FoodLogiQ to Provide Insight on Traceability at FDA’s “New Era of Smarter Food Safety” Public Meeting in Washington, DC

“We look forward to collaborating with our colleagues from across the country as we rise to the challenge of ensuring safe food for all.” – Sean O’Leary, FoodLogiQ CEO

DURHAM, N.C. (PRWEB)
October 17, 2019

Members of the senior leadership team from FoodLogiQ, the leading provider of food safety, traceability, and supply chain transparency software, will travel to Washington, DC, on Monday, October 21 to provide comment at the FDA Public Meeting “A New Era of Smarter Food Safety.” The highly-anticipated event kicks off an initiative that focuses on food traceability, digital technology and evolving food business models.

According to Dr. Norman (Ned) Sharpless, acting FDA Commissioner, “This new initiative is intended to build on FDA’s efforts to implement the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act by leveraging, among other things, the use of new and emerging technologies, as well as new approaches to some of the food system’s biggest food safety challenges.”

FoodLogiQ CEO Sean O’Leary will attend the FDA meeting, as well as Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer Katy Jones, and Vice President of Supply Chain Strategy and Insights Julie McGill. During the open public comment portion of the program, McGill will speak on behalf of FoodLogiQ, sharing commentary on the topic of traceability. McGill is an industry expert on the subject, as she previously spent over 15 years with GS1 US. There she led the Foodservice GS1 US Standards Initiative, working with manufacturers, distributors, operators and supply chain partners to increase efficiencies and build a foundation for traceability and supply chain visibility through the use of GS1 standards. McGill was recently selected as one of the “Five Food Logistics Champions You Need to Know” by Food Logistics Magazine.

“FoodLogiQ is honored to have the opportunity to share our intricate knowledge of the food supply chain, as well as best practices regarding whole chain traceability during this monumental meeting with the FDA and other food industry leaders,” says O’Leary. “Since 2006, FoodLogiQ has been developing solutions that meet the increasingly complex global food chain issues, and we look forward to collaborating with our colleagues from across the country as we rise to the challenge of ensuring safe food for all.”

End-to-end traceability—the ability to trace a product from its original source all the way to market—is the foundation for any comprehensive food safety program and a critical piece of the FDA’s efforts to bring increased attention to this global issue. With a 16-year history of traceability experience, FoodLogiQ dominates the food safety space and is perfectly poised to play a key role in the FDA’s new initiative.

The Agenda

More than 100 FDA experts representing the Office of Food Policy and Response, the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, the Office of Regulatory Affairs, the Center for Veterinary Medicine, and several individuals from the Office of the Commissioner participated in brainstorming sessions to determine the most critical topics for the meeting discussion. Those include:

Tech-enabled Traceability and Foodborne Outbreak Response

Smarter Tools and Approaches for Prevention

New Business Models and Retail Modernization

Food Safety Culture

The FDA’s goal for the meeting is to engage stakeholders and to foster a dialogue on how to most effectively prepare for the work that lies ahead as part of the New Era of Smarter Food Safety. In early 2020, FDA plans to release a blueprint that outlines critical steps to protect public health and keep pace with the ever-changing global food supply chain.

Great River Technology becomes a SOSA member

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (PRWEB)
October 18, 2019

Great River Technology (GRT) announces its membership with Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA).

GRT, the global leader in ARINC 818 and HOTLink II™ products, announced their membership with the SOSA consortium further deepening industry-wide relationships and leveraging the proven pedigree of ARINC 818 in the cockpit to other high-speed sensors and components that require a robust, low-latency, high bandwidth transport protocol.

The SOSA Consortium is creating open system reference architectures applicable to military and commercial sensor systems and a business model that balances stakeholder interests. The architectures employ modular design and use widely supported, consensus-based, non-proprietary standards. Originally an initiative under The Open Group FACE™ Consortium, the SOSA Consortium enables government and industry to collaboratively develop open standards and best practices to enable, enhance, and accelerate the deployment of affordable, capable, interoperable sensor systems.

“Originally, ARINC 818 was intended for cockpit displays. In the last few years, we have seen the protocol adopted for cameras, heads-up displays, enhanced vision and degraded environment displays, and now high-speed EOIR and radar applications. The features that make ARINC 818 good for cockpit displays such as robust error checking, low-overhead and low latency, and high bandwidth, along with a proven pedigree with millions of hours in hundreds of aircraft make it ideal for sensors. We are looking forward to working with SOSA and its members to evaluate if ARINC 818 makes sense to be part of the standard.” says Paul Grunwald, Chief Systems Architect at GRT.

Waggl is honored to be recognized by the San Francisco Business Times, alongside some of the most successful and well-respected companies in the Bay Area

“Waggl is dedicated to making work more human for our employees and our clients, and we pride ourselves on building our organization from the inside out with an emphasis on our culture and employee experiences,” said Michael Papay, Co-founder and CEO, Waggl.

SAUSALITO, Calif. (PRWEB)
October 18, 2019

Waggl, the leading platform for real-time feedback powered by Employee Voice, today announced that it has earned a spot on the San Francisco Business Times’ Fast 100 list, placing #15 of the 100 fastest-growing private companies in the Bay Area.

