Phoenix, AZ, June 09, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Cellbusters, a leading provider of advanced wireless solutions and security products to the domestic and international wireless telecommunications industry, releases the Cell Phone detector and Zone protector for jamming the signals and detecting the cell phone device signals in the govt. and military area, prisons, casinos, retail, warehousing etc.

Zone detector is a receiver aimed at the booming M2M installation market. The zone protector provides installers a real time display on an interactive map of your facility and their respective signal strength or RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator). Zone protector identifies RSSI, carrier network and type of 3G band (CDMA, GSM, etc.) providing installers with enough information to make key installation site decisions as well as to install on premise or as a cloud service delivered by Cellbusters. This prevents installers and electricians from relying on consumer grade cell phones for important install decisions.

Since the cell phone detector or zone protector contains multiple radios and multi-band antennae for several U.S. Network carriers, and can be used as single devices or with a network, instead of installers juggling between several cell phones to the best coverage for their M2M site, a single Zone protector can provide all the data needed for CDMA, GSM, UTMS, GPRS, 3G, 4G networks. In addition, the zone protector has an OLED display, Protect embassies, classified areas, government buildings, secure conference rooms, SCIFs, and any cell-phone-restricted areas.

The Zone Protector, cell phone detector alert options includes voice announcement, visual or graphical alert, or silent logging once the suitable frequency is detected. The RF Protector can be used as a standalone device or can be added to the network too, depending on requirements or restrictions. Its detection area radius adjustable for small to larger rooms.

Las Vegas, NV, June 09, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Lamp-based projectors are being challenged by all-laser and laser-phosphor projectors. This transition to solid state sources will have a big impact on manufacturers and the uses of projection in a host of professional applications. At the upcoming Display Summit, June 16-17 just prior to InfoComm in Las Vegas, an entire day will be devoted to understanding the technology, markets, threats and opportunities for this technology.

In the first session titled Laser Projection, a presentation describing the landscape for laser projection will kick off the session. This will be followed by a discussion on the status of regulatory issues needed to market a laser-based projector. Then, we will hear about a new laser projection system from China and a novel laser projection/screen system suitable for head-up displays.

Digital Cinema is a market where laser-based projectors are now entering the market. But the lead providers, Christie, Barco and NEC, have radically different technical and market entry approaches. This session provides an opportunity to hear from all three companies on their approach to the market.

Laser devices are key elements to the success of this technology, so the third session will provide updates on laser devices being offered by Modulight, Necsel and Osram. The first two offer RGB laser solutions while Osram offers a laser-phosphor device. This session will offer insight into trends and roadmaps for lasers in projection.

The final session will focus on laser-phosphor projectors. These are systems that incorporate a phosphor wheel with green or yellow phosphors in combination with laser sources (typically a blue laser). But there are multiple approaches here that produce differing results in terms of performance and price.

One of the key issues within the industry is the maturity of these products and their ability to meet the needs and requirements of real world applications. To get straight to the heart of this issue, we have organized a presentation and discussion session as well as a special demo. This demo will feature companies showing their lamp-based projector right next to their laser-phosphor projector – all running the same content for easy comparison.

This session will also include a presentation by Lang AG describing their evaluation of the lamp vs. laser-phosphor projectors, followed by presentation from Sony, Panasonic and NEC.

An evening reception and networking period will also afford plenty of time to look at the demos and develop business relationships.

Display Summit 2014 is taking place on Monday, June 16 through Tuesday, June 17 in the Las Vegas Hotel. The event is focused on InfoComm participants and offers a convenient venue to learn more about the professional AV industry. Covering the two days before the InfoComm exhibition opens, it is convenient for InfoComm visitors to join this conference for some view behind the scenes of what is next in the professional display markets.

