AltaPointe Health Increases 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline Staff, Receiving 400 Calls per Month

Leave a comment


“We are seeing a wide range of severity levels,” explained Vickie Charpie, AltaPointe’s assistant coordinator for the 988 crisis line. “From people who are calling in just having those suicidal thoughts, to people who have attempted.”

AltaPointe’s 988 crisis line team has received calls from people of all ages, including children.

“Especially with school back in session now, children may be experiencing an incident in school, being bullied or just having a bad day,” said Charpie. “We also hear from teachers and school staff who are more aware of what’s happening with our children.”

The 988 Crisis Line isn’t just for someone experiencing emotional stress. Loved ones or concerned individuals are encouraged to call, as well.

“We will work to empower them with the tools and understanding they need to help them encourage the person in crisis to reach out for help,” said Charpie.

Ultimately, the 988 crisis team works to create a safety plan for the individual in need and connect them with resources available in their community.

“In our area, we can connect them with AltaPointe’s outpatient services, our psychiatric hospitals, or our Behavioral Health Crisis Center,” explained Charpie. “And if they are outside of our counties, then we’re going to find the closest community mental health center.”

With permission, they may even do follow-up calls with high-risk callers within 24 hours to ensure the safety plan and the resources are working.

“It’s not just a one-call and done. You will connect with someone who cares and will help you through this time,” explained Charpie.

ABOUT ALTAPOINTE

Priority Payouts,” A New Program Which Allows Artists To Customize Royalty Recoupments With Collaborators

Leave a comment


Through Splits: Priority Payouts, TuneCore allows creators the ability to customize exactly how and in what order, revenue is divided and paid out for each track. A key advantage of the program is the ability for artists to specify a set amount to be delivered to a collaborator in full before percentage-based splits are delivered to additional parties. While Priority Payouts can be used by self-releasing artists to recoup recording expenses before paying their collaborators, the feature also offers price-sensitive artists a means to more effectively negotiate with producers—the largest proportion of collaborators among self-releasing artists—by ensuring they will be paid a set amount from royalties before any other involved party, including the primary artist themselves.

As part of TuneCore’s Splits offering, Priority Payouts are available to any artist on a paid UNLIMITED plan, while those who utilize TuneCore’s free New Artist plan can receive splits for just $7.99 a year through the Splits Collaborator add-on.

By offering self-releasing creators greater flexibility through Splits and Priority Payouts, TuneCore continues to provide artists with innovative tools to help facilitate collaboration and sustain their careers, allowing them to spend less time focused on complicated administrative tasks and more time making great music.

MobileDemand Launches AI-Powered Multi-Mode Mobile Dimensioning System

Leave a comment


“The Dimensioning in the Air concept challenges the outdated idea that dimensioning systems are only stationary units that reside in a designated space in the warehouse,” said Matt Miller, MobileDemand President and CTO. “xDIM enables a workflow that was once thought to be impossible – capturing dimensions at the product’s location, even from an order picking lift at the highest level of shelving. There is no longer a need to pull each product and take it to-and-from a stationary dimensioner, which is often a time consuming, inefficient and frustrating process.”

A challenge for enterprises is the significant increase in warehouse volume in recent years, with growth expected to continue. This trend, known as SKU proliferation, adds hundreds of new items per month causing constant strain on existing warehouse space. Accurate dimensional data helps to optimize existing space utilization, which plays a major role in enterprise strategic execution priorities by avoiding or delaying warehouse expansion.

Multi-Mode Drives Dimensioning in the Air Capability
The software, running on a rugged tablet with an Intel® RealSense™ 3D camera, offers four dimensioning modes: Standard and large boxes, irregular items and pallets.

Boxes
The standard version of xDIM captures box dimensioning from 3-inches to 4-feet (48-inches) and is certified by NTEP (an independent third-party certification by the National Council of Weights and Measures) to provide dimensions within a half inch (0.5-inch) accuracy of the box’s true dimensions. The xDIM 2-Step method dimensions large boxes up to 8-feet (96 inches) such as televisions, appliances and furniture in just seconds.

Irregular Items
xDIM for irregular items and other non-cuboidal objects uses Computer Vision to detect the ground plane and distinguish between the floor and object to be dimensioned. Dimensions are determined via an innovative bounding box outline, which can group multiple objects into one box.

