Don't miss out on Day 2 at the Facilities Management seminar theatre at Gallagher Convention Centre. Nirmal Narotam, Director of PAS South Africa will be a guest speaker at the Facilities Management seminar theatre at 10h00 in the Loading Bay Hall between Halls 2 and 3. His talk is titled "Management of critical asset infrastructure at a hospital group – A case study". The management of critical asset infrastructure requires greater care than typical assets. At hospitals, critical assets include diesel generators, heating and ventilation systems, uninterruptable power systems (UPS), fire detection, water storage and supply, electrical distribution and medical systems like medical air and oxygen. To maintain the required high availability of these critical assets, timely response to serious reported failures is crucial. To minimise maintenance costs, a data driven long term predictive maintenance strategy are also required. Typically, hospitals are located across the country. In this paper, for the UPS critical asset, we present a case study in the development and deployment of a centralised software-based monitoring and maintenance strategy. This strategy has led to high availability and lower maintenance costs of the critical assets. This promises to be a very enlightening and informative talk.

"Lets all come together to support universities...." Agreed!👏 . 'Students should do more research' but equally important is the need for industry stakeholders to value research by intentionally availing themselves in sharing data when needed. Research drives sustainable development and it needs academia and the industry to collaborate. A considerable number of Namibian scholars have stressed on how insanely challenging it is to collect primary data in our country. This is even more worse for scholars in the diaspora; getting responses from the targetted participants for research interviews is beyond the bounds of possibility. Similar to the need of understanding the importance of partaking in elections (voting), is the need to encourage and educate/ remind the public on the significance of purposefully responding to research invitations. This is not to inspire coercion but to bring awareness in reducing the reluctance to participate in research. It is concerning when virtually nobody is available to share the required data. #Research #Namibia #breakthereluctance #Academia #Industry #Collaboration #SustainableDevelopment

We cannot afford to tinker around the edges or settle for mediocre results if we are to unlock the transformative power of tourism and position South Africa as a global destination of choice.   The time is now, and the responsibility is ours.