Vancouver, Canada, June 09, 2014 --(PR.com)-- The 2014 TechXchange at Singapore International Water Week (SIWW) announced the winners of the BlueTech Awards from its TechShowcase session today. In this year’s competition, Singaporean-based Medad Technologies received the BlueTruffle™ Award and American-based Puralytics won the Disrupt-o-Meter™ Award.

Companies participated in the TechShowcase at the TechXchange, which provided a platform for innovative companies to connect with potential partners and investors from around the world. Overall, this technology showcase featured 11 start-up and growth stage companies that presented their disruptive water technologies and business pitch. Delegates then rated each company on the strength of a company’s market strategy for the BlueTruffle Award and the disruptive potential of its technology for the Disrupt-o-Meter Award.

BlueTruffle Award winner Medad Technologies offers a hybrid multiple effect distillation (MED) and adsorption desalination (AD) technology, which utilizes low-grade waste heat to reduce thermal desalination costs by up to 50%. This is a particularly important innovation as it addresses the expanding market need for desalination technologies and helps address energy footprint issues with current systems.

Joseph Ng, CEO, accepted the award on behalf of Medad Technologies.

“Medad is honored and grateful to win the BlueTruffle Award,” said Ng. “We believe this important recognition will help to support the company’s go-to-market strategy.”

Disrupt-o-meter Award winner Puralytics was recognized for its light-activated nanotechnology water purification, implemented in three product lines, the LED powered Shield system, the floating sunlight activated LilyPad, and the SolarBag, a personal water purifier used in 59 countries. As a passive purification process, the Solar Bag provides a cost effective solution for many uses, including outdoor recreation, emergency preparedness, military individual water purifiers (IWPs) and in the developing world.

Mark Owen, CEO, Puralytics said, “We are honored by this recognition from industry leaders and investors of our innovative technology and are excited by the new partnerships resulting from this awareness.”

Paul O’Callaghan, CEO of BlueTech Research, remarked that the line-up of Singaporean and international companies at the 2014 TechXchange represented an exciting cross-section of what’s new and up and coming in the world of water innovation. As a co-host of the Innovation Pavilion Workshop with Rethink Events and Singapore PUB, BlueTech was involved in the rigorous selection process to determine which companies could participate in the TechShowcase and Innovation Pavilion.

“It was truly an honor to be surrounded by such a dynamic group of companies in both the TechShowcase and Innovation Pavilion,” said O’Callaghan. “It showcases how technology is evolving across a diverse range of areas, including advanced biotechnology, nanotech membranes, micro-fluidic electro-desalination and online sensors. The Innovation Pavilion provided a glimpse into how these technologies will not only meet the current needs of the market, but shape and impact it in the medium and long-term.”

As winners of the BlueTech Awards, Puralytics and Medad Technologies will be featured in the 2014 WEFTEC Innovation Showcase in New Orleans, USA in late September. Winners will also be provided a one-year subscription to the BlueTech Intelligence Service, featuring analyst-directed advisory services, technology assessments, and a suite of BlueTech product offerings.

Omaha, NE, June 10, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Today, Quantum Workplace, a leading employee engagement technology company, announced the official release of Wyygo. Revolutionizing traditional exit surveys, Wyygo gathers feedback from both exiting employees and their remaining coworkers to uncover hidden turnover truths.

“The hard and soft costs of employee turnover are massive,” said Phil Haussler, Director of Product Development. “Stopping turnover and retaining top talent is a key competitive advantage. And yet, everyone agrees that the way we attempt to understand and stop turnover—via traditional exit surveys or interviews—is broken. Few people respond, and if they do, they’re unlikely to share any hard truths for fear of burning bridges.”

Unlike traditional exit interviews, Wyygo results in high response rates and high-quality data. Beta Wyygo users experienced an average 80 percent response rate, 60 percentage-points higher than traditional exit surveys. In addition, by including the exiting employee’s peers, organizations receive a fuller, more accurate view of turnover.

