FACTON

Quantities are established automatically based on the new requirements. This saves time and ensures everybody is calculating using the latest customer data and quantity scenarios.

TROY, Mich. (PRWEB)
January 28, 2021

Especially automotive suppliers frequently have to assess and provide parts for different programs and model ranges with different take rates within one delivery volume. Previously, changes in program requirements such as volume planning or program period were calculated outside FACTON EPC and updated in the calculations later. This changes in version 12.

In order to increase supplier companies’ planning security, the manufacturer of the Enterprise Product Costing (EPC) Suite FACTON has extended its EPC Cost Management Solution by the function of programs and take rates. As of now, it is possible to manage programs with different volume scenarios and assign them to a multi-project.

“Customer-specific program data and take rates can now be managed and calculated more efficiently with our EPC standard solution. The advantage for companies is that they can submit quotations to their customers more quickly and react more flexibly to changes,” says Alexander M. Swoboda, CEO of FACTON.

Every product calculation can establish the development of quantities and the production time on the basis of product-specific take rates. Customer-induced changes of the program data can be modified easily and updated in the multi-project. Quantities are established automatically based on the new requirements. This saves time and ensures everybody is calculating using the latest customer data and quantity scenarios. Production programs with customized delivery volumes and program periods as well as the corresponding volume scenarios can be directly displayed in the EPC software solution.

XIMEA’s cameras with Sony Pregius 4th Gen

All of the sensors offer Global shutter readout making them ideal not only for scientific applications, but also for systems where objects move at a higher speed.

MUNSTER, Germany (PRWEB)
January 28, 2021

XIMEA, the innovator of small size and high speed cameras, has announced the addition of new models with exceptional Sony CMOS Pregius™ S sensors: https://www.ximea.com/en/products-news/usb3-camera-sony-pregius-s-4-cmos

The initial line up will start with camera models based on IMX540, IMX541, IMX542 and continue with other sensors from the Sony 4th Generation Pregius S family.

To the outstanding features of the next evolution of Sony CMOS sensors belong the small pixel size in combination with BSI – backside illumination technology.

The small pixel allows even the sensors with high resolution of 24.5 Mpix to stay very compact contributing to closer proximity for multi camera setups.

This shrinking in size does not lead to compromises in the imaging quality which stays remarkable and at least as good as other recent Sony sensors if not higher.

All of the sensors offer Global shutter readout making them ideal not only for scientific applications, but also for systems where objects move at a higher speed.

As was already the case with previous generations, 4th continues with high quantum efficiency as well as lower noise and noteworthy Dynamic range of 71 dB.

Earlier mentioned small pixels are 2.74 µm helping with the choice of C-mount lenses thus improving the cost attractivity and allowing a smaller footprint for mobility.

To leverage the miniature size of Sony sensors, XIMEA has integrated them into the smallest form factor measuring only 26 x 26 x 33 mm and weighing 38 grams.

Power requirements are as low as 3 Watt which allows the cameras to be bus powered directly through the cable.

In regards to cables – the sensors are utilizing both USB3 and PCIe interface to offer simplicity and multi camera system synchronization.

Another important factor is the availability of high speed versions for each of the sensor resolutions, namely the IMX530, IMX531, IMX532.

The higher speed models do not only bring additional considerable improvement in frame rate, but also interesting feature set not available for standard sensors.

This is a continuation of the Sony trend where standard models are cheaper with the same image quality whereas high speed ones are fast and offer feature benefits.

Among the exciting features is the dual ADC of low and high gain modes, the fusion of which produces HDR image as a result. All processing is done on a sensor.

The rest of them include the ultra short interval between two shutters, exposure time monitoring and an improved on-sensor thermometer.

The mentioned features are up to camera vendor decision to implement. XIMEA plans to start with the HDR feature and support others through firmware updates.

