The LOBO System is a versatile work platform product that combines the flexibility and strength of traditional scaffolding with the simplicity and mobility of tower systems.
The unique and patented hand adjustable clamp, when combined with the tube, allows the technician or engineer to create a work platform, of any shape or size.
The LOBO System is made from modular steel pieces, easy to transport easy to assemble and yet incredibly strong.
This means out sourced scaffolding costs can be substantially reduced, as your own maintenance teams can assemble it.
The system is used by maintenance engineers and cleaning personnel.
This Presentation provide the understanding about importance of following standards and comply with regulatory requirements. This PPT Prepared to provide Awareness Training on Quality Management System as per ISO 17025:2017 with case studies and Questionnaires

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

5. The internet of antibodies
• Historically, laboratory reagents were sold from paper catalogues
– Limited quantity and timeliness of information , minimal customer interaction
• The internet meant product information could be hosted online
• Potential for huge quantities of relevant, continually updated information
• This information is open source and unique to Abcam products
• Dynamic relationship created with online community of scientists
• Products manufactured in-house or sourced from third parties and branded Abcam

6. The information flywheel
• The quicker product information is
added, the faster sales grow
• More sales lead to an increased rate of
information addition
• This leads to improved sales and better
pricing
• Ultimately this makes the business highly
defensible