Mike Hiffa, Executive Vice President of Human Resources at Jackson Healthcare and a beta Wyygo user since late 2013, has uncovered the benefits of leveraging peer feedback.

“The powerful thing about Wyygo is that it lets our remaining associates talk candidly to the manager,” said Hiffa. “When they hear feedback from us in HR—or even from departing employees—it’s easy to push it to the wayside. But when the manager hears from their remaining team members, it’s a wake up call they can’t ignore.”

Moreover, turnover data collected via traditional exit interviews is rarely analyzed in aggregate, due to the time and effort required to manage it. Wyygo gives organizations the opportunity to analyze aggregate turnover data quickly, all in one tool. Detailed and user-friendly reporting includes a concise, actionable summary of each exit, as well as top-level analysis of trends over time with the ability to segment by demographic and impact. This insight gives organizations the opportunity to develop an actionable, fact-driven retention strategy.

Wyygo is an innovative addition to Quantum Workplace’s engagement analytics platform. Quantum Workplace’s suite of products helps organizations leverage feedback throughout the employee lifecycle and harness it for good. Some offerings include a comprehensive and customizable engagement survey, internal and external benchmarks, reporting and analytics, manager tools, action tracking, and targeted learning.

Quantum Workplace launched Wyygo beta in 2013. Based off market and user feedback, various improvements were made throughout the year. Some of the user-driven enhancements included: the ability to analyze voluntary, involuntary, and retirement feedback separately; the ability to include exiter feedback; the ability to compare and contrast exiter and peer feedback; and the implementation of customizable and mobile-friendly surveys.

About Quantum Workplace
Quantum Workplace delivers smart tools for achieving and recognizing workplace awesomeness. When work is awesome, employees are engaged, clients are loyal, and business is good. Quantum Workplace serves more than 5,000 organizations annually through employee engagement surveys, action-planning tools, and leadership assessment.

Monroe, NC, June 10, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Knowing the “tricks of the trade” has inspired the creation of the newly formed company, No Risk Automation. Asking the right questions from the beginning drives a much more precise selection of appropriate automation solutions. This knowledge and experience-based approach cannot be duplicated or Google searched. It requires having walked in the shoes of the AGV vendors AND the AGV automation purchaser.

As a sales manager for several automated guided vehicle (AGV) companies there was an intention: sell a particular brand of AGVs. Performance was measured by number of vehicles sold per month, per quarter, per year, year over year, and at a measured profitability. It took courage to say to the customer and to C-level AGV management, “Sorry this isn’t the right product for you.”

Representing an AGV vendor is often a conflict of interest. The end-user customer’s interests may not align with the AGV vendor’s interests. The only way to avoid these conflicts is a vendor agnostic approach to automation.

Rather than entering an automation conversation with a pre-designated solution, there are steps to clearly recognize the best-practices, the leanest solutions, the most rapid return-on-investment (ROI), while avoiding the landmines and confusing games played by many AGV salespeople.

About John Hayes and NoRiskAutomation
John Hayes is a solutions-finder for the material handling industry. For more than twenty years he has been evaluating, designing, developing, and implementing innovative software and hardware solutions for businesses in high-volume retail, wholesale (B2B), and direct-to-consumer (B2C) distribution systems. Hayes is a 2014 Supply & Demand Chain Executive “Pros to Know” recipient with vast and specific expertise in automated guided vehicles (AGVs). This reputation has resulted in hundreds of systems for highly productive and cost-effective fulfillment centers and manufacturing plant designs. Hayes uses a vendor agnostic approach at NoRiskAutomation, eliminating bias while avoiding the land mines and understanding the challenges. NoRiskAutomation utilizes a unique 4-Step process which ensures that sound and smart technologies are utilized by clients worldwide. Having worked for some of the leading AGV manufacturers, Hayes brings a wisdom and insight to customers, who are often unaware of the pressured sales strategies and hidden costs used by AGV vendors.

