New Water Technology On Tap

Legislation introduced this week is aimed to make Ontario a leader in water technology, the province’s environment minister says.

Kingston and the Islands MPP John Gerretsen on Tuesday unveiled the Water Opportunities and Water Conservation Act, which is meant to promote water conservation as well as the province’s emerging technology expertise.

If passed, the legislation would see the creation of what would be called the Water Technology Acceleration Partnership, a “technology hub” bringing together industry, academics and government to streamline the sale of water-centred technologies.

With an expected 40% shortage of drinking water in the next 20 years, Gerretsen said it is an industry brimming with potential.

“We think there’s a great opportunity there to cluster some of these water-technology companies that already exist, marry it with new, innovative ideas, and to become, in effect, a world leader in providing … potable drinking water.”

By turning the creation of clean water into a business opportunity for Ontario companies, Gerretsen hopes the province will become recognized for water technology the same way California’s Silicon Valley is recognized for computer technology.

Ontario’s water technology companies employ more than 22,000 people, and many of their products are already being used around the world, Gerretsen said.

According to government-provided statistics, water and waste -water technology generates $1.8 billion in sales, making it the largest sub-sector in Ontario’s environment industry.

The act, Gerretsen insisted, is not about the “bulk exporting” of water.

“It’s a great opportunity for us to export (our) water know-how … not our water.”

Ontario’s water-centred technologies were spawned from the government’s attempt to clean up the Great Lakes about 20 or 30 years ago, Gerretsen said. He figures it is the proximity to those same Great Lakes that’s to blame for Ontarians using 260 litres of water each day, about twice as much as the average European.

Ontarians could do more to conserve water, Gerretsen said, even if it’s something as simple as using a rain barrel.

“There’s absolutely no reason to use clean, drinkable water to water our flowers,” Gerretsen used as an example.

The bill also lays out water-efficiency standards for fixtures such as faucets and shower heads, similar to the existing EnerGuide system for household appliances. If the new products meet those standards, they can bear a label detailing their energy efficiency.

The proposed legislation is also intended to help municipalities identify problems with existing infrastructures.

“About a third of municipal water is being lost to leaks, etc.,” he said, “so if you come for (provincial) funding, you have to show you have a water sustain-ability plan in place to make sure the water that you’ve got within your system is being used as efficiently as possible.”

The proposed act was introduced a decade after the Walkerton tragedy, in which seven people died and 2,500 fell ill after the town’s water became contaminated with E. coli bacteria.

People who buy retail prescription drugs, invest funds, or participate in auctions rarely have complete information about the product they are buying. Often the only auction information participants have is the number of bidders, observed bids, and product characteristics. If data from an auction, for instance, is a function of bidder behavior, then external survey data may help in testing hypotheses about bidding behavior.

Researchers often avoid using surveys because they consume time and effort, but Yin presents a survey design technique and econometric tool to deal with a general population of survey respondents. Her application tested eBay online auctions selling personal computers. Key concepts include:

* Survey data may be a good complement for market data, especially for auctions, as a measure of uncertainty or different preferences.

* Survey data may be more valuable than other methods of evaluation because it exploits the human ability to assess complex sets of information.

* A survey may be implemented more quickly with a larger number of respondents, even if they are inexperienced, than with a smaller number of experienced respondents, by correcting for survey bias. This paper shows how surveys can be used to generate a measure of the amount of information and/or heterogeneity of preferences within a market.

This measure can be employed as a regressor in empirical work where variance in the dependent variable (e.g., auction prices, retail price dispersion, or investment choices in stocks, R&D, or education) might be explained by uncertainty about the value of the item being sold or the returns to investment choice and/or heterogeneous preferences in the market. The effects of incomplete information and heterogeneous preferences are usually relegated to the error term, which a) confounds these effects with other drivers of the error term and b) could lead to heteroskedasticity at best or omitted variable bias at worst. Furthermore, by specifically modeling the effect of this uncertainty or dispersed taste, one can estimate policy implications such as the effect of publicly introducing information into the market or selecting the pool of agents to change the distribution of preferences.

I demonstrate the validity and usefulness of my survey-based procedure by using it to measure the mean and dispersion of private information signals in eBay online auctions for personal computers. I exploit a mixture of respondents with and without experience on eBay. The use of inexperienced respondents permits the survey to be implemented more quickly and with a larger number of respondents than if it were restricted to experienced respondents. The use of experienced respondents allows me to correct for potential bias from using more noisy, inexperienced responses.

Bearing demand in theWorld(including plain bearings) is projected to expand 3.0 percent per year through 2013 to $10.6 billion. The primary factors supporting advances will be a rebound in motor vehicle production levels and continued, albeit moderating, growth in aerospace equipment and machinery shipments. In addition, as the wind energy market continues to grow, suppliers will benefit from sales of high-value, large diameter wind turbine bearings. Market gains will be dampened by a deceleration in overall durable goods output asWorldcompanies continue to move manufacturing operations to offshore areas where labor costs are lower. Significant increases in average bearing life, attributable to the use of improved product designs, betterquality materials and better lubricants, will also restrain growth in aftermarket sales. However, a shift in the product mix toward more expensive, better performing products will provide a counterbalance, supported in part by high energy prices that will make highly efficient bearings a more attractive investment.

