RamLog NEWS - February 2008

R&M Technologies is pleased to announce that RamLog 6.1 Simulation Edition and Information Management Edition will be released during February 2008. The major changes in this version of RamLog are:

Editions: Development of a Simulation, Information Management and Failure Data Editions. These editions can be used as stand alone applications or as a powerful integrated suite. The Failure Data Edition will be released mid 2008.

Licensing and pricing: Changing of the licensing model and price structures into a bundled license on the server with a limited number of concurrent users.

Simulation Edition

It provides the user with the ability to simulate different systems and system types in an operational & support scenario. With reference to the RamLog 6.0 SSM application, the Simulation Edition now has its own database interface. Some of the other changes are:

Input grids and system selection rules: An improved Planner, with additional input grids and system selection rules were developed. These grids make it easier for the user to enter and manipulate large datasets.

Deploy and Support model: The Deploy & Support Model was simplified, by using automatic decisions. A decision block is no longer required to point the Job Card to the correct facility block.

Animation Model: An histogram object was develop to provide a histogram, probability density function, relative cumulative frequency diagram and the frequency distribution data table.

Facility Block: The facility block can now simulate personnel shifts and facility unavailable periods, to provide for a more realistic simulation.

Information Management Edition

It provides the user with the ability to perform a Logistic Support Analysis (LSA) and to develop Technical Documentation and Interactive Electronic Technical Manual directly from the LSA database. Some of the changes are:

Grids windows: Additional grid input windows were developed for the Information Management Edition. The importing and exporting of “csv” files were also included.

Illustrated Parts Breakdown (IPB) and Technical Manuals: The IPB Editor was improved and it is now easier to create IPBs and Technical Manuals directly from the Logistic Support Database.

Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETMs): The user interface to add/manipulate “Hot Spots” onto figures and photos were improved. This makes it easier to develop IETMs in “html” and in the Windows Help format.