East Granby, CT, June 10, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Berlys asked Pcdata to collaborate in a project to improve order preparation for frozen products. Temperatures of -28°C were one of the big challenges to automating the operation. Pcdata’s hardware for freezer environments is installed to withstand the operating temperatures. The large, highly visible and tactile pushbuttons facilitate the operators to work with gloves and appropriate clothing. The implementation of the Pick to Light systems resulted in an error level below the companies targets, productivity has more than doubled.

Berlys is a modern foods enterprise specializing in the production and marketing of pre-cooked bread and frozen bakery, pastries, and patisserie products. A front-line company thanks to its seven production plants with cutting-edge technology, two large logistic centers, thirty-one regional offices and seven hundred distribution points, able to supply more than three hundred different products every morning to more than 20,000 clients.

Order preparation in conditions far below zero is not an easy task. Operators can only spend limited time in the freezer and moving around is not as easy and agile as under normal conditions. The special LED pick displays for freezer environments are prepared for these conditions and allow users to acknowledge operations without having to bother too much about their movements. Applied components and materials have been selected based on their specific properties, ensuring functionality and durability.

The installed Pcdata Pick to Light systems at Berlys have multiple product locations allocated in five zones. Operators move the orders through zones manually; a trolley is being used to gather the products. Each zone has different product locations; the products are allocated based on their speed of rotation. Fast movers are allocated right in front of the operators; products with less rotation are placed on lower levels or even behind the operators.

Pcdata USA Pick to Light systems are part of a lean process, offering shorter throughput times, fewer errors, significant cost savings; additionally the result is increased customer satisfaction, a faster ability to supply products, and process transparency. Traditional picking methods are one of highest expenses when operating a warehouse. Pcdata USA lowers that cost through leading edge Pick to Light systems. Pcdata USA installation versus implementation products are experiencing huge growth in hundreds of business sectors throughout North America.

Pcdata USA (http://www.pcdatausa.com/contacts/contacts-us) is a different type of Pick to Light because unlike expensive WMS solutions that require lengthy implementations, PickStar and Distrib XE are quick one-day installations. Pcdata USA is a global logistics systems leader for supply chain automation. Pcdata USA offers affordable out-of-the-box warehouse optimization solutions. Contact Pcdata USA at (855) 844-1086.

Cupertino, CA, June 10, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Narayan Laksham, founder and CEO of Ultriva, Inc., a leading supply chain execution software company, discussed in the company blog how Ultriva can easily integrate with Oracle EBS. Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) is a fully integrated, comprehensive suite of business applications for the enterprise. Ultriva solutions integrate Oracle EBS, quickly and cost effectively. This effectively leverages and extends the investments manufacturing firms have made in Oracle. Ultriva has identified, designed, tested, and deployed all of the standard interfaces required to bring the system up to speed, bring it online, and feed information to the Oracle ERP system. Ultriva is a validated Oracle Gold Partner.

Manufacturing companies can extend existing business systems to accomplish one or more of the following:

· Gain End to End Supply Chain Visibility (E2ESCV)
· Reduce your lead time by moving to a Demand Driven Manufacturing model
· Build trust in your supply chain through collaboration with suppliers and customers
· Migrate to electronic Kanban replenishment with suppliers for having the right part at the right place
· Increase your customer service levels by moving to consumption driven replenishment with your customers – OEMs, Distributors or Retailers.

Laksham noted, “Ultriva has achieved broad acceptance. We count dozens of the world’s leading manufacturers in our customer base. We are deployed at over 200 plants in over 20 countries. More than 8500 suppliers collaborate with their customers over Ultriva on a daily basis. Let us help you realize your supply chain goals utilizing and extending your Oracle EBS.”

Gothenburg, Sweden, June 10, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Climate-KIC, the EU’s main climate innovation initiative, is set to kick-off its activities in Sweden this week with a conference at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg.