Improved quaiity, performance to boost shipments
Shipments of bearings from Worldplants are expected to expand 2.8 percent annually through 2013 to $10.0 billion, approximating domestic demand increases. Industry output will be stimulated by growth in several key domestic bearingusing industries and by rising demand in a number of export markets. Further investment inWorldbearing plants by foreign firms will contribute to production gains as well.Worldbearing manufacturers’ ongoing efforts to improve the quality and performance of their products, and to increase the efficiency of their operations, will also help spur output growth, as will a trend from selling simple components to selling more advanced, higher value added systems that incorporate bearings and associated components. However, foreign suppliers are also improving the quality of their goods, and World-based bearing companies are expected to make additional investments in overseas manufacturing facilities, limiting advances in domestic industry production.

Roller bearings to post strongest market gains
The strongest market gains through 2013 will be posted by roller bearings, benefitting from renewed strength inWorldproduction of motor vehicles and from sales of advanced, high-value products for applications such as wind turbines and heavy machinery. Demand for mounted bearings and bearing parts will also outperform bearing demand overall. Sales of bearing parts will be driven by increases in the number of bearingcontaining products (aircraft, automobiles, industrial equipment, etc.) in use and by demand for the improved performance associated with more advanced parts. Mounted bearing demand increases will be spurred by original equipment manufacturers’ (OEM) desire to simplify their production process and reduce future maintenance requirements.

What Are The Issues Currently Affecting Your Call Centre?
They could be:
Handling increased numbers of calls
Staff retention.
Customer retention   
Call resolution

The impact of a new automated phone system
Whether to offshore your operations abroad

Whatever sector you are in many of the issues facing call centres remain the same and ultimately as research from the States has recently confirmed, consumers are much less likely to buy a company’s products if they have a poor experience when calling that company’s call centre for help.

This is where Link Information Technology Research can help.

Link Information Technology have extensive experience of researching the service provided by call centres.  Between us we have researched the service provided by call centres for amongst others:
From our experience we have come up with the following tips for conducting research in this sector:
Speed is of the essence - it is important to interview customers as soon as possible after they have called you - how easy is it for you to remember in detail a conversation you had a few weeks ago, unless the service you received was exceptionally good or poor?Make sure your research consultants understand your business and how you operate your call centre - invite them in for a few hours to meet the staff and listen to a few calls. It makes for a better piece of research and more fitting recommendations.   

Measure expectations as well as customers perceptions of the service they have received. This is where a trade off technique such as SIMALTO (Simultaneous Multi Attribute Level Trade Off) works so well. By using verbal scales such as the one illustrated below you can see that although your customers perceive your staff to be friendly and polite, they want to be treated in a way that makes them believe you value their custom.

Service attribute.
Attitude of staff:   

They were rude and couldn’t wait to get me off the phone
They treated me as a number not as a person
They were friendly and polite
They treated me like a valued customer   

Measure customer priorities - does it matter that it took 2 minutes to get through to an operator if they managed to resolve your query there and then?Ask your consultant if they offer a fax or email alert system - if a customer being interviewed is obviously very dissatisfied with the service they have recently received from you, arrange for the research company to send their details back to you. You can then arrange for a manager to call them. It may save you losing a valued customer in the long run.

Researching your customers may only be tackling one side of the story. It often pays to conduct staff research as well. You could well uncover a pressing staff training eed, a problem with staff motivation which is affecting the tone of the calls or a number of other issues which would not come to light if you only spoke to customers. Conduct some qualitative research - it may be that customers have a problem with a particular part of your IVR system or music they have to listen to which would not surface with quantitative research.

Food and beverage processes subject bearings to the harshest conditions, including high-pressure washdowns, frequent contact with acids, cooking fats and other chemicals, moisture saturation, extreme temperatures and antibacterial cleansing solutions. These vital components must not only withstand these extreme conditions but resist peeling, chipping, flaking and corrosion.

How can you maximize bearing life so that downtime is less costly, clean-ups are quicker and maintenance is easier? There are four key factors to keep in mind when selecting and maintaining bearings for the food industry:

PROPER LUBRICATION

Using the correct lubrication in the correct quantity can extend bearing life.Lubricants used in the food industry are classified asFDA/USDA H1 or H2 approved. Over lubricating or under lubricating bearings can increase friction and cause bearing failure. It is necessary to identify the right amount of lubrication for the particular environment. Additionally, there are a wide variety of greases available and not all greases are compatible. Consult NSK Engineering to determine the correct type and amount of lubrication to maximize bearing performance and lifespan in your work environment.

BEARING TYPE AND STYLE

Selecting the correct bearing type and style makes all the difference to a bearings lifespan. Stainless steel bearings provide corrosion resistance in wet environments.

CORRECT HOUSING FOR THE APPLICATION

For food applications, look for non-toxic, thermo-plastic reinforced with stainless steel. The advantage of these is that their smooth finish helps prevent bacteria from lodging in gaps or cracks. They are also chemical resistant for less chipping or flaking during washdowns with detergents. Look for a solid base to prevent water and contamination from collecting to inhibit bacterial growth.

SEALS AND END COVERS

Other components that can help prolong bearing life include:

Seals - these provide extra protection for bearing lubrication while preventing contaminant entry.

End covers for housed units - food grade units are made of thermo-plastic and non-food grade bearings are made of pressed steel. End covers solve issues related to exposed shaft ends, such as Workplace Health and Safety concerns as well as possible contamination.

ARB Bearings Limited  specializes in precision machine technology, refined through years of bearing manufacturing. Our extensive list of products includes high temperature bearings, mounted units complete with end covers designed to easily clip on without requiring special housings and more.
