Newspaper Group utilizes 4 MAN Roland Colorman S presses, built in Augsburg Germany, to accomplish the daunting task of producing some 350,000 copies of newspaper nightly. The presses are capable of producing 160 page broadsheet newspaper, including 64 pages of full process color for advertisements or photos and another 64 pages with spot or highlight colors.

Seven FMC automated guided vehicles (AGVs) deliver rolls of newsprint to the real-stands beneath each press and are controlled by a computer and guide wires in the floor. Every night up to 160 rolls may be used. The AuroSys roll handling system has two roll-stripping stations and two roll-preparation stations that ready the newsprint rolls for automatic pasting on the reel-stands.

An automated webbing-up device threads each web of newsprint into each press, all the way from the roll on the reel-stand up to the folder formers.

Altogether, the facility utilizes 18 printing towers, with a total of 124 printing couples. In addition, Pacific Newspaper Group operates 4 rotary drum folders (one per press) to achieve its printing goals and deadlines. The facility also utilizes rotary drum folders, which allow for the production of high pagination newspaper at elevated speeds. The Bek ink delivery system delivers as much as 1,000kg of black ink and 900kg of color ink each production night.

Speed and precision of intricately woven machinery work at amazing speeds each night ensuring morning readers have their papers by dawn. The pace is unrelenting and for three hours each and every night Pacific Newspaper Group is running at lightening speeds to the finish line thanks to the tireless efforts of the maintenance crew.

– A Proactive Approach –

With its 7 day a week operation and very limited non-printing days (no more than a total of 5-6 non-consecutive days, such as Christmas, etc.) and with little redundancy, Pacific Newspaper Group relies heavily on their Web Work CMMS(by Tero www ter.ca) and the reporting features allowing them to plan and execute a stringent maintenance schedule. At the present about 70% of their work is planned one week or more in advance, about 20% is planned within 1 to 5 days, and these are classified as predictive maintenance. Less than 10% of their work is reactive. However, that is in pure statistical terms and not every reactive or breakdown qualifies as a critical one. Less than 1% of their work qualifies as critical breakdowns, which may cause operational downtime.

The Web Work CMMS, first implemented in 2001, maintains the entire enterprise of Assets, Spare Parts Inventory, Preventive Maintenance Schedules and a complete Procedure Library.

The Web Work CMMS advanced reporting system is a critical component to the Newspaper Groups operation because it provides real-time & historical information to department managers for key decision making. In 2009, Web Work was up-graded to include Dashboard Reporting and Key Performance Indictors (KPIs) so the maintenance team could directly monitor and control performance and improve overall equipment effectiveness.

The maintenance staff, consisting of 14 Electricians and 14 Machinist/Millwrights, are all highly trained tradesmen performing over 90% of work throughout the plant. Pacific Newspaper Group relies on internal labour for maintenance and project work instead of contract labour and all work is recorded in the Web Work CMMS. The maintenance crew work on 2 shifts with 8 staff on nights and 20 on days. The majority of maintenance work is performed during the day shift to ensure the presses and other assets are ready for the night run.

The Web Work CMMS is installed locally and is available throughout the entire plant via any terminal or mobile device to maintenance crew with proper security access thanks to its inherent web based architecture. Maintenance staff regularly access the Web Work system to review equipment history, run quick reports or review spare parts information before performing repairs.

When Pacific Newspaper Group embarks on an upgrade project they have to consider that each and every night production must continue. Planning, scheduling, construction and commissioning are all subject to the daily production of the Newspaper Groups products. Web Work is relied upon to ensure that manpower and materials are properly planned and scheduled.

– Quality & Waste Reduction –

The maintenance crew at Pacific Newspaper Group embraces their key role in production and perform the majority of daily preventative and routine maintenance in-house. Their Web Work system, provides critical information regarding their assets, inventory and repair history to complete each task efficiently.

We are truly a Reliability Centered Maintenance operation. The maintenance department is responsible for the availability of our presses any time they are called upon. This is achieved by closely monitoring the needs of operations, so that neither quality nor maintenance costs are compromised. The maintenance department works closely with operations, to meet other objectives, such as quality requirements, waste prevention, and more, said Payam Farahbakhsh.

The management team has developed its own RCM program , based on production needs and available labour resources.

Communication between operations, production and maintenance is critical to the success of
