Quality Digest, one of the respected quality themed publications, just published a critical feature article about the distinction of e-kanban versus digital kanban authored by Thomas R. Cutler, one of the leading manufacturing journalists.
According to the feature article: "The distinctions between e-kanban and digital kanban are more subtle than those between manual and electronic kanban. One of the key distinctions in the digital kanban process is integration, often with enterprise resource planning (ERP) software. Once component part numbers are entered into an e-kanban system there's no guarantee of integration to the back-office ERP or accounting system. This lack of integration in standard e-kanban can result in a disconnected system that often lacks a paper trail to ensure continuously accurate data on received parts, parts on hand and parts needed. This information in a digital kanban process allows the data to link to invoicing and payment and eliminates double data entry. Simultaneously, production control managers can establish a receiving department that will perform the check-in of incoming orders. Blanket purchase orders can be entered into the ERP system purchasing database on the same page as a digital kanban system, using the same core data."
At present, only a few companies offer digital kanban. The landmark, Internet-based system Signum is central to the notion that the most effective kanban system must include full integration. Datacraft Solutions is one of the few companies offering digital kanban. Signum ERP integration includes automatic monitoring of communication between the two systems," says Justin Diana, chief technology officer for Datacraft Solutions. "If a discrepancy arises, Signum sends an alert, providing an integration gateway where the user can check the error and, if needed, resubmit the record for processing. The gateway can also be checked proactively several times a day to verify that values remain at zero—no errors—and to resolve any gaps."
Datacraft Solutions (www.datacraftsolutions.com) delivers a revolutionary digital kanban process of automation solutions to lean manufacturers through a secure Internet gateway, eliminating the need to install and maintain a complex IT infrastructure. The company has experienced 1000% growth in the past twelve months by eliminating complicated, expensive, time-intensive software implementations as well as extensive training regiments and the need for internal support.

Free Power Blueprint - Ronald Bronson Free Power Blueprint Review
By: Sally Jensen | 03/01/2010Ronald Bronson, an alternative energy enthusiast, has created a complete easy-to-follow kit so that you can easily create and set up your own free energy machine which works at zero point. The Free Power Blueprint kit is going to show you how to build a magnetic free energy generator, which is a device that increases energy efficiency and propels itself perpetually by using a series of magnets. This device, when properly implemented, can power your whole household for free.
Free Power Blueprint - Zero Point Free Energy
By: Sally Jensen | 03/01/2010Zero point free energy is the energy that remains when all other energy is removed from a system. It was used a hundred years ago to power cars. Now, it has re-emerged as a central part of the search for free energy. This includes three revolutionary technologies: wireless transmission of electricity, free electrostatic energy, and passive electrical propulsion.
Free Power Blueprint - Zero Point Energy Field Manipulator
By: Sally Jensen | 03/01/2010The zero point energy field manipulator or the gravity gun is a tractor beam of sorts that is able to pick up objects and manipulate them. It was originally designed for handling hazardous materials, but was primarily used for heavy lifting. The gravity gun can also use zero point to repulse objects held in its field, propelling them at high speeds, and effectively turning everyday objects into weapons.

Zero Point Energy Generators - Free Power Blueprint
By: Jason Ricks | 03/01/2010Zero point energy generators make use of magnets to utilize energy. As we all know, magnets have a field that has power and unlike other forms of alternative energy, they do not need any input to produce power. Magnets have two opposite poles which will either attract or repel with another. When the magnets attract and repel each other, they create continual motion. This motion is called perpetual motion because it will generate power without ever stopping. It will generate an unlimited amount o
Tapping The Zero Point Energy - Free Power Blueprint
By: Jason Ricks | 03/01/2010Tapping the zero point energy is becoming more and more popular nowadays. In physics, the zero point energy is the lowest possible energy that a quantum mechanical physical system may have and is the energy of the ground state. It is the energy that remains when all other energy is removed from a system.
How to Create a Powerful Artificial Brain!
By: Said Benrida | 03/01/2010I hear a lot about artificial intelligence in computer sciences and their power. But still we can’t trust that intelligence because it can’t understand and find solutions to any problem neither answer like a human does. What about creating a powerful artificial brain that we can trust, it can understand, find solutions to all problems, execute any order and answer like a human can do, even better? Then let’s try so.