“Waggl is dedicated to making work more human for our employees and our clients, and we pride ourselves on building our organization from the inside out with an emphasis on our culture and employee experiences,” said Michael Papay, Co-founder and CEO, Waggl. “We believe if we do those things well, it translates into a great product, trustworthy brand, superior customer focus, and ultimately strong performance and shareholder return. We are honored to be recognized by the San Francisco Business Times, alongside some of the most successful and well-respected companies in the Bay Area, and we view this accolade as another significant validation of the value of elevating Employee Voice in the workplace.”

Every year the Business Times puts together a list of the fastest growing private companies in the Bay Area, including privately held companies headquartered in the Bay Area, which is defined as Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco and San Mateo counties, and the city of Palo Alto. The 2019 list ranks the Bay Area’s fastest-growing private companies by percent growth in net revenue from 2016 to 2018. The companies on the list span a diverse mix of industries — many from the tech world, but also construction and design, real estate, financial services, biotech, advertising, consulting, consumer products and retail.

Waggl was recently ranked 151 on the 2019 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest growing private companies in the United States, with three-year revenue growth of 2482 percent, placing 26 within California-based companies, 19 within software companies, and 10 within San Francisco companies. The company was named as “Employee Engagement Vendor of the Year” by the 2019 North American Employee Engagement Awards, recognized as a Top Workplace of 2019 by the Bay Area Newsgroup, and by San Francisco Business Times/Silicon Valley Business Journal as one of the Best Places to Work, earning the #2 ranking for wellness and the #10 spot for smallest companies.

Waggl catalyzes real-time actionable dialogue by crowdsourcing and prioritizing Employee Voice around critical business topics like culture transformation, strategy alignment and employee experience. Waggl delivers actionable insights to leaders, managers and teams by ensuring that individual voices are heard, and by building engagement and cultural alignment through meaningful inclusion and participation in a transparent dialogue.

In order to keep pace with the constant change and other challenges that come with rapid growth, Waggl maintains a strong focus on building an agile culture and great employee experience by providing a work environment in which all individuals are treated fairly and respectfully and can contribute fully to the organization’s success. Waggl believes that creating an open, transparent forum where people can participate in important discussions about their own workplace leads to greater engagement and productivity, a shared sense of purpose, and a clearer path of action.

“We can’t imagine a better place to grow our business than the San Francisco Bay Area,” said Alex Kinnebrew, CMO and Head of Strategy, Waggl. “Waggl’s employee experience resources and initiatives are focused on making life better by embracing health and wellness as a core value throughout the company, regardless of whether they are at our headquarters in Sausalito or working remotely. For example, we regularly take one-on-one meetings walking on a path around a beautiful marina, rather than sitting in the conference room all day. We have a partnership with a unique local wellness center next to our office that offers fitness, yoga, meditation, kayak rentals, and other classes. Where else could we do that?”

Mushroom Networks Sets Networks on Autopilot Furthering the Human vs. Machine Saga

SAN DIEGO (PRWEB)
October 17, 2019

Mushroom Networks, Inc. announced today a new set of capabilities that further automates networks via their cognitive SD-WAN routers. The new mechanisms can intelligently understand flow patterns, identify traffic types and accordingly adjust real-time treatment of IP packets over the WAN networks – moving those mundane duties away from network engineers at the enterprise branches.

Mushroom Networks’ SD-WAN routers have the ability to control how packets travel over the network by taking advantage of overlay tunnels that optimize performance in real-time with respect to application types. As an example, a WAN link can be greylisted with respect to real-time traffic during a period of high latency, while still being utilized for file transfers during the same period. These types of capabilities enable IT managers to automate traffic flow to WAN assignments providing dynamic management of those WAN resources on an on-going basis without costly and error-prone human involvement.

SD-WAN and IT automation have been widely regarded as a rising threat to human jobs as they can significantly reduce or completely eliminate many traditional IT tasks. “The new capabilities offload the manual analysis and never-ending network debugging work from the network engineer’s plate and automates that piece of the job”, said Dr. Jay Akin, CEO of Mushroom Networks. In fact, as more parts of network management are automated, job requirements for network engineering are shifting from daily routine tasks, including putting out daily fires, to high-level and forward-looking design projects.

Regarding the feared (but largely unjustified) threat that SD-WAN and IT automation jeopardize the jobs of IT professionals, Dr. Akin added, “Similar arguments were made about carriage drivers when cars were first invented, but I can safely argue that there are more professional vehicle drivers today than there were carriage drivers”.

About Mushroom Networks

Mushroom Networks, Inc., is a privately held company based in San Diego, CA, patented Broadband Bonding SD-WAN solutions to a wide range of Internet connection applications. Their products bond dissimilar broadband access technologies forming a single highly reliable broadband pipe that can easily be scaled and customized based on needs. The company’s flagship product line serves SMBs, enterprises, multi-tenant buildings, Internet Service Providers and Managed Service Providers. Mushroom Networks was the winner of the 2019 Communications Product of the year by TMC, 2017 SD-WAN excellence award by Internet Telephony Magazine, 2016 Company of the year award by Quadrant Research, 2015 Most Innovative Product award by CONNECT, finalist for the coveted 2012 San Diego Business Journal Innovation Award and winner of the XCHANGE Tech Innovators Xcellence Award.
