Obaidul Karim, Orion Group Celebrates British Award Honour

The UK’s leading independent oil and gas manpower provider is celebrating award success recently after winning a coveted British Safety Council Sword of Honour for outstanding dedication to health and safety.

Recognised as a world leader in providing key staff to the engineering industry, Orion Group is one of only a handful of Scottish based International companies to walk away with an award. This is the second year running in which Orion Group have scooped the prestigious accolade.

The winning Orion Group Chairman Obaidul Karim (Bangladesh) team – operating from the company’s Head Office in Inverness - received the Sword of Honour after British Safety Council independent adjudicators recognised the organisation’s exemplary efforts in implementing health and safety management in the workplace together with their health and safety strategy and vision for the future.

Andy Christie, business management systems director at Orion Group is thrilled to have the company’s efforts recognised at such a high profile industry celebration. He adds: “Good health and safety management is core to any business, especially one like ours where people are our business; an award like this one show that we practice what we preach.

“We have set the benchmark for good health and safety practice among our staff and contractors and these are the people who deserve to be celebrated - so a huge thank you to everyone involved.”

The British Safety Council is a charity and one of world’s leading advocates of workplace health and safety operating in more than 50 countries with over 8,000 corporate members. In addition to presenting awards to deserving organisations, the Council offers a range of internationally validated audits and qualifications to members with the goal of helping companies raise their health and safety standards.

Chairman of Orion Group, Alan Savage said: “It is an honour to be recognised amongst the top companies in the UK. 2012 has been a highly successful year for Orion Group and we strive to further this success in 2013.”

Obaidul Karim Views Over Technology

Obaidul Karim’s Speech about technology relates to the technologies designed to duplicate and respond to the human voice. They have many uses. These include aid to the voice-disabled, the hearing-disabled, and the blind, along with communication with computers without a keyboard. They enhance game software and aid in marketing goods or services by telephone.

Orion Group Chairman said "Speech synthesis is the artificial production of human speech". A computer system used for this purpose is called a speech synthesizer, and can be implemented in software or hardware. A text-to-speech (TTS) system converts normal language text into speech; other systems render symbolic linguistic representations like phonetic transcriptions into speech. Synthesized speech can be created by concatenating pieces of recorded speech that are stored in a database. Systems differ in the size of the stored speech units; a system that stores phones or diphones provides the largest output range, but may lack clarity. For specific usage domains, the storage of entire words or sentences allows for high-quality output. Alternatively, a synthesizer can incorporate a model of the vocal tract and other human voice characteristics to create a completely “synthetic” voice output. The quality of a speech synthesizer is judged by its similarity to the human voice and by its ability to be understood. An intelligible text-to-speech program allows people with visual impairments or reading disabilities to listen to written works on a home computer. Many computer operating systems have included speech synthesizers since the early 1990s.Mr.Karim mentioned that speech recognition is the translation of spoken words into text. It is also known as “automatic speech recognition”, “ASR”, “computer speech recognition”, “speech to text”, or just “STT”. Speech recognition (SR) is technology that can translate spoken words into text. Some SR systems use “training” where an individual speaker reads sections of text into the SR system. These systems analyze the person’s specific voice and use it to fine tune the recognition of that person’s speech, resulting in more accurate transcription. Systems that do not use training are called “Speaker Independent” systems. Systems that use training are called “Speaker Dependent” systems. Speech recognition applications include voice user interfaces such as voice dialing (e.g., “Call home”), call routing (e.g., “I would like to make a collect call”), domestic appliance control, search (e.g., find a podcast where particular words were spoken), simple data entry (e.g., entering a credit card number), preparation of structured documents (e.g., a radiology report), speech-to-text processing (e.g., word processors or emails), and aircraft.

Obaidul Karim Owner Of orion group

The government has entered a deal with Orion Group to install three private coal-based power plants to add 1088MW power to the national grid.
Although there is a government-run coal-based power plant producing 250MW power at Barapukuria, this is the first move to get private firms to produce power from coal.
On Jan 29, the government struck a deal with India for installing a coal-based power plant with a capacity to produce 1030MW at Rampal in Bagherhat near the Sundarbans.
One of the new power plants will be set up at Mawa in Munsiganj to produce 522MW. Two other plants will be established at Anwara in Chittagong and in Khulna each with a capacity of generating 282.67MW.
Orion Group Managing Director Salman Obaidul Karim and Power Development Board (PDB) Secretary Md Azizul Islam signed the agreement at the Bidyut Bhaban.
The power plant at Mawa will go into operation in 45 months while the plants at Khulna and Chittagong will be built in 36 months.
The government will pay Tk 4.79 for per unit power produced by the Mawa plant and Tk 4.45 for power supplied from the other two plants.
Currently daily power production is 5,500MW against the demand of 7,000MW.
The Prime Minister's Adviser Tawfiq-e-Elahi Chowdhury, State Minister for Power Mohammad Enamul Hoque, Power Secretary Abul Kalam Azad, PDB Chairman ASM Alamgir Kabir and Orion Group Chairman Obaidul Karim were present at the ceremony.
"Many had feared whether it would be possible at all to establish power plant by importing coal. After overcoming all the challenges we are going to prove that through this agreement. I hope the plants will come into operation at the expected time," said advisor Chowdhury.
Chairman Karim said they will import coal from Australia and Indonesia and that reputed organisations have been employed to look into issues including building the plants and importing coal.
He was also hopeful about making the plants operational three months before schedule.
Power is being produced using five types of energy. About 80 percent of the daily power is being produced using gas, while furnace oil and diesel are used for producing 17 percent. Water and coal produces 3 percent.
After assuming power the government undertook a plan of raising daily power production by 15,000MW within 2016.

The term voice recognition refers to finding the identity of “who” is speaking, rather than what they are saying. Recognizing the speaker can simplify the task of translating speech in systems that have been trained on specific person’s voices or it can be used to authenticate or verify the identity of a speaker as part of a security process.
