Printronix Auto ID Boosts Productivity and Versatility with Introduction of T6000e Thermal RFID Printer Series

Leave a comment


T6000e / T6000e RFID


BREA, Calif. (PRWEB)

Printronix Auto ID, Inc., a global leader in enterprise grade industrial printing solutions unveiled the new T6000e thermal barcode printer, an enhanced version of its popular T6000 printer series with new features and advanced RFID capabilities. The T6000e sets a new standard for productivity and versatility in fast-paced environments where speed, exceptional print quality and advanced features such as RFID are needed.

“The T6000e is the fourth product Printronix Auto ID has launched in the last 12 months and reflects our continued commitment to the AIDC printer market,” said Andy Edwards, Director of Product Management. “The upgrades to our midrange platform not only include 600 DPI printing but also RFID on both the 4” and 6” models allowing us to offer a solution for emerging wide-web printing and encoding applications. In addition, not only does the T6000e support standard and on-metal RFID labels and tags, but we’ve also significantly optimized the encoding and printing process making it ideal for high volume RFID applications.”

The dual flexibility of being able to encode and print on-metal and standard RFID labels and tags makes it the ideal solution for RFID asset tagging of tools and equipment used in manufacturing, supply chain, IT, healthcare, and service yard industries. On-metal tags typically include a foam insulator and a metal foil backing that makes them incompatible with most standard RFID printer/encoders, but the T6000e was engineered to handle these media with ease. And, because accuracy is critical in every application, the T6000e will back-up and completely overstrike RFID labels that fail to encode properly. The T6000e is also backwards compatible with existing T6000 applications.

Created for the enterprise market, the T6000e is engineered for industrial applications such as manufacturing, automotive, transportation, retail, and logistics. For optimal productivity, the printer offers 14 inches per second print speed, high-quality 600 dpi printing, advanced RFID features, and a complete suite of connectivity options.

Like all Printronix Industrial printers, the T6000e was built on the Printronix System Architecture (PSA) platform that combines exclusive features with a common set of building blocks to simplify printer replacement/installation and improve productivity. The printer comes with nine printer emulations for easy drop-in installation and has a large LCD color screen for easy operation. The T6000e is also available with PrintNet Enterprise, a remote printer management tool.

About Printronix Auto ID

Printronix Auto ID is a global leader in business-critical printing solutions; offering the most reliable assortment of industrial printers, supplies and parts in the industry. As a fully owned subsidiary of TSC, Printronix Auto ID functions as an independent business that is empowered to leverage its established leadership in thermal printing technologies.

Loma Linda University Health study finds tobacco use and air pollution exposure increase odds of tuberculosis by far greater than 50%

Leave a comment


Smoking is still very much an issue that contributes to tuberculosis, and that risk is compounded by air quality and life choices.


LOMA LINDA, Calif. (PRWEB)

A study recently published by researchers in both Loma Linda and Laos PDR found that respiratory health and rates of tuberculosis in low-income communities may be severely impacted by controllable external factors. Tuberculosis (TB) — a curable and preventable disease — is now the world’s leading cause of death from an infectious agent, surpassing HIV and AIDS.

The study — published online by the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health — found that, in Laos PDR, for every additional source of exposure to air pollution, the odds of TB go up 47 %. Sources of air pollution considered included exposure to smoked tobacco, secondhand tobacco smoke, and smoke from indoor cooking fires, burning crop waste and burning trash outside.

This study explored what exposure to multiple sources of air pollution did to impact rates of TB. Researchers hope the findings will lead to the engagement of multiple sectors of the society beyond healthcare — including agencies working on tobacco control, environmental health, policy makers and civil groups — in promotion of respiratory health.

“We often see the same issues in lower income communities here in the US,” said Anne Berit Petersen, PhD, MPH, RN assistant professor for Loma Linda University School of Nursing and the study’s lead author. “If we look at these factors in terms of poverty, we’re seeing a lot more avoidable cases of tuberculosis in poorer communities. Often the places with the poorest air quality have the most impoverished people,” she said.

