Saving Costs with Remote Control Helicopters Flight Simulators

Many people have been prompted by the appeal of remote control helicopter flying. This has made them to go and purchase it before getting educated on how it works. A simulator offers one a chance to see if they enjoy flying before jumping into the wallet to spend the cash. There are many types of simulators available for use as commercial products for personal computer and other systems of
gaming
. Any of the commercial simulators provided offers a realistic experience of flying in a remote controlled helicopter. The benefit of one using a simulator is there is no potential damage of the virtual helicopter. A simulator offers one the opportunity of learning to fly an RC helicopter in real environments. Most of the flight simulators support actual RC transmitter which gives the user an opportunity for same control features used in actual operations of flying. Other flight simulators have there unique style of control meant to simulate the RC transmitter.

Remote control helicopter simulators provide many helicopters with model options and offers flexibility of changing conditions. A user is able to specify the parameters of flying the helicopter which include weather, equipment and size. Some flight simulators have training modes that allow the user to practice flying by use of several aspects of the controls and the simulator handles all other aspects. The aim here is to make learning the system of flying helicopters be easy. It should be noted that simulators are not meant for games purposes. They offer a risk free environment where close calls and new tricks can be tried which can never be attempted in real-life Remote Control Helicopters. One gets to learn the technique of flying with treatment of the simulator as a field of practice.

One should focus on specific areas which help him/her when starting to fly actual Remote Control Helicopters. Skills to be learnt are trying the landing of helicopters in desired locations and point in different directions. Allow the helicopter to go into a simulated tailspin mode and correct the situation using controls. The best way to practice flying is to make sure you are not hitting any objects. Practice should be done under different winds and weather conditions. Modifications can be done on the equipment so that flying is done in imbalanced trims or mechanical failures. Once one is able to fly the remote controlled helicopter simulation with proficiency then he/she is ready to fly the real helicopter.

Experienced remote controlled helicopter simulation fans can become tired with using the standard nitro-powered or standard electric models for practice and decide on something else more exciting. Turbo powered helicopter simulation engines provide more power and excitement in flying seen no where else. When flying a turbine jet remote controlled simulation, it is close one is able to get to the real experience of flying. From the outside look, the make and size of the simulated Remote Control Helicopters are the same size as electric and nitro models. There are engine kits that convert about any scale model helicopter to a turbine powered one. The transmitter and controls are the same for any experienced flyer to have no trouble making the change.

The Advantages of Electric Radio controlled Aircraft   by Nicole Roberts

There are many different kinds of radio Controlled Aircraft on the market. There are airplanes, jets, helicopters, blimps and even flying saucers. You also have two different kinds of power sources, gas as well as electric. Many RC aircraft use electric battery packs and charging systems that plug into the wall. These are much safer, more reliable, and easier to deal with than gas models.

Whether it is a helicopter or an airplane, make sure you are buying a quality radio controlled aircraft. Every holiday season it seems like every retailer tries to sell RC aircraft, many of which are pieces of junk. Any kind of plane or helicopter that is offered for twenty dollars you don’t even want to buy, because half the time they are not the kind of quality you want, and you will end up disappointing the person you buy them for. Why is this? Because most of these cheap products are not made with high quality materials, the batteries are also of poor quality, and flight time is around five minutes or less.

In order to find the best radio controlled aircraft, if you are really serious about this hobby, is to go online. There are online retailers that sell all kinds of high quality RC aircrafts These are solidly constructed, made from high impact plastic and other materials, have the latest state-of-the-art electronics, as well as the best lithium batteries made. This means that they will last longer, have a better flight time, and take the abuse of even the most novice of users.

There are many different advantages of using electric radio controlled air craft. One of the biggest is that gas powered models use a volatile fuel mixture. This is messy to deal with, hard to fill the tanks, and dangerous to use. While you may go faster, the fuel doesn’t last that long. Because it uses gasoline, it is dangerous for younger users to handle. Because it uses a combustion engine, it puts harmful pollutants into the atmosphere. They are really noisy as well, and so you have to worry about people around you.

Electric RC aircraft are much easier to operate, and most are ready-to-run right out of the box. All you have to do is put the battery pack in for larger models and you’re off and flying. Even ones that have built in batteries are good for at least a half an hour before having to charge them up. They are much safer for beginners to operate, and the rotors and blades don’t spin so fast that they could to some serious injury or harm. Many people who use electric radio controlled aircraft buy few extra batteries so the can extend their flight time.

When you are buying radio controlled aircraft, make sure that it comes with everything included to fly your plane or helicopter. Make sure you look carefully at the product descriptions. They should include the helicopter or plane, the battery pack as well as the charger, and the Radio Controller. You need to be careful, because some kits come with everything except the RC controller. It would really be a bummer if you spent top dollar for a quality product, only to find out it didn’t include the transmitter.

