This research note reports upon advancements in computerization and big data creation within the off-highway plant and machinery sector.
The advantage of computerized testing is that it guarantees standardization of testing regimens, efficiency of data collection, computerization of data storage and analyses, and systematization of testing administration.
Many factors contributed to under-performing information systems, such as difficulty in calculating indicators because of poor choices for denominators in DR Congo (Mapatano and Piripiri 2005) and inadequacies in computerization, data flow, human and capital resources, and low management support in Kenya (Odhiambo-Otieno 2005a).
The environmental health surveillance and response system included standardization, computerization and electronic transmission of data concerning environmental inspections of 17 site categories (restaurants, swimming pools etc) of public health interest, drinking and recreational water examinations and suggested corrective actions.
The time interval between the delivery of forms and computerization of the data is kept as short as possible for two reasons: i) to reduce the chance of the data forms being lost and ii) to quickly resolve any errors of the data in the field.
Wherever possible, original employment records related to the establishment of the cohort were reviewed to ensure that the abstraction and computerization of the data were error free.
The system computerization and the electronic network allowed electronic data exchange and production of reports at any time during the day, while data could be compared with epidemiological surveillance findings.
Silicon Valley in the broadest sense has wrought changes in industrial management, investment and innovation since the beginning of computerization, but the pace has accelerated markedly as mobile, cloud computing and data analytics have become cheaper and more widespread.
Use of online analytical instruments, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, and dedicated software have resulted in automation and computerization of treatment processes with the provision for remote operations.
Although several efforts have been made to improve the performance of RHIS (e.g. computerization of data processing, simplification of definitions of indicators, revision of recording and reporting forms, and re-structuring of health information systems), most developing countries still lack sufficiently strong and effective health information systems [ 9].
