Challenges in Food Manufacturing – Computerisation

Food processing is one of the most challenging sectors in manufacturing. Governed by endless laws and guidelines the difficulties in food preparation plants do not end there. Hygiene understandably plays a large part in food manufacturing with the need to keep surfaces, floors, walls and equipment spotlessly clean. For this reason nearly all equipment has […]

Computer Filth

A recent study has discovered that computer keyboards house more germs than toilet seats even harbouring potentially lethal bacteria such MRSA. Experts say there are over 3,000 microbes per square inch on the average keyboards compared to just 49 microbes on a toilet seat! With the increasing use of computers in the health professions they […]

Armagard’s Medical Keyboards

Medical Keyboards provide a safer environment in an industry where germs, bacteria and viruses are lethal. It’s extremely durable and is built to withstand the kind of rigorous cleaning that would render other keyboards useless, making medical keyboards widely used in hospitals and other medical facilities.

Industrial Computer Enclosure – Selecting Your Enclosure

Industrial computer enclosures are now the preferred choice for industrial IT implementation. They are reasonably inexpensive, offer protection for all potential hazardous environments, flexible; units can be interchanged within them, and will lengthen the life of any IT equipment enclosed. Printers, monitors, touch screens, computer towers, desktop PC’s,, keyboards, TV’s, clocks and any other sensitive […]

Industrial Computer: Coping With Water

Computers are now as essential a part of production lines as they are in office environments. A computer running a production line will save money, increase efficiency and reduce waste. Unfortunately many production lines are unsuited for the delicate electronics of a computer. Not only can production lines be dirty and full of dust many […]

Workstations and Bacteria – The Medical Keyboard

Computer keyboards harbour more germs than toilet seats including the deadly bacteria MRSA, microbiologists tell us and with the increasing use of computers in the health profession there is a worry that an increase in hospital infections could be imminent as keyboards can act as a ‘superhighway’ for bacteria. There is an average of 3,300 […]

Computers and Hygiene

It may surprise many people to learn that computer workstations harbour far more bacteria and germs than the average toilet seat.

Medical Keyboards Fight Against MRSA

A recent study by the University of Arizona has discovered that computer keyboards can house more germs than toilet seats with 25% carrying the deadly superbug MRSA- one of a number of hospital-acquired infections which kill 5,000 people each year in the UK alone. Microbiologists found an average of 3,300 microbes per square inch on […]
