“Being able to remotely change prices, with little to no human assistance needed, is vital to maintaining our business – and during the 2020 pandemic, this automation was even more critical,” shared Chris Hartman, Rutter’s Director of Fuel and Forecourt.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (PRWEB)
August 05, 2020

PriceAdvantage, a patented software solution that helps retailers optimize and manage fuel prices, then automatically execute and verify price changes to the POS, pumps, and price signs, announced today a new case study. The case study demonstrates how Rutter’s, a convenience store chain that operates 78 stores throughout Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Maryland, embraced technology to optimize fuel prices and streamline the price change execution process.

During the 2020 pandemic, Rutter’s, like all fuel retailers, dealt with extraordinary, day-to-day operational hurdles. They had to ensure that both customers and employees were safe, managed in-store inventory demands, and addressed volatile fuel costs, margins, and decreased volumes. PriceAdvantage enables Rutter’s to manage fuel prices and execute price changes anytime – from anywhere – using a laptop or mobile app.

“We are proud to provide Rutter’s with PriceAdvantage software and Skyline Price Signs, a combination that creates a complete fuel pricing ecosystem,” said Chip Stadjuhar, CEO of Skyline Products. “Rutter’s can optimize and execute fuel price changes, and also receive industry-exclusive communication from the Skyline price signs that automatically confirms the price changed successfully and is displayed correctly on the price sign.”

“Using PriceAdvantage, I can quickly react to market movement at my desk and on my mobile phone,” shared Chris Hartman, Rutter’s Director of Fuel and Forecourt. Chris established pricing rules for all of the stores within PriceAdvantage – including considerations for competitors, desired margins, etc. and looks at PriceAdvantage each morning, and throughout the day, to review all of the stores to ensure they are priced appropriately. “Also, PriceAdvantage ensures that the price change process prevents us from having a posted sign price that is lower than the pump price. The combination of PriceAdvantage and Skyline price signs mitigates these issues.”

Read the case study in its entirety.

MapleMBSE provides a streamlined, Excel®-based interface to the systems model with task-specific views for editing the model directly.

“This new release brings MapleMBSE to even more systems engineers, and promises to make stakeholder engagement even easier than before.”

WATERLOO, Ontario (PRWEB)
August 04, 2020

Maplesoft™ today announced a new release of MapleMBSE, the software that enables companies to implement Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) processes without requiring every stakeholder on the project to be an expert in complex MBSE tools. The release of MapleMBSE 2020.2 now supports the MBSE platform Capella, in addition to improved performance and usability.

MapleMBSE provides an intuitive, Excel®-based interface to the systems model with optimized, task-specific views for editing the model directly, all while keeping the central model updated for use by all stakeholders. By eliminating the need to funnel all MBSE tasks through a small number of systems engineering tool experts, MapleMBSE democratizes the engineering process and significantly reduces the overhead, time, and errors that can arise when every stakeholder must use their primary MBSE tool. The new release of MapleMBSE adds support for Capella, a powerful MBSE platform from the Eclipse Foundation. Organizations using Capella can now edit models within MapleMBSE, allowing them to simplify MBSE tasks and increase engagement with MBSE processes at their company. For all MapleMBSE users, the new release brings a variety of performance improvements for loading and interacting with systems models, as well as new usability features to make tracking model revisions easier.

“Most project stakeholders aren’t experts in MBSE tools, so they are hesitant to engage with the overall systems engineering processes at their company. Modern engineering projects have made systems engineering processes vitally important to success, requiring all stakeholders to be in collaboration. With MapleMBSE, it is easy for all stakeholders to contribute to the systems engineering process,” says Paul Goossens, Vice President of MBSE Solutions at Maplesoft. “This new release brings MapleMBSE to even more systems engineers, and promises to make stakeholder engagement even easier than before.”

In addition to supporting Capella, the new release of MapleMBSE allows engineers to easily manage project traceability and realizations using matrices. Users of other MBSE platforms, including IBM® Engineering Systems Design Rhapsody® and Cameo Systems Modeler™ by No Magic, will benefit from improved performance across MapleMBSE, especially when importing and editing large models. When working with systems models, MapleMBSE now includes a revision browser to view comments and changes made to the systems model by other stakeholders. The new version also allows users to include predicate filtering in their model queries, allowing for faster and more automated ways to ensure model details are accurate.

MapleMBSE customers include Nissan, Honda, NASA JPL, Sandia Laboratories, and Lockheed-Martin Space Systems.

All of Siborg’s devices come with sharp, gold-plated tweezer tips that can hold components up to 0204 size.

Siborg offers a wide range of test devices for Surface Mount Technology; their design combines a set of tweezer probes built into a compact yet powerful multimeter. The LCR-Reader line of devices has significantly grown since its debut in 2014. Each device is able to identify components and determine the best test parameters to use to provide high accuracy results. Users aren’t required to set-up measurements between components and can grasp and hold components without the use of long wire leads. The flagship device, the LCR-Reader is able to test with 0.5% basic accuracy, but users are only able to change the test mode.

The LCR-Reader-MPA has the widest range of features and the highest basic accuracy at 0.1%. The MPA’s features include voltage/current measurement, diode/LED test, oscilloscope mode, frequency meter, Super Cap testing up to 680 mF, pulse counting, AC/DC voltage measurements, and more. One of the main features of the MPA is the ability to test components using a 100 kHz test frequency that allows for 1 nH resolution and a 0.01 pF resolution for capacitance.

There are 3 different models of MPA available; the base model, a low-frequency model and the Bluetooth model. The low-frequency model has less test frequencies, ranging from 100 Hz to 10 kHz. The Bluetooth enabled model allows users to remotely record measurement values in real-time using PC or Android. These values can be saved into a database or file for later analysis. Users are also able to set profiles that grant a pass or fail to the component depending on if it meets the parameters set.

Features on LCR-Reader-MPA:

• 0.1% basic accuracy
• LCR/ESR, LED/Diode testing
• 3 signal test levels of 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 Vrms
• Easy open/short calibration
• 100 kHz test signal level
• Large and Super Large Capacitance testing up to 640 mF
• Oscilloscope mode
• NIST Traceable calibration certificate (available for LCR-Reader-MPA Pro, Smart Tweezers and LCR-Reader-Pro)

The Smart Tweezers device is the basis for all other tweezer-meters. The Smart Tweezers ST-5S has a 0.2% basic accuracy, fully automatic testing for LCR/ESR, Diode polarity/short testing and more. There is a Bluetooth enabled model of Smart Tweezers also available that, much like LCR-Reader-MPA BT, is able to remotely record values and offers the same testing profiles.