To summarize, the sensor models joining the XIMEA portfolio as first are prepared in versions with USB3 or PCIe interface and provide following parameters:

16.1 Mpix, Sony IMX542, color and monochrome, 5328 x 3032, 16:9 ratio, 1.1″

16.1 Mpix, Sony IMX532, color and monochrome, 5328 x 3032, 16:9 ratio, 1.1″ with HDR and other features

20.3 Mpix, Sony IMX541, color and monochrome, 4504 x 4504, 1:1 ratio, 1.1″

20.3 Mpix, Sony IMX531, color and monochrome, 4504 x 4504, 1:1 ratio, 1.1″ with HDR and other features

24.5 Mpix, Sony IMX540, color and monochrome, 5320 x 4600, 4:3 ratio, 4/3″

24.5 Mpix, Sony IMX530, color and monochrome, 5320 x 4600, 4:3 ratio, 4/3″ with HDR and other features

High resolution, unbeatable form factor, attractive price, compatibility and customizability make these cameras stand out and they are worth checking out.

The Yamaha DTX6 (above) and the Yamaha YDS-150 were among the company’s products honored during NAMM Believe in Music Week.

“These industry accolades are particularly meaningful to Yamaha, since the dealers themselves vote on these awards, rendering them the most credible and coveted recognition in the musical products industry…We wish to extend our deepest thanks for these honors,” said Tom Sumner, president, Yamaha.

BUENA PARK, Calif. (PRWEB)
January 27, 2021

Yamaha, the world’s leading sound and music brand, was honored with nine awards at this year’s NAMM “Believe in Music Week,” a new virtual event that featured industry networking, educational enrichment and uplifting entertainment January 18-22, 2021.

The Yamaha YDS-150 Digital Saxophone was selected as one of only six “Best in Show” award honorees by a panel of industry experts. The award ceremony was held on the event’s online platform January 25 and was moderated by Frank Alkyer, publisher of Music Inc. and UpBeat Daily magazines.

Also recognized during the ceremony was the company’s SS-3H Advanced Lightweight Hardware Concert Snare Drum Stand, which took honors in the “Gotta Stock It” category. The SS-3H reduces the typical snare drums stand weight by over 50 percent without sacrificing stability or height adjustment range. It is perfect for schools or individuals with snare drums, drum pads and auxiliary percussion on the go.

“I’ve got band directors who will buy ten of these,” said Leslie Stirm of Instrumental Music Center and one of the Best in Show panelists. “Drum lines, marching band, anyone who is doing pipe bands, anyone who moves around a snare drum and plays it…this is it.”

In addition, Yamaha received two honors in the “Companies to Watch” category—for the company overall and for Yamaha Electronic Drums.

“Yamaha has always had excellence in every category…their lines have always been top-notch,” said Ed Spence of Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center and one of the Best in Show panelists. “I’m looking at where they’re going, and they always seem to be ahead of the game, and that is why I chose Yamaha as a company to watch.”

According to Alkyer, these awards bestowed upon Yamaha collectively represent the most one company has received since the inception of Best in Show in 2005.

The NAMM TEC Awards recognized AMPEG—a Yamaha company—in the “Musical Instrument Amplification & Effects” category for the AMPEG Heritage 50th Anniversary SVT, which distills the legendary amp’s most celebrated circuits into a single stage-ready head with a host of must-have modern technology and elegant vintage aesthetics.

Music Inc. also recognized Yamaha with a “Supplier Excellence” award, while MMR magazine presented the company with its Dealers’ Choice award for “Band & Orchestra Line of the Year.” Finally, Music & Sound Retailer presented Yamaha with two Music & Sound Awards: one for the YDS-150 Digital Saxophone earning “Best Band and Orchestra Product of 2020” recognition, and one for Frank J. Gutwein who earned the “2020 Rep of the Year” distinction.

“These industry accolades are particularly meaningful to Yamaha, since the dealers themselves vote on these awards, rendering them the most credible and coveted recognition in the musical products industry,” said Tom Sumner, president, Yamaha Corporation of America. “We wish to extend our deepest thanks for these honors and our steadfast commitment to continue supplying our dealers with the industry’s finest musical instruments.”
