By the end of 2024, Renishaw also aims to have included new energy efficient cladding and replaced existing heating systems in the two existing production halls. Our journey has allowed us to learn how to control processes (and set limits on them), configure systems and understand what to do when something goes wrong. All that learning is baked into our intelligent process control software.” Transferring to Northumbrian Water in 1999, Jeff continued his career and has moved through a number of roles in wastewater teams, currently working in the misconnections team. In this role, he carries out surveys to help people ensure their plumbing is correctly connected to the sewers, playing an important role in protecting the environment. Over the last 50 years Renishaw has evolved from crafted manufacturing to technology-enabled precision machining at scale The game at Newlands was also notable for England analysts on the dressing room balcony using a coded letter and number system to pass tactical advice on to captain Eoin Morgan during the South Africa innings.

Manufacturers and end-users at the vanguard of this growth are not just looking to replace barcodes though. Instead, they are finding a huge array of innovative and exciting ways to leverage the many advantages of RFID technology – in turn creating additional value which more than outweighs any underlying cost difference between these two very similar, and yet very different, technologies. The idea, if not the technology, underpinning RFID is simple. While barcodes are an optical technology, RFID is electronic. An RFID tag consists of an electronic circuit which stores data, and an antenna which communicates the data via radio waves. A RFID reader interrogates the tags to obtain the information stored. When the reader broadcasts radio waves, all the tags within range will communicate. Software is required to control the reader and to collect and filter the information. In the late-1980s, BR was split up into dedicated business groups, with most 37s becoming part of Railfreight. This group was then further broken down into sectors for specific traffic flows and, in January 1989, No. 37350 found itself allocated to Cardiff Canton’s South Wales pool for Freight Petroleum and Chemicals, followed by a move to Immingham in October 1992 in the Trainload Petroleum pool. So, we have a very broad, medium to low volume manufacturing problem, which makes us quite different. And if we didn’t adopt technology around the methods we use to manufacture parts, I can’t begin to think what life would be like. It’s enabled us to grow.” Productive Process Pyramid

A careful reading of 50 Not Out and verification of facts would have helped avoid minor mistakes in the otherwise well-written book. For instance, Paruvu speaks of the famous Indian spin-quartet in the chapter Strategy and writes: "At about the same time in the 1970s, the Indian team used four spinners in tandem." In fact, BS Chandrasekhar, EAS Prasanna, S. Venkataraghavan and Bishan Bedi played together in only one Test against England in Edgbaston in 1967. And India lost.

Congratulations to all on a successful 50 th parkrun and in particular to those that make it happen from week to week. Reductions in the workforce associated with energy production, and state government cuts to traditional industries like timber harvesting and commercial fishing, have combined with the impacts of the drought, bushfires and agricultural industry changes, to reduce job opportunities in some parts of the region,” he said.

From Renishaw’s point of view, this has seen the introduction of an increased level of flexibility in machining processes and inspection to cope with this change in demand. Increased legislation and emissions targets have also created a need to continuously evolve new designs to make products more efficient. South Africa will be without pace bowler Kagiso Rabada because of the adductor strain that ruled him out of the final T20. We can experience significant shifts in volume at very short notice,” said Gareth. “So, standardisation and rationalisation of equipment is absolutely fundamental to our ability to meet the needs of the business and scale and adapt to changing scenarios.” Data use While they all work on this same broad principle, there is a range of different types of RFID system available. From students to CEOs, administrators to sportsmen, people from all walks of life will find inspiration in 50 Not Out! to be the very best they can be.

The female record is held by Harriette WOOLLEY who recorded a time of 19:37 on 22nd April 2023 (event number 44). Towards the end of the 1970s and into the early-’80s there was a declining need for steam-heat on passenger work as more and more locos and coaches were fitted with electric train heating. So No. 37119 lost its boiler and the water tank was replaced by an additional fuel tank in October 1982. The plan is to have the first building completed by the end of this year, with manufacturing assembly moving in soon after. The vision for the second building is around component manufacturing, giving the company further options to split processes where required and increase resilience. Future manufacturing talent Bob Harris has always built his own personal, melodic and memorable playlists for his radio shows and is loved and respected by his colleagues, world famous musicians and a loyal audience.To identify and control processes around the factory – before, during and after machining – Renishaw introduced its Productive Process Pyramid. This four-step journey begins with Process Foundation; prior to machining, control of variability and source of variation in the factory needs to be considered. This included organising the team, liaising with the council and other bodies who would be affected or involved with the event. During this time James was added as a second Event Director alongside Bel.

The barcode’s versatility, cheapness and convenience means that it is all but certain to endure for the for foreseeable future. The hype about RFID started from those very earliest retail pilots in the early 2000s. Those working in sectors already transformed by the barcode, with retailers to the fore, could immediately see the potential. Manufacturers such as IBM invested heavily in promoting and emphasising this potential, interoperability challenges were resolved the introduction of the GS1 EPC standard in 2004, and from there a great many pilot projects were launched. As metrology equipment has been rolled out on the shop floor, and integrated into automation, process control has become increasingly close knit. The data that results can be utilised to keep processes running and for validation. However, it can also provide visualisation into what’s going on in the factory. That trend continued for a few overs before a huge momentum swing in the 16th over as they hammered 84 off the final five overs. Perhaps a key to the success of the English Electric (EE) Type 3s, as they were first known, is that they were not a brand new design but drew on the experience of locomotives already in service. The EE 12CSVT engine was a de-rated (1,750hp) version of that used in a similar type of loco EE had built for use in East Africa. Internally, many of the components were based on those used in the company’s Type 4 (Class 40) then in production. And the Co-Co bogies were to become a company standard type, interchangeable with those used by the later Classes 55 and 50.

Methods of manufacturing products and inspection systems can no longer be fixed,” added Paul. “They both need a flexible approach if you want to scale, either from a volume or geographical perspective.”“Our business has become pretty volatile when compared to a few years ago,” Gareth continued. Above all, Bob retains a huge commitment to helping new musicians from Emmylou Harris and Tom Petty in the 70s through to Steve Earle, Lady A, Carrie Underwood and Kacey Musgraves in more recent years and today’s rising stars including The Shires, Ward Thomas, Kelsea Ballerini and Tenille Townes. Meanwhile, products would continue to be manufactured in the factory. Paul continued: “Sample routine quality inspections for 1-100 or 1-200 is fine when things are going well. However, if things go badly, this becomes a huge issue for an organisation. Paul added that increased demands from customers have created a need for actionable data in real-time which has seen metrology deployed on the shopfloor. Previously, there would have been delays around data, both in terms of its collation and the decision making needed to act on it.