Best-of-Breed versus Integrated Systems – The Case of WMS

When choosing software for a particular aspect of your business, be it CRM, Shop Floor Management, Quality Control, Point of Sale, WMS Solutions or anything else, the choice between selecting a specific package to address your needs (Best of Breed), or selecting an overall system that will serve your business as a whole is not one that should be taken lightly.

If you do not already have an ERP system in place, you might want to consider looking for a system that covers both the specific functionality you are looking for, as well as being a fully functional company wide solution. For companies that already have an ERP system, try to find out if your vendor offers a WMS option, and even if it doesn’t include all the very specific functionality, if it’s “close enough” you should certainly weigh it carefully against the integration of third-party options. Let’s look at the case of Warehouse Management Systems, or WMS.

Implementation of WMS systems has always been a major challenge even when undertaken with budgets of $500K and upward, so it is understandably a greater challenge within the budgets that small and medium-sized companies can afford. A major contributing factor to this challenge is the integration complexity of a system that is not part of the ERP system. Implementing a stand-alone WMS solution, in addition to the complexity of its integration, could have a tremendous impact on pricing and costs, overall system stability and the efficiency of day-to-day work.

Issues

Following are some of the common problems faced when integrating an ERP and WMS system:

1. Inventory balance discrepancy (or “mismatch”): there are a plethora of issues that could trigger an inventory balance discrepancy between a system with separate ERP and WMS Software. For every part for which a mismatch is detected, there may be hundreds (or thousands) of transactions that should be investigated to analyze the cause of the discrepancy. Selecting the two-system approach mandates the appointment of individual/s who would do the investigation and make it part of their job description.

2. Incremental system initiation is almost mandatory to avoid costly downtime in a warehouse. There are two ways to achieve incremental implementation, both of which are difficult if not impossible to accomplish when the WMS is a separate entity: a. Isolate an area in the warehouse and implement the WMS on that area only. b. Isolate an activity (e.g., “pick”) and implement throughout the warehouse.

3. Incremental system shut-down: warehouse management systems (integrated or separate) can suffer from erroneous data definitions that will result in system malfunctions. When working with a third party WMS, there is no way to incrementally isolate the area or operation in which the malfunction was detected. Unless a quick fix is provided, the whole warehouse operation may come to a standstill as the problem spreads and is exacerbated with every additional transaction or activity reported into the system. Incremental shut-down capabilities are a readily available option in a fully integrated WMS/ERP system.

4. Managing assemblies (packing small packages into larger ones, unpacking, etc.): due to complexity, managing assemblies can be a significant issue to resolve when working with two separate systems. But in a fully integrated system, it’s an integral part of the ERP system, extended into the WMS.

5. Data synchronization challenges: a. There are a number of inventory attributes that are customer-specific in both what they represent and the business process/rules that they must fulfill, such as customer-designated inventory allocation (quantitative, prepaid, etc.), “ship to/bill to” locations and more. Any mismatch between the ERP system and the WMS when such attributes and rules are synchronized could cause a discrepancy between the two systems, which in turn may result in prolonged work stoppages until the problems are identified and resolved. b. Delivery priorities as set by the Supply Chain Management (SCM) system in the ERP system are difficult to synchronize with an external WMS on an ongoing basis. Tracking and synchronization between two systems to account for other actions in the warehouse, such as “Put”, that are temporarily implemented in the ERP system can be troublesome.

An integrated solution

Some ERP systems now include an integrated WMS module and WMS Services. Following are some of the benefits provided by the integrated WMS-ERP solution:

1. Integration: an integrated WMS system enables the warehousing functions to interact seamlessly with other system and corporate activities, be they manufacturing or distribution related. Whether your business is manufacturing bars of soap or providing maintenance for jet engines, the warehouse functions as an integral part of the business, so it makes sense to manage it as an integral part of the core software solution.

2. Visibility: an integrated WMS system provides a greater depth and breadth to supply chain visibility, helping users not only to check order statuses, but also to meet ever increasing delivery standards, manage global operations on many levels more efficiently, and provide customer service reps with crucial information and alerts.

3. Unification: unified data structures (part catalogue, warehouse/location records, etc.). As a result, any authorized user can perform data validation during initial system implementation using a single system and interface.

4. Interface consistency: With a unified user interface, training fees and learning curve times are greatly reduced. Getting new employees up and running on two different user interfaces is always more costly and time consuming than learning a single user interface.

5. Unified system maintenance: Of the many issues that could be covered under this topic, a predominant one is maintaining “user permissions/profiles” in two different systems.

6. Overall benefits of the ERP system are automatically included in the WMS functionality: BI features including Dashboards and KPIs, BPM functionality and more.

If the WMS is part of the ERP system, warehouse operations can interact seamlessly with
accounting
, CRM, Supply Chain, production processes and more. Purchase, sales and inventory processes can be used to trigger the putaway, picking and replenishment tasks, or vice versa.
