CASE STUDY: EFFECTS OF ICT ON BUSINESS

ICT (Information and Communications Technology) is a key input to productivity and growth performance in the business sector. It has made good progress in modernising many of the country’s economy and has started to successfully address structural problems including low levels of human capital and poverty.

Businesses use ICT by using computers, software application and the internet to reduce the cost of doing business, save and hence make profit. Databases can be used to store information on employees or goods which makes the access and retrieval of this kind of data faster. Other accounting software monitors the revenue and costs and generates reports on the current financial status as well as historical data to enhance data analysis and inform decision making. The internet is used by businesses to advertise their goods, make payments and also to order goods.

in business, there are various uses of ICT. Some of these include administration, production, security, marketing, research and communication. Different business use various ICT related procedures to perform their day to day task for instance generate reports, send information and talking to clients.

ICT is a very important tool in the business sector. A range of office software programmes are utilised for business. Some of these are word processing packages, databases to hold human resource records, stock details and so on and the use of spreadsheet packages for statistical record keeping and analysis. The finance director has access to accounts software that monitors revenue and costs and generates reports on the current financial status as well as historical data to enhance data analysis and inform decision making. BACS Payment Systems are used to pay suppliers and employees. In production, much of the machinery is controlled and monitored through some form of computerised system. Whether it be a record of the stock coming into the factory and the system to track that stock right the way through the supply chain, to computer controlled temperature systems on the ovens, timing devices on the cooling systems for the meat, software that generates patterning used for potato toppings to the systems that help with the statistical process control, factories rely on ICT to help it in its work. Bar coding is used extensively and provides a quick and accurate method of identifying raw materials, individual meals, cases of product and pallets of stock.

Monitoring, Measurements;

CPR device

Medical Applications;

Blood bag scale: Monitoring the blood volume

Blood bag scales monitor and stop the blood donation process according to the volume specifications required by the blood bank.

Infusion pumps: Determination of the pressure on the syringe plunger

Infusion pumps are used for the intravenous administration of infusions. Special strain gauge-based load cells are used here to monitor the pressure on the syringe plunger.

Blood separation: Volume measurement of blood components

The volumes of individual blood components such as red and white blood cells or plasma are measured during blood separation by means of single point load cells.

Climate Monitoring;

Why do we measure weather and monitor climate?
Weather conditions are usually measured and described in terms of temperature, wind speed and direction, cloud cover, and precipitation (precipitation includes rain, snow, hail and any other form that falls from clouds).

Web-based climate monitor with output relay control. Set alarms to trigger relays if something goes wrong, or log into the unit and manually turn a relay on or off. Has plenty of inputs to expand with remote sensors. Built-in buzzer and LED display.
