Car Sharing Made Safer and Simpler with New KeyLocker Product


Drone KL1 KeyLocker by Firstech

KeyLocker simplifies key management for all car sharing application.

Families and businesses will save time and money with the KeyLocker and DroneMobile App, opening up even more possibilities for car sharing in the future.

Firstech, makers of Compustar and DroneMobile, has announced its plans to release the Drone KL1 in Summer of 2020. The Drone KL1, or “KeyLocker”, is a LTE-enabled key management and storage solution that will make car sharing easier for families and businesses.

Over the past ten years, the term “car sharing” has taken on many different forms. Individuals are monetizing their personal vehicles on peer-to-peer car sharing platforms. Families with multiple drivers are exploring different ways to get around in conjunction with owning fewer cars. Lastly, businesses are going mobile, managing vehicles and drivers to bring products and services directly to customers.

While these car sharing applications have quickly evolved, key management has not. Families and businesses are still limited to one or two keys per vehicle and rely on outdated storage solutions like kitchen drawers and key storage lockers. Furthermore, vehicle keys can cost up to $700 to replace in the event of loss or damage.

For all of the car sharing applications mentioned, Drone KeyLocker offers a better way to manage vehicle keys. KeyLocker fits into most vehicle compartments and has a sliding door mechanism for safely storing any type of vehicle key, including bladed and smart keys. While a vehicle’s key is stored in a KeyLocker, the system keeps it protected by activating anti-tampering security sensors around KeyLocker and the vehicle. All of these sensors are capable of triggering real-time alerts that are pushed to authorized users’ smartphones over 4G LTE.

Instead of fumbling with vehicle keys, vehicle access is managed through the DroneMobile App. Vehicle owners can send an unlimited number of invitations to family members or coworkers to share access to the vehicle. Once a user is authorized to drive a car, he or she can unlock the doors with the DroneMobile app and hit the road. If the vehicle uses a smart “push to start” key, users don’t even have to remove the key from Drone KeyLocker to drive the car! In essence, the DroneMobile App and KeyLocker transform your smartphone into your vehicle’s key. Drone KeyLocker also includes a 5-digit passcode touchpad, called the “KP1”, that is mounted to the windshield as backup in the event of poor cellular coverage or a dead smartphone battery.

“Drone KeyLocker combines the best of Firstech’s strengths in vehicle control, security and telematics,” explains Firstech’s Managing Director, Jason Kaminski. “Families and businesses will save time and money with the KeyLocker and DroneMobile App, opening up even more possibilities for car sharing in the future.”

Firstech will be adding the KeyLocker to its DroneMobile brand of telematics and tracking products. Drone KeyLocker can be installed as a standalone key management and tracking solution or the device can be added to an existing Compustar remote start and alarm system. Drone KeyLocker must be installed with one of Firstech’s Drone LTE devices to enable cellular connectivity.

Drone KeyLocker will start shipping in Summer 2020 with an MSRP of $159.99 and is available for pre-order directly from Firstech or from Firstech Authorized Distributors in North America.

Bloomfire Unveils New Tool to Simplify Content Curation and Build Trust in Company Knowledge


Bloomfire is setting out to ensure that their customers’ knowledge stays up-to-date and trustworthy with Curation Engine, a new feature of their knowledge engagement software.

As companies grow their internal knowledge bases, it becomes more challenging for employees to find the knowledge they need quickly, and to determine if what they’re viewing is the most up-to-date information. The volume of information available leads the average employee to spend almost two hours per day searching for and gathering information, according to a McKinsey report. Bloomfire’s knowledge engagement platform combats this search time challenge by making all content searchable across file types, while their new Curation Engine helps companies make sure that their employees are only tapping into current information.

Curation Engine allows Bloomfire’s customers to set their own rules to determine how often content should be surfaced for review. When Curation Engine is enabled and a piece of content reaches its expiration date, anyone who is listed as a contributor to that piece of content will receive an in-app and email reminder to review it. They can then review the content and decide to archive or update it.

