Science Minister, Dr Ana Pesikan, together with her associates visited Institute Mihailo Pupin. The Ministry’s delegation met and discussed with the researchers and the members of the IMP’s managing board. During the visit, the Minister was informed in detail about the results made in the previous period. The General Manager of Institute Mihailo Pupin emphasized that the engagements of IMP in various projects involving small and large enterprises saved millions of dinars and euros. For instance, Electric Power Industry of Serbia saved 10 million euros, road industry saved 15 million euros, public administration saved 2 million euros and air transportation saved 2 million euros, public utility companies saved 1 million euros, etc.

Dr Pesikan visited several laboratories of IMP which were furnished with the capital equipment funded from the national investment plan in the period 2006-2007.

The researchers had to travel abroad earlier in order to do various measuring and testing using modern equipment which are necessary for their scientific-research work. After buying the modern equipment and by furnishing IMP’s laboratories with this equipment, high-quality basis for performing research-development work was made in Serbia. This equipment is available for other users funded by the Ministry, as well as for the tuition in the field of scientific-research work.

The implementation of mySAP business solution was made by putting into production the modern IMP ERP business system. To realize this project, it was necessary to improve computing and network capacities in IMP. For that purpose, the competition of the IMP DATA Centre was funded from the national investment plan. The new business system of Institute Mihailo Pupin, SAP-IMP, was put into production at the end of February and all users were trained. Due to this system, modules such as finance, warehousing and purchase, sales and distribution and HR will be improved and modernized.

The laboratory for measuring electrical values is furnished with the modern high-quality equipment, with high accuracy for the most precise laboratory measuring of electrical quantities (voltage, AC and DC, electrical resistivity, ohmage, electrical power and energy – single-phase and three-phase).

The laboratory for development, analysis, protection and certification of computer and telecommunication networks (Internet and Intranet) in corporate systems is used mostly during the process of solution development and verification aimed for fixed (wireline and wireless) and mobile telephone network. It allows development and testing of new Intranet and Internet services, such as remote control, acquisition and control of speech, data and video in a real time. The equipment in this laboratory is used for the passive and active testing in the laboratory as well as in a real environment. The laboratory is also very important for the education of scientific-research staff and as a support in the LAN administration.

The Laboratory for the testing electromagnetic compatibility of the technical systems and equipment is intended for the measurement of the electromagnetic interferences and electromagnetic disturbances of the technical systems and equipment in the scope from 0Hz to 26.5GHz. The laboratory is intensively used for the development of new hardware solutions as well as for the quality testing of the current solutions. The equipment within this laboratory is unavoidable for the quality of the scientific research work in the field of electromagnetic compatibility. Owing to the means from the NIP (National Investment Plan), the Laboratory for the gas technic got the latest flue gas analyzer as well as the testing stand for the gas safety valves and the equipment for the wall gas boilers testing according to the EU standards.

Although this equipment is intended solely for the scientific & research activities for the purpose of the unprofitable scientific research work, its existence and utilization will indirectly influence the realization of one of the main goals of the Institute experts: the transfer of R&D results into the industry and their positioning at the domestic and foreign market.
