Depending on the particular product, process and plant, the OCS will need to communicate to an extremely wide variety of devices. Experience in the 1990s suggests that these will include traditional PLC systems, intelligent instrumentation and other control systems (e.g., barcode readers, barcode printers, weigh and dispense systems, etc.). 

With double tools, the line can produce two parts every 22 s. Dieffenbacher reports the line is designed to operate on cycles as short as 20 sec. A single supervisory computer oversees the entire process. A barcode printer records critical process data for each molding cycle on each part. (Contact Tel 519-979-6937, www.diefFenbacher.com)... 

As all materials are tracked by specific barcodes, barcode printers are used quite often. 

The handheld devices were to access the e-SCM system using a variety oftelnet emulation terminal software. Two models of handheld devices were selected. There were some ineompatibility issues with one model. Although emulation terminal software that used telnet protocol was installed in this model, it could not display Chinese characters. It was found out that incompatible character sets between the host system and the emulation terminal software was causing the problem. Compatible Chinese character set was reinstalled in the emulation terminal to resolve the problem. Also some information could not be displayed in one whole screen and some characters even disappeared. This was due to the small display screen and limited range of possible adjustment for character size. In order to address this issue, display information was simplified and the information at the host system side was adjusted aceording to the size of display of the handheld devices. The barcode printers also had issues with Chinese charaeters. Initially the printers were not able to print the Chinese characters. Compatible characters were reinstalled to eliminate the problem. 

During implementation of the e-SCM system, Valvex had to deal with problems and/or issues related to design of appropriate interfaces between the two systems, data management, handling of Chinese characters in handheld devices and barcode printers, computer network capacity, and handheld device selection. Among these challenges, some were distinct for a Chinese...

There is a plethora of different interfaces available to communicate between different control systems and devices, such as barcode readers and printers, PLCs and so on. In the past, these have required a great deal of configuration, even when the interface was based on a fairly universal standard. This is because interpretation and representation of the data need to be coordinated at both ends of the link, and the description of the data was rarely contained in the information exchanged. 

A radiopharmacy has dedicated equipment for synthesis, preparation and quality control of radiopharmaceuticals. The workbench for the safe and aseptic preparation of radiopharmaceuticals is often a sufficiently lead shielded radiopharmacy safety cabinet with downflow HEPA filtered laminar air providing a GMP class A working zone. The exhaust air is filtrated and expelled outside the radiopharmacy to the roof on top of the building. The cabinet has built-in radiation protection by installed lead plates in the walls and in the working field, a horizontally movable lead containing glass window, lead shielded instruments for radiation measurement and waste containment and special equipment for automatic preparation and dispensing such as a barcode seamier, printer, screen and mouse pad. 

Much of the technology we use daily is based on optics and photonics, thus on light and its interaction with matter. CD, DVD, and Blue Ray players and recorders, barcode scanners, digital cameras, liquid crystal displays, fiber optics communication, lasers, household and street lightning, car lights, paints, dyes, inks, laser printers are a few of many more examples. In each of these applications, many years of research and development were spent. A significant portion of that was optical characterization.