All pieces of content that Curation Engine determines are up to date will be marked with a “Current Content” badge so that readers can quickly identify the information that’s trusted by their organization.

“The new Curation Engine tool further enhances Bloomfire’s ability to connect people to the right information at the right time,” says Mark Hammer, CEO of Bloomfire. “Curation Engine automatically notifies content creators of content that may be out of date and require review. And it establishes an easy way for consumers of content to know if the content they are reading is current and reliable. The end result is a far more reliable knowledge engagement platform that users can rely on.”

Curation Engine is now active in the Bloomfire platform and available to all customers at no additional cost.

About Bloomfire

Bloomfire is the leader in knowledge engagement, delivering an experience that connects teams and individuals with the information they need to excel at their jobs. Our cloud-based knowledge engagement platform gives people one centralized, searchable place to engage with shared knowledge and grow their organization’s collective intelligence.

TRX Systems Demonstrates Dismount GPS-Denied Location and Tracking Technology at AEWE 2020


TRX NEON Dismount Assured Positioning System

TRX Systems, developer of NEON® GPS-denied location technology, was selected to participate at the 2020 Army Expeditionary Warrior Experiments (AEWE) hosted by the U.S. Army Maneuver Battle Lab in Fort Benning, Georgia. At AEWE 2020, the TRX NEON application provided assured position data for soldiers operating in GPS-denied areas, improving situational awareness, supporting effective navigation, and enhancing safety.

AEWE 2020 is the Army’s premier prototype technology and concept event focused on squad and small units which will play a critical role in shaping the future Army between now and 2025. AEWE 2020 was an opportunity for TRX and other selected companies to demonstrate technologies that will make soldiers more effective and lethal within multi-domain maneuver environments.

Soldiers lack access to reliable position information in GPS-denied areas which severely limits a team’s situational awareness and ability to navigate. TRX’s NEON is a low SWaP, assured PNT technology that provides 3D position and navigation capabilities when satellite technology is unavailable or unreliable. Integrated with the Android Team Awareness Kit (ATAK), NEON improves situational awareness where GPS is not available due to intentional GPS-interference or natural signal blockage.

At AEWE 2020, TRX’s NEON Location Service, integrated with Nett Warrior/ATAK, was deployed on soldier End User Devices as they navigated through simulated GPS-denied outdoor areas and inside buildings throughout the McKenna Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT) site. NEON provided assured position as the soldiers evaluated system ease-of-use and impact on situational awareness.

“AEWE 2020 provided TRX with voice-of-the-soldier feedback on the NEON GPS-Denied technology. Integrated with ATAK, the NEON mobile application was built to provide assured soldier position and AEWE was a unique opportunity for live warfighter validation,” said Jeff Kunst, Vice President of Product and Business Development at TRX Systems. “Hands-on evaluation and immediate feedback from dismounted warfighters executing a broad set of missions have been vital for roadmap development and will be used for all the GPS-denied products we deliver.”

About TRX Systems

TRX Systems is the developer of NEON® GPS-denied location solutions, delivering assured position and mapping where GPS is not available or is unreliable including indoors, underground, in dense urban areas, and where GPS is jammed or erroneous. NEON delivers ubiquitous, low-cost, GPS-denied location through the use of advanced sensor fusion, ranging, and patented dynamic mapping algorithms. NEON® location technology provides the foundation for a number of commercial applications, including NEON® Personnel Tracker and NEON® Signal Mapper. In addition to the U.S. Army, TRX’s indoor location software development has been supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

ancora Software Receives US Patent for Automatic Generation of Training Data for Intelligent Document Classification


Providing Advanced Data Capture and Intelligent Document Classification Solutions

“Our document classification automation reduces hundreds of work hours associated with both configuration and production workflows and produces superior results compared to other vendor classification solutions by leveraging machine learning, said Noel Flynn, CEO at ancora software.

