Group Technology (GT) is a manufacturing strategy that reduces costs by manufacturing similar parts together. It was proposed by Frederick Winslow Taylor and involves standardizing parts, rearranging machinery, and linking production to ordering levels. GT also involves classifying parts using symbols or barcodes for easier ordering and fewer errors. GT is a necessary tool for […]
Prototyping is a crucial stage in product design that involves creating models to identify defects, improve the design, and showcase to investors. There are three types of prototyping technology: additive, subtractive, and software-based. Additive technology adds material to create a model, while subtractive technology removes material from a block. Software prototyping is less expensive and […]
Migration in technology refers to changes in hardware, software, or storage, and can be done for various reasons. It can be managed by individuals or IT departments, and may require careful planning and following manufacturer recommendations. Network migration in organizations is a critical change that needs careful planning and timing. By itself, without context, the […]
Computer simulation technology includes software and hardware that can create simulations for various scenarios. Software can test products, while hardware like flight simulators can provide safe training environments. Emulators recreate different configurations without requiring actual hardware. Different types of computer simulation technology are usually based on software or hardware that can be used to create […]
Wastewater is water altered by human actions, including sewage and industrial pollution. Wastewater treatment technologies, such as aerobic treatment, microfiltration, denitrification, and ozone treatment, are used to purify water for reuse and human consumption. Wastewater refers to any water that has been altered or otherwise affected by human actions or functions. This includes sewage, rainwater […]
Recombinant DNA technology inserts foreign DNA into organisms for genetic study and improvement. Three methods are used: bacterial transformation, non-bacterial transformation, and phage injection. It is not about creating “unnatural” organisms, but obtaining information to improve human health. Recombinant DNA technology comprises a group of methods that insert foreign deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) into organisms, both […]
Intel’s Hyper-Threading Technology enables thread-level parallel operations on each processor, allowing multi-threaded software to run more efficiently. It can be combined with Turbo Boost Technology for even faster processing. Processors with Hyper-Threading Technology range from 2 to 16 threads and have 1 to 8 cores. The benefits include increased performance with demanding software, making it […]
Mechanical engineering technology uses natural forces to design, test, and manage mechanical processes. Engineers manipulate forces such as hydraulic, thermodynamic, electromagnetic, frictional, gravitational, and aerodynamic to solve challenges and create new devices. They develop processes and products to improve society, and new materials such as carbon fiber reinforced plastics are used to increase fuel efficiency. […]
Parallel processing splits large tasks into smaller subtasks processed concurrently. Symmetric multiprocessing and multicore processing are examples of single device parallel processing. Distributed computing, computer clustering, and massively parallel computers link multiple devices for parallel processing. Multiprocessors are common in scientific and business applications, while clusters and massively parallel computers are used for advanced problems. […]
Virtualization technology creates a separation between hardware and software, allowing for simulated computing resources. Server, desktop, storage, data, application, and network virtualization reduce costs and improve efficiency while providing security. Virtualization is a term used to describe a variety of computer technologies. Virtualization technology enhances and extends an organization’s computing resources by creating a separation […]
Telecommunications technology has been used since ancient times to communicate information over a distance. Modern breakthroughs include the telephone, radio, television, fax machine, and computer. To be considered telecommunication technology, it must have a transmitter, a medium, and a receiver. The telephone and broadcasting systems use electromagnetic waves, while computers are connected to local area […]
Process control technology monitors sensors and adjusts variables to ensure efficient operation. There are four types: single-loop, sequence controllers, distributed control systems, and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA). SCADA is the most complex, allowing for scheduling and monitoring of many sensors and variables. Process control is used extensively in factories and other automated environments […]
Becoming an expert in blood bank technology involves understanding responsibilities, collecting and processing blood, supervising others, and following standards. Educational programs last about one year, with clinical training. Certification is possible through an exam or having an accredited degree and previous experience. Skills required include critical thinking, active listening, troubleshooting, and communication. For people who […]
Physical evidence at a crime scene provides valuable clues. Evidence technology, such as cameras and fingerprint equipment, helps document and analyze evidence. Investigators look for hair, fibers, and tire marks, and use alternate light sources and fingerprint technology. Forensic laboratories use scientific evidence technology to test samples, including DNA analysis and material testing. Trained observation […]
A Bachelor of Technology degree offers specializations in technical communications, information systems, and business development. Graduates can find employment in emerging fields such as robotics and automation, health sciences, and information systems management. The degree can also be applied to business development and infrastructure development. Graduates can expect high starting salaries and demand in the […]
Open space technology conferences have no formal structure, keynote speakers, or set times. Participants propose activities and discussions, and the conference evolves organically. The “law of two feet” allows participants to move to another session if they are not learning or contributing. It is used to address complex issues urgently. Open space technology is an […]
