New Open Source student information system software
7 Media Web solutions, LLC has started their revolution by creating a crowdfund campaign for their first open source project called eduTrac. eduTrac is an open source SIS/ERP that helps educational institutions manage Faculty, staff, students, courses, course sections, as well as other features found in your typical educational student system. However, 7 Media branding eduTrac as being unique among the predecessors proprietary.
Unlike other proprietary systems, 7 Media States that eduTrac is different for four reasons:
One, most of the big name SIS/ERPS out there is closed source and is under a strict commercial license. Not so with eduTrac. It is open source, so that the community can get involved and make it even better.
Two, most of these proprietary systems must be adapted to fit an institution's way of doing things. Which means that if the core code has changed, upgrade can be a pain, and even a nightmare. eduTrac will have an extension system that will make it possible for programmers to write code that can hook into the Edutrac's functions without having to modify or hack the core functionality. Now, there may be some small adjustments needed here and there, but it is the hope that these adjustments will eventually go into the next version, which makes it easier to upgrade to new versions without fear of breakage.
Three, with eduTrac, institutions can install it on their servers and use their own database, or they have the option to use Edutrac's secure database data warehouse, which is hosted in the cloud for scalability.
And four, eduTrac comes with a SQL Terminal. It is a secure interface to data stored in the database, which will allow users (with appropriate permissions) to create ad hoc reports on the fly. This is unique, because they do not have to use some sort of Query Builder, but instead, the user will retrieve exactly what he or she needs because of the relational data, and the user will become proficient with SQL syntax (training available).
This is what 7 Media coined, "EduTrac difference." 7 Media pushing for eduTrac to stand out and become the most coveted after student information system in the world. The fact that it is open source gives it a chance to become just that with hopes of a strong community contributes to its core. In addition, opens the door to the eduTrac internationalization function to be translated into other languages.

System insights vimana is Big Data Manufacturing Software
In a recent issue of AutomationMedia.com, System insight solution was featured in an article authored by manufacturing journalist TR Cutler, entitled, "moving beyond the OEE limitations arrive at overall production efficiency." According to Cutler, has "For the last five years, manufacturing managers and supervisors adopted lean manufacturing principles, it removes waste and still seen overall production efficiency elude them. monitoring and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) solutions in store extracted small value, because most" OEE surveillance "technology uses tools that generate data, but no, that helps them to make sense of it.
OEE is an efficient parameter in order to give a general sense of how effective manufacturing equipment performs; It is not particularly helpful in improving shopfloor productivity. " Vimana is a next generation software platform with real-time pattern matching and historic machine learning abilities, which makes sense of data from multiple sources using implicite Via standard. Manufacturers use these data in order to help users understand the possibilities for improving productivity. This information is presented in the form of dashboards, real-time measurements, alerts and contextual reports.
William Sobel, CEO of System insight is passionate, noting that "vimana delivers real and measurable value within weeks of installation by allowing producers to make decisions and understand why machines do what they do and not just what they do." An important capability of the vimana is auto-classification of downtime in machine tools and manufacturing units. Vimana map patterns Via data sources in device including why the device is down. Vimana can study real-time data from the device leads up to a downtime; It will detect that the device is down due to a broken tool, or the device is down for the operator to modify the program to change a shift.
The possibilities in vimana delivered to manufacture the customer using a customer value framework (CVF) model. Based on extensive user feedback, developed System insights for a engagement model unique to the manufacturing industry to ensure that each producer extracting maximum value from vimana's capabilities. Vimana used first define a base line of the plant's productivity and unit utilization. After this initial process, vimana used to identify opportunities for improvement, and that the improvements are implemented, effectiveness is measured by means of the vimana.
