Maximum permitted level of paper towels

However it may seem odd for a first article in a blog to be about paper towels, it definitely may happen. For past two week I was wondering what the hell I should write to my newly established blog. All this after being persuaded by my colleagues to establish one. What is the random reader going to think about myself, when I start my blog with a completely off-topic article (in regard to my professional background which, actually, remains hidden from the random reader).

So, to get started, at least somehow, I decided to make the first step by sharing a totally local problem at my blog, which is gonna be purely technical otherwise.

After a rather long discussion about the quality of cleaning in our premises (see www.alsoft.cz), I decided trying to solve at least one particular problem - overfilling of paper-towel supply bins that causes frequent disruption of paper towel, which, consequently, leads to higher paper-towel consumption and superfluous litter production.

Whereas it is not possible to easily upgrade the firmware of the cleaner to pro-actively detect and prevent such situations, the problem has to be overcame by an external directive which will be subsequently evaluated for efficiency. The following series of pictures demonstrates the precautionary measure taken:

To the interested reader who may encounter similar problems, I can supply a CorelDRAW source file of the warning sign (or high-res pictures).
