At our last meeting we were addressed by Johan Maartens, the SOX compliance manager at Siemens Business Services in Midrand. Johan serves on the SAIMC Council and the Council sub-committee tasked with interfacing with ECSA and handling our Continued Professional Development (CDP) point’s issues. This is the same presentation Johan gave recently at a Johannesburg branch meeting and he will gladly e-mail a copy to anyone interested.

Advanced imaging technology is gaining popularity in the measurement and control industry. The Durban branch will be hosting a talk: 'Imaging in Africa' by Barry Dudley, on 6 August. Members and non-members are invited to join us for this interesting talk on imaging applications. Some of the topics include: image analysis (counting and sizing); accept reject systems; stack emissions; forest fire detection; licence plate recognition; facial identification and other aspects of verification.

The talk will be a live, realtime, practical demonstration of the technologies in action with examples from KZN sites, and end-users present to share their experiences. Queries regarding image submissions for analysis during the talk should be addressed to I-Cube on [email protected].

Venue: Electrical engineering building, University of KZN 17h30 for 18h00.