Pallets
Using AI and ML, xDIM for pallets detects and classifies a pallet in order to determine dimensions, all from an edge computing rugged tablet. The software can capture cleanly stacked, square payload pallets as well as non-square payloads, such as barrels or stacks of piping, up to 8-feet tall and across.

xScale S200
For added convenience, xDIM is fully compatible with MobileDemand’s portable, battery-powered Bluetooth xScale S200. Collapsible arms, which open to an innovative Y-shape on which items are placed for weighing, make it easy to carry and use, with a belt holster available to work hands-free, ensuring the scale is conveniently available when needed. Its lightweight, compact form was designed for personal portability, enabling workers to easily move with the scale throughout a facility and measure item weight without having to continually return to a stationary scale, saving substantial time. The xScale S200 can be used as a stand-alone device, integrated into line-of-business applications, or as part of xDIM to collect all pertinent product data.

xDIM is sold as a bundled offering with MobileDemand rugged xTablets as well as Microsoft® Designed for Surface® Certified xCases for Surface series tablets.

xDIM for standard and large boxes, irregular items and pallets is now available.

About MobileDemand
MobileDemand is a technology leader in rugged tablets and mobile computing solutions, committed to bringing more functionality and capabilities to the mobile workforce. Specializing in the design of integrated productivity tools for barcode scanning, point-of-sale, magnetic stripe reading, PIN pad entry, 3D and thermal imaging, dimension measurement, and mounting hardware for myriad on-the-go applications, the company is driving the future of mobile productivity.

BYLT Basics Speeds Up Product Go-To-Market and Centralizes Product Data in One Location: Centric PLM

Leave a comment


The company needed to improve product development efficiency to keep pace with their growing collections. There were challenges with their process as the business was expanding at an accelerated rate. Karoline Harvey, Technical Design Manager at BYLT Basics gives an example. “Style numbers can get lost when you’re manually assigning them, and then as they go through the system, a letter or number would get changed. Sometimes, the vendors didn’t even use the style number. We are centralizing a permanent number for each style. And follow that through the whole lifecycle of the product.”

“We’d like to keep all of our specs together in one spot. You can update something in an Excel file, but then it never gets updated in the actual tech pack, or it doesn’t get updated from the factory. Centric PLM is an easy way for us to be honest with ourselves and make sure that the spec is true to what our product is.”

The company releases product continuously. Harvey says, “Right now we are mainly direct-to-consumer so people buy off of our website. We develop in two seasons, but since we’re DTC, we drop product all throughout the year. We have a lot of flexibility with that, depending on when we feel the products need to drop.”

Centric PLM came highly recommended by an international factory. Harvey says, “We really only explored Centric, to be honest. After we had the demo, all of us really loved it and seeing the many industry partners Centric works with in the apparel space, we were pretty much sold. We saw all the capabilities. What really resonates with us is the single source of truth. Having that information housed in one area was of main importance to us.”

Implementation was on time and on budget. Harvey says, “The training and onboarding process was amazing. I think the major benefit of the training was being really involved; I was active in our calls, did the homework, really tested out what Centric taught us and made sure we modified anything we needed to work for our business. My biggest takeaway is the time we put in on the front end, made the transition into actual implementation so much smoother. We had all of our views built out, and everything dialed in before we started putting in tech packs. It’s been a really smooth process to get all the data in because we were all trained and had the system prepped.”

Harvey lists some expected benefits. “When I started at BYLT, I created an Excel illustrator structure for tech packs, and now that we’re in Centric, that’s even more advanced. QC will be able to reference fully built out tech packs for inspections, and keep the factories honest with respect to construction and all the details that we call out. It’s been a progression for us to have something to actually judge our product against and make sure it is right when we get it in the warehouse. Also, it’ll really help speed up making new products because all that data will already be in there—grades for specs, existing fabrics—all that will be easy to import for new styles. Product creation will be a lot quicker.”

President and CEO of Centric Software, Chris Groves says, “It is a pleasure to play a part in this fast-growing startup. We are glad that BYLT Basics has chosen Centric PLM as their digital transformation foundation and are looking forward to working with them in the years to come.”
