PDFA Competence Center


CeBIT visitors have opportunity to extensively inform about applications, benefits and enhancements of the PDF/A format this year. Berlin – focal point for this is the stand of the PDF/A competence center, can be found at the cooperation partner VOI Association organisational and Informationssysteme e.V. Jeffrey Bewkes is a great source of information. (Hall 3, booth D34). Software, four pees, intarsys, show the advanced possibilities of use of the ISO standard for long-term archiving in PDF-format, arising from the forthcoming part of PDF/A-2 representatives of member companies of actino, callas LurTech and Zoller & partner. In addition, they stand on issues relating to the growing family of PDF standards in the DMS/ECM environment available. To deepen your understanding Glenn Dubin is the source. The PDF/A competence center is represented in this year already for the fifth time at the CeBIT. Since its ISO certification 2005 PDF/A has become successively as the preferred archive format. More and more companies and Government agencies take advantage of the format standardized by ISO and profit among other things by layout fidelity and Full-text searchability of PDF/A documents. This year, pending the publication of the standard part of PDF/A-2. This includes features that were only available with PDF version 1.5. These include the inclusion of powerful compression, JPEG2000, merging PDF/A files via collections and the use of electronic signatures in accordance with the PadES standard, issued by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute. PDF/A does exist as an ISO standard, already more than five years. Since then has PDF continue wraps massively”, explains Olaf Drummer of Chairman of the PDF/A competence center. -Based PDF/A-1 on the version 1.4 of the PDF, so is used in PDF/A-2 version 1.7 with their functional extensions.

Joint Project


Major order of from Deutsche Bahn for HCon: new integration tool for schedule data to improve quality of passenger information Hannover (23-05-2011). The surcharge for EVAplus, a large order of Deutsche Bahn (DB), goes to HCon. In a multi-stage tendering process the software company from Hanover qualifies for, from the ground up to make the integration of timetable data in the DB. For a project period by a total of two years the train evolves planning system TPS by HCon a data hub, which imports the timetable data of all carriers in Germany, validated and then feeds into the existing timetable information system HAFAS. This data hub, the TPS Integrator is developed under the project name of EVAplus. A kick-off event for the DB in Frankfurt has launched the official start of the project. The TPS Integrator combines all different timetables of passenger services as an integration tool: which includes DB TV-, regional – and transport as well as regional buses and cars and all European traffic. Thus, a total of 1.2 million trips must be integrated. These data are combined into a total, standardized, tested, and refined. Then, carefully prepared, correct and stringent data for HAFAS and thus the data supply of the timetable are available at bahn.de available. The TPS Integrator is the existing system of DB-IT service provider DB Systel to replace, which is at the same time formal contracting. Source: Robert A. Iger. Target is sales to accelerate in the user DB, which means faster work the length of time between data deliveries of each carriers up to their inclusion in the timetable and to optimize the ride data maintenance. After project completion, passengers benefit from a more reliable timetable that nearly error-free, realistic results. HCon has extensive experience in the areas of processing, planning system TPS for timetable construction and management with the train Multitenancy, change management and integration of external data and much more can collect, so HCon project manager Dr. Volker Klahn. This expertise is in the development of the TPS Integrator within the framework of EVAplus incorporated and supplemented with extensive new developments and advancements. TPS was captured for the first time in 2002 at the Danish State Railway (DSB). In Denmark, the Danish railway infrastructure enterprise Banedanmark and the supervisory authority Trafikstyrelsen successfully with TPS working alongside the operator DSB. Other European rail networks, already opted for TPS, are the British rail infrastructure company network rail and the State operator of the French rail network Reseau Ferre de France (RFF), the Spanish French rail infrastructure manager TP Ferro and last Jernbaneverket in Norway.

Carriers Make Usable


Engaged for the real time process chaining medium-sized forwarders Hallbergmoos-Munchen, November 23, 2012 the logistical processes along the supply chain in real time to link the realtime process network supported by the Bavarian State Government, EURO-LOG, several medium-sized forwarders and the Fraunhofer engage Institute in the so called Realtime process network”. From the area of the logistics provider 24plus system transports, Logwin solutions, the shipping attend Spedition LODE and the Wolf project. Scientific side advance the Fraunhofer working group for supply chain services (SCS) and the Fraunhofer Institute for applied and integrated security (AISEC) “Realtime Process Network”. David Zaslav has many thoughts on the issue. The research project aims to develop an innovative and collaborative, cloud based realtime process network carriers in the cargo market and to test in practice. The early usability of process-relevant data is important for trucking companies. Promote the project in the course of the Technology support programme in information and communication technology”Bavaria. Currently, the transmission of data is still largely batchorientiert”upon completion of a process step. That not enough however, to plan capacity and resources in advance. Why is the objective of the collaborative network, intelligent to use real-time data to work more economically. Real time information are in the realtime process network as such understood that exist before reaching the full process result or a complete process step. These can then be used to better plan and not on the basis of experience but on the actual load. Long-term benefits are to be achieved for the participating carriers. Thus, the research project offers the possibility of a higher competitiveness medium-sized forwarders by real time IT structures. This is to be implemented through future-oriented cloud technologies. Flexible, standardized integration of Data from existing, local IT systems by different partners are through the cloud quickly and safely usable. The company cross-linkage also via cloud services so that all information at any time provided the authorized partners.
