PROBLEM SOLVER SPOTLIGHT
Motorola's Two-Way Communication Help Sears Keep Deliveries Moving As part of its continuing goal to provide next day delivery on large home and garden items, Sears opened its Jacksonville, Florida direct distribution center in May of 2008. With seven day shipping, consistent, reliable communications was critical in order to coordinate the large volume of products that went through receiving and shipping on a daily basis. MOTOTRBO digital radios are used to enable the entire warehouse to talk radio to radio without a repeater; the crisp audio enables conversation even in the noisy environment; and the long lasting batteries last through multiple shifts for increased productivity.

PLC-Based Position Controllers
SCHAUMBURG, IL: New Position Controllers from Omron Electronics LLC use a high-speed motion network to provide high precision control of 2, 4 and 16 axes to meet the growing need for fast throughput with reduced waste. The position controllers pair efficiently with Omron's GN-Series servo drives and G-Series motors, and are compatible with a range of programmable controller platforms for a scalable solution. Designed for Omron's CJ and CS PLC platforms, the CJ position controllers can be paired with the micro CP1H controller for 2- and 4-axis standalone applications on a small machine or combined with CJ1, CJ2 or CS1 controllers for high-speed, high I/O count applications used on a full production line. The motion network reduces the total cost of ownership by simplifying operation, reducing wiring, offering centralized setup and single point access monitoring, and lowering the upfront hardware and software costs. The position controllers store parameters in the module, not the CPU, to ensure fast network access without affecting the scan cycle and maintaining high throughput. --- Omron Electronics LLC

    INDUSTRY TRENDS
    Work & Stress: Is It Under Control?

    Typically, an employee's greatest source of stress is on the job. Stress is a physical or mental response to the pressures of an event or factors of living in general. Though generally regarded as negative, stress can be either a positive or negative experience. This can be a good thing because it provides the energy and mental agility to get the job done.

    If stress goes on for prolonged periods, however, the body can have adverse reactions. Common medical conditions include insomnia, fatigue, high blood pressure, and digestive disorders, such as ulcers. Common psychological conditions include impatience and worry; lack of self-confidence; anger, frustration, and irritability; and violence, alcohol, and drug abuse. To compound matters, stress can lead to problems on the job:

    • Lost priorities — Goals are often lost when employees are under stress. They tend to spend hours working on small details, and feel as if they aren't getting enough done.
    • Rushing — When the workload is heavy and deadlines are looming, employees push themselves and may take shortcuts.
    • Competition — If employees don't believe that co-workers have the same goals, they won't cooperate, choosing to isolate themselves and begin doing other people's tasks. They believe that if they don't do it, the task won't get done. Co-workers may respond with hurt feelings, and eventually this attitude can affect the company's overall goals.
    • Obsession with quantity of work — Stress can bring on a preoccupation with quantity of work or "numbers." However, relying on numbers can cause problems because employees may assume that failure was a result of not working hard enough, or they may feel that their co-workers are not working hard enough.
    • Anger — If allowed to build up over time, stress can lead to outbursts of anger over frustration regarding the circumstances of a work situation.
