The solution is amazing. It’s accurate and our team members love it. They take their temperatures multiple times per day, and they enjoy having the ability to read their own results.

LAS VEGAS (PRWEB)
September 02, 2020

As the country continues to re-open, companies are doing everything they can to make their employees feel safe from Covid-19. Checking for elevated temperatures is critical as it may help mitigate the spread of the virus. Studies have shown that elevated temperature is prevalent in 87.9% of people who present symptoms; it is the number one thing to look for when allowing people into a building.

After struggling with handheld thermometers, Massachusetts-based manufacturer NEDC decided to purchase multiple eClear devices for its facility. “The solution is amazing,” said Kim Abare, President of NEDC, “It’s accurate and our team members love it. They take their temperatures multiple times per day, and they enjoy having the ability to read their own results. We use it to scan our team members, suppliers, vendors and customers, and everyone likes the system.”

eClear is a Thermal Camera with Built in Facial Matching. This camera is lightweight and portable, can be placed almost anywhere. Due to its effectiveness as well as its ease of use, eClear is gaining wide adoption in across many industries from hospitality and manufacturing to government and education.

“It has been a very tough time for businesses across America,” said Henry Valentino, eConnect’s CEO. “We are proud to have a solution that will help everyone get back to business in a safe manner. I know the team at NEDC has made the safety of their employees a priority and I’m glad we could help them out. We are privileged to work with such excellent people.”

In addition to the basics of preventing the spread of disease by automatically checking temperatures, eClear has a facial matching component which offers many benefits, such as a real-time aggregate count of all entrances and exits. When placed at employee entrances, eClear can be used as a hands-free time clock to further ensure employee safety.

NEDC Sealing Solutions has been offering solutions through diecutting, laser-cutting, molding, fabrication/assembly, and waterjet cutting for the past 30 years. NEDC has evolved from a garage with a few manual die-cutting machines to a 70,000 square foot facility facilitating solutions through high quality products such as EMI/RFI absorbers, insulators, thermal pads, tapes, gaskets, and epoxy preforms. NEDC Sealing Solutions now deals with military, medical, aerospace, and consumer markets. NEDC is an SBA, woman-owned business located in Methuen, Massachusetts.

“It was a pleasure to work with the latest and brightest RGB laser projector on the market for this unique project,” says Philippe Bergeron, President of PaintScaping.”

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (PRWEB)
September 02, 2020

Christie® pure RGB laser projectors helped to mark the launch of United Launch Alliance’s (ULA) Delta IV Heavy rocket at Cape Canaveral with the first ever 3D projection mapping on an operational rocket by PaintScaping. A total of six all-in-one 45,000 ISO lumen Christie D4K40-RGB projectors – provided by rental expert Nationwide Video – mapped onto the façade of the nearly 72-meter rocket, approximately 30 hours before ULA’s launch for the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO).

“It was a pleasure to work with the latest and brightest RGB laser projector on the market for this unique project,” says Philippe Bergeron, President of PaintScaping, which created the eye-catching content for the event. “We have a long history of working with Christie and Nationwide Video, and it was a joy to team up with them once again. The imposing structure of the rocket drove the narrative of this once in a life-time video mapping opportunity, with the Christie projection helping to deliver the impact we required. It is always a thrill to share the power of 3D projection mapping, and we enjoyed the challenge of delivering on the client’s vision.”

ULA’s Delta IV Heavy was the only rocket capable of carrying the NROL-44 mission. The rocket launched in the early morning on August 26 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The façade of the Delta IV Heavy – with its combination of even, uneven, curved and flat surfaces – presented a test for PaintScaping’s extensive skills on this largescale mapping. Previous PaintScaping projects utilizing Christie projection include Calvin Harris featuring Rihanna’s This is What You Came For music video, a BMW plug-in hybrid advert and the Aurora projection mapping show at San Diego Zoo.

“With enhanced color saturation, brightness and contrast, pure RGB laser technology is an ideal choice for impactful largescale projection. When combined with great talent and an exciting opportunity such as this, the pay-off is something special,” says Michael Bosworth, executive vice president, Enterprise, Christie. “The PaintScaping team has once again demonstrated its supreme expertise in the 3D projection mapping arena, and we’re proud to have played a part in achieving its ambitious plans for this stunning project.”

Christie D4K40-RGB’s compact all-in-one design and long-lasting, reliable light source is an ideal choice for projection mapping. It produces greater than 95% of the Rec. 2020 color space for rich, vibrant, true-to-life visuals, and features built-in warping and blending with Christie Twist. The powerhouse projector is also compatible with the Christie Mystique® automated camera-based alignment software solution.

Christie Digital Systems USA, Inc. is a global visual and audio technologies company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Ushio Inc., Japan (JP: 6925).