Following the launch of Climate-KIC’s Denmark-based Nordic centre earlier this year by EU climate commissioner Connie Hedegaard, Chalmers University of Technology will introduce Climate-KIC to Sweden as part of the initiative’s expansion across Scandinavia.

On Thursday, 12 June, the Lindholmen conference centre will host an audience of entrepreneurs, researchers and students. Climate-KIC Chief Executive Officer Mary Ritter and director of Climate-KIC’s Nordic centre Susanne Pedersen will take part in the event, as will Gothenburg mayor Anneli Hulthén and Chalmers president Karin Markides.

Climate-KIC’s expansion into Sweden comes as it is scaling up its presence across Europe this year. The organisation has recently unveiled a series of new climate innovation programmes worth over €100 million with corporate and academic partners across Europe. The programmes are aimed at dealing with the impact of global warming and stopping further climate change.

Mary Ritter, Climate-KIC Chief Executive Officer, comments: “Climate-KIC was thrilled to launch our Nordic centre in February this year and enlarge our innovation base to include this key region of Europe. I’m now delighted to be part of this first Gothenburg Symposium to highlight the important contribution that Chalmers makes to our European community, and I look forward to the growth and development of the Swedish partnership cluster within our Nordic centre, built on this excellent foundation.”

Chalmers involvement

One of the new Climate-KIC programmes that Chalmers participates in is the Building Technologies Accelerator, of which a new ‘living lab’ at the Chalmers Johanneberg campus is an important part. The multimillion programme brings together multidisciplinary living lab teams across Europe to address the climate impact of new building technologies and accelerate the potential of low carbon products and services in the built environment.

Living labs are buildings to test technology prototypes in real-life environments, the people living or working in a living lab are part of the prototype testing. By conducting tests with actual building users and in real climate conditions, researchers can evaluate the performance of new products in a more realistic way.

Chalmers is also a partner in new Climate-KIC programmes on CO2 re-utilisation and sustainable cities.

Scaling up climate innovation

Climate-KIC is partially funded by the European Commission through its European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) and receives financial and in-kind support from over 200 business partners, blue-chip corporations, universities and public bodies across Europe.

Climate-KIC is admitting more entrepreneurs than ever into its start-up accelerator this year – which is now the world’s largest climate-specific accelerator. The EU effort also offers more courses for professionals in 2014 in addition to its existing programmes for Master and PhD students.

The initiative is also set to increase its ties with global partners, connecting Europe with major developing markets in key carbon-producing nations such as China and Brazil. Climate-KIC is expected to represent Europe’s climate innovation community on the international stage throughout the year.

About Climate-KIC

Climate-KIC is the EU’s main climate innovation initiative. It is Europe’s largest public-private innovation partnership focused on mitigating and adapting to climate change. Climate-KIC consists of companies, academic institutions and the public sector.

The organisation has its headquarters in London, UK, and leverages its centres across Europe to support start-up companies, to bring together partners on innovation projects and to educate students to bring about a connected, creative transformation of knowledge and ideas into products and services that help mitigate and adapt to climate change.

Climate-KIC is one of the Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs) created in 2010 by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), the EU body tasked with creating sustainable European growth while dealing with the global challenges of our time.

Nordic Centre

Climate-KIC’s Denmark-based Nordic centre was launched in February 2014 and allows start-up entrepreneurs, businesses, climate professionals, students and government officials from across Scandinavia to join Climate-KIC’s European partnership to work on innovative solutions for the cause and effects of climate change.

Aside from Sweden’s Chalmers University of Technology, the Technical University of Denmark, the University of Copenhagen and two of Denmark’s largest manufacturing companies – Grundfos and VELUX Group – and the City of Copenhagen will collaborate through the centre to tackle climate change and create green jobs.

The centre is embedded in the Technical University of Denmark’s Lyngby campus – 15 kilometres north of Copenhagen – and will function as a hub for Climate-KIC’s activities in the Nordic countries.
