Sustainability has long been a pressing issue on the minds of many socially conscious consumers and business owners alike, and for good reason – the planet’s ecosystem depends on it. For vital industries like construction and manufacturing, the need to recognise and act upon the vast importance of sustainability is not only a sensible business decision but also a duty to the natural world. The circular economy is an effective process adopted by many to improve overall sustainability, and for immensely popular and critically important materials like steel, it may even be a necessity in maximising resources and minimising carbon footprints.
In 2020 the world was forced to close work spaces, and businesses had no choice but to operate online. The business world has slowly come back, with employees making their way into offices as either part of a hybrid or office work model. Many companies gave up their spaces in 2020, as it wasn't profitable to have a workspace with bills and other commitments that weren't properly utilised. Now, these companies are actively looking for and buying office spaces that fulfil their needs and allow their employees to work on-site. However, for many e-commerce businesses, offices aren't the type of space being sought after. Instead, these businesses are looking for warehouse spaces.
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a synthetic polymer noted for its water solubility. It’s derived from the chemical breakdown of polyvinyl acetate through water, or a process called hydrolysis. Due to being water-soluble, it’s considered an environment-friendly compound, useful across various industries. Polyvinyl alcohol is present in most consumer goods today. It’s a valuable compound used by different industries to enhance their products’ quality, function, and efficacy. These significant improvements revolutionise production and consumption.
A pressure sensor is an electronic device consisting of a pressure-sensitive element to measure the pressure of gases or liquids. They can be used to indirectly measure other variables such as fluid/gas flow, speed, water level, and altitude. While most people know about pressure sensors, it can confuse some people about their actual applications. Knowing about them helps one figure out what sensors will work for them.
When the cargo ship Ever Given got stuck in the Suez Canal in March 2021, the entire global supply chain was affected. For nearly a week, cargo ships were stalled on both sides of the canal, halting U.K.-manufactured shipments headed overseas, as well as vital imports. It took months for the global supply chain — and the global economy as a whole — to overcome the backlogs and bounce back.
The agile world is expanding and quality assurance (QA) has transformed from "test everything" to "test as quickly as feasible." The increasing adoption rate of DevOps (specialised software) and Agile is undervaluing the necessity of QA for many teams because these principles focus on quality and speed. Even though the agile methodology calls for QA process and is said to be a part of the sprint team, it holds a unique challenge because performing proper testing strategies and validation is a time-consuming process.