The study reported that more than half of the world’s TB cases in 2017 came from the Western Pacific region. In Laos, “the high rates of tobacco use and use of polluting biomass fuels for cooking (e.g., wood, charcoal, crop waste, dung) represent significant risk factors for TB,” the study stated.

Titled, “Smoked Tobacco, Air Pollution, and Tuberculosis in Lao PDR: Findings from a National Sample,” the study focused on a population in Laos PDR.

The study, which was funded by grants from the National Institute of Health, included data from more than 9,700 subjects from across Laos PDR, representing more than 2,800 households, and the findings suggest that the risk of poor respiratory health would be decreased greatly if air quality were improved. Petersen says these findings may compare to similar concerns in San Bernardino County and California.

“While the types of air pollution may vary, we’ve seen similar relationships here — people living in communities with poorer air quality, from, for example, traffic-related air pollution, also have higher rates of tuberculosis,” Petersen said. “Smoking is still very much an issue that contributes to tuberculosis, and that risk is compounded by air quality and life choices.”

Attorney from Prominent Chicago Law Firm Joins UCG as Chief Legal Officer

Leave a comment


Eli Korer, Chief Legal Officer at Union Cannabis Group

Eli Korer, corporate attorney at an AM Law 100 law firm, joins Union Cannabis Group team

“The cannabis industry is edging toward its next great growth phase… UCG is one of those companies that will stand apart from the rest, and I am excited to be a part of the team,” Korer said.


SANTA ROSA, Calif. (PRWEB)

Union Cannabis Group Inc (UCG), a leading manufacturing and consulting company in the cannabis industry, expanded its executive team this week with the announcement of corporate attorney Eli Korer as its Chief Legal Officer (CLO).

Prior to joining UCG as CLO, Korer practiced law at an AM Law 100 law firm as a member of the corporate department where he represented public and private companies, nationally and internationally, in a variety of corporate matters including corporate formation, governance and compliance, capital markets, financing, and securities, mergers, stock and asset acquisitions and divestitures. Korer also has extensive experience in commercial transactions including supply chain, distribution, intellectual property asset and licensing matters, and real estate transactions. His experience also extends to project finance and nonprofit organizations.

A graduate of Boston University and Valparaiso University Law School, Korer served as a clerk at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Department of Justice. “I am excited about having the opportunity, and great good fortune, to work with some of the world’s best cannabis extractors, operators, intellectual property licensors and consultants,” said Korer. “My interest was piqued by the cannabis industry’s potential to grow, produce, and deliver products to business and consumers that will better the quality of lives across the world.”

UCG is an expert in the fields of laboratory design, equipment specification, hydrocarbon and ethanol extraction, and product formulation. UCG also owns and operates the award-winning brand Dabstract, a connoisseur recreational brand that is available throughout the state of Washington and is currently expanding to four additional states. “Having Eli onboard has positioned UCG to expand our licensing program for more rapid deployment,” said Derek Thiel, COO of UCG. “Our ability to accelerate deal flow and execute has been very valuable for our team and our licensing partners.”

Korer will also broaden UCG’s scope of critical business and legal strategy consulting services. “The cannabis industry, while fast moving, is still very fragmented in terms of the legal nexus between commercial and regulatory concerns,” said Sushanta Parikh, CEO of UCG. “Eli’s addition to the UCG team pairs deep legal and corporate experience with best in class industry acumen. This brings potent value to our consulting clients.”

Korer sees this as a pivotal time in the evolution of the legal cannabis market. “The cannabis industry is edging toward its next great growth phase – the moment that will define the successful companies by their ability to consistently produce effective, high-quality and safe products, and develop and close outstanding commercial transactions that create true value,” he said. “UCG is one of those companies that will stand apart from the rest, and I am excited to be a part of the team.”

About UCG:

Union Cannabis Group, INC (UCG) offers design and installation services for cannabis extraction facilities, manufacturing process training, product formulation, and brand licensing. UCG serves clients in multiple states, with clients including Phat Panda (Grow Op Farms, LLC), Washington’s leading cannabis producer. UCG designed and currently operates their laboratory, which is the largest processing facility in the state. Dabstract, a premier brand of recreational cannabis extracts, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of UCG.
