Abstract: An interactive visualization tool for displaying metrics associated with inventory related output from a replenishment simulation for an enterprise supply chain is described. Predicted values for metrics associated with simulation output may be received on a per item, per node, per epoch basis for a plurality of items associated with the supply chain at a plurality of nodes of the supply chain over a plurality of epochs. A visualization tool user interface may be rendered that includes item and node menus enabling user selection of varying granularity levels for viewing the metrics. The metrics may be aggregated according to a presently selected level of granularity, and represented within a single graphical view of the user interface to visualize projected inventory positions of items across nodes of the supply chain. The aggregated metrics may include an expected projection and a worst-case projection for one or more types of the metrics.

Abstract: A method can be used for fire-resistant sealing of an opening in a wall or ceiling, through which a line is passed. The method involves cutting a strip-shaped fire protection bandage to a length corresponding to a circumference of the line, with or without an overlap. The fire protection bandage contains fire-retardant and/or intumescent material. The method then involves placing the cut-to-length fire protection bandage around the line, to form a layer which only partially protrudes outward from the opening. The method further involves annularly applying a putty to part of the fire protection bandage protruding from the opening, to form a putty ring of a slightly larger outer diameter than the opening diameter, such that the putty ring closes the opening and extends slightly beyond the edge. The method finally involves pressing the putty ring against the fire protection bandage and the opening edge, to seal the line feedthrough.

Abstract: An insert for fireproofing at least one electric mounting box contains a substrate material and an intumescent layer, both the substrate material and the intumescent layer being able to undergo plastic deformation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a gasket on a component using a shaping tool, wherein the material used for the gasket is a UV-curable sealing or gasket material, and wherein the shaping tool comprises an upper face and a lower face and at least one cavity which is open toward the lower face of the shaping tool and which is provided for filling with the gasket material, and wherein furthermore the shaping tool is made of a UV-transparent material at least in the region of the cavity, comprising the following steps in the order indicated: 1. introducing the gasket material into the cavity of the shaping tool; 2. placing the component onto the lower face of the tool provided with the gasket material; 3. pressing the component onto the tool; 4. curing the gasket material by way of UV irradiation; and 5. removing the tool from the component and the gasket joined thereto. The invention further relates to a shaping tool for use in such a method.

Abstract: In order to produce a line element lead-through that is resistant to fire and flue gas for simple installation into one or more paneled drywalls, whereby the line element lead-through can be used in a matching component opening and is also sealed against fire and flue gas when empty, a line element lead-through is suggested with a molded element closed on at least one side of an elastically deformable intumescent material as a sleeve, especially formed as a truncated cone or a cylinder, with the criterion that the opening cross section of the sleeve corresponds to maximum 60% of the cross section of the component pass-through. Embedded within the molded element is a support structure.

Abstract: A fire protection element is disclosed. The fire protection element has a foamed body formed at least partially of an ash-forming mixture, and in an embodiment, an intumescent mixture. A carrier component is embedded in the foamed body. The carrier component is a thin, flat part which is covered by the body on at least one flat side.
