Compliance is considered by many to be part of the drudgery of the modern workplace, but it need not be so. The need to comply offers a unique opportunity to collect and gain insights into your equipment and systems that are not easily gained by “optional” endeavours that so often get moved down the list of actions and priorities. To look at the opportunity that compliance events afford us, it is Read More …
Managing things that need regular testing has to be one of the more tedious parts of any building engineers job, despite it being one of the best ways to improve reliability and compliance. Whilst there are many tools on the market for managing scheduled tasks such as a reminder to do the checking, Peninsula Health, a long time client of ours needed a way to keep tabs on Residual Current Read More …
In June 2018 new requirements for the Annual Essential Services Maintenance (ESM) Report came into effect. The new reports must still contain the building description and declaration around AS1851-2012, but now the ESM items have further requirements that must be displayed on the ESM declaration. To comply, statements must now include the name of persons performing the maintenance as well as the company for whom they work, the item on Read More …
Recently we assisted one of our clients who had the unenviable issue of excessive out of hours failures that were resulting in high costs for after hours tradesman. Their site is a complex site containing an acute medical facility and several community health centres. Yimelo suggested the adoption of a checkIT process for their weekly plant and building checks, that could deliver both a process that ensured all systems were Read More …
One of our key clients, working in partnership with the Department of Health and Human Services Building Authority approached Yimelo to design and implement a database system for the collection and retention of interval metering data associated with LCG eligible electricity generators (Solar Arrays). The data needed to be provisioned for both the internal reporting needs that Victorian health services have to the Department of Health and Human Services, as Read More …
Recently Yimelo was asked to develop a tool on a particularly tight budget that would be safe, acceptable to a wide range of our client’s stakeholders and automatically process and transpose user data into a wider database system that was incumbent to our client. Pictured is what we came up with. It’s a Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) implementation that uses excel as it’s “interpreter” allowing us to treat the Read More …
Following from the success of our checkIT routine check software we set about building a more specialised system for doing negative pressure rooms. The aim of the build is to keep the simple interface, optimised for mobile whilst delivering a comprehensive standards compliant report to “our clients client” that they can use to ensure their own quality procedures are followed. You can see what we came up with to the Read More …
At Yimelo, we have long been a fan of system on chip (SOC) systems for embedded applications. We recently had an opportunity to provide an instrument what is perhaps the most well known of the SOC systems; a raspberry pi to gather and transmit data. We are no stranger to the Raspberry pi, and have used them for many applications with keen interest since they arrived on the market as Read More …
We had an interesting problem pass across the desk recently, which was the measurement and visualization of differential pressure in an operating theater. The device needs to alert occupants to any absence of pressure differential when doors are closed, but not alarm when the doors are open (as there is no differential obviously). This is itself is not overly complex, but the requirements of the request was that it provided Read More …