ancora Software, the industry leader of Business Process Automation including Intelligent Document Classification and Advanced Data Capture solutions is very happy to announce the issue of a new patent (US 10,607,115) for automatic generation of training data for its previously patented Intelligent Document Classification solution.. This new patent addresses a method of automatic acquisition of training data for any document type with minimal or no human intervention.

ancora’s Document Classification uses a variety of machine learning algorithms and artificial intelligence to address classification and categorization of documents in such diverse applications as Accounts Payable, Sales Order Automation, Mortgage Loan processing, Auto Dealer Loan processing, Mail Room, Medical Records and data management. This breadth of applications is the result of optimally designed features and algorithms that utilize all available information from the documents to be classified such as the size, the layout, logos or pictures, content and any other attributes of the document, just like a human would do if they were scanning documents on their desk and identifying them. ancora also supports connections to downstream systems to validate and verify the results of classification. The software is designed with the degree of automation that supports the ever-increasing levels of simplicity for the users. ancora’s systems take advantage of vector (first generation) PDF documents to bypass OCR and provide unprecedented accuracy of data classification and capture. This results in very high labor savings achieved in all the steps of the document processing workflow. Our largest customer is a financial institution processing over 35 million pages per year with over 900 document types, we are classifying those documents at 98% accuracy.

“Our document classification automation reduces hundreds of work hours associated with both configuration and production workflows and produces superior results compared to other vendor classification solutions by leveraging machine learning, said Noel Flynn, CEO at ancora software. While rules-based approaches are useful for a small number of static document types, only learning-based automated classification offers a solution for more complex classification and separation needs. ancora Document Classification software removes any need to manually identify first, middle and last pages since it analyzes the output of content classification to automatically detect and create rules.

ancoraDocs is available either on premise or as a true multi-tenant cloud service hosted by ancora on Microsoft Azure. It can also be deployed as a hybrid solution, utilizing zero footprint browser-based clients. “ancoraDocs is designed to bring simplicity to a market where applications have historically been complex and overpriced, difficult to configure, install, use, and maintain,” said Nick Bova, VP of Sales at ancora Software. “It can be deployed in a matter of hours or days, not the weeks or months you often see with traditional capture. This helps users start realizing their benefits sooner and produces a faster time to ROI. In addition, it opens the market to SMB organizations, which have historically not been able to take advantage of automated document capture due to the significant costs of getting started.”

New E2EW Series proximity sensors from Omron feature IO-Link and world’s longest sensing range


E2EW Series proximity sensors from Omron feature IO-Link and world’s longest sensing range

Manufacturers in the automotive industry are striving to make the most of the current trend towards electric vehicles and low fuel consumption by building lighter-weight vehicles and favoring aluminum over iron. As the prevalence of mixed production lines containing both iron and aluminum increases, the demand for same-sensing-distance proximity sensors with suitably long sensing ranges is also on the rise.

The new E2EW Series from end-to-end automation solutions provider Omron Automation Americas is designed to address this need. These highly durable, metal face proximity sensors boast the longest sensing range in their category to date, and they have been optimized to withstand the harsh conditions of typical automotive welding processes with a fluororesin coating that provides increased spatter resistance.

The sensing range of the E2EW Series is approximately twice as long as previous models for ferrous metals and six times as long as previous models for aluminum, making them the ideal solution for mixed-metal production lines. As the sensing ranges for both metals are now equivalent, the sensors support a common design for position detection in such lines. They also reduce unexpected facility stoppages by minimizing false detection for unsteady objects.

Features include:


  • World’s longest sensing distances for both iron and aluminum. The equivalent sensing distances enable common design for position detection in mixed production lines containing both iron and aluminum components.
  • Increased spatter resistance. The E2EW sensors last 60 times as long as previous models in typical automotive welding applications.
  • IIoT-enabled with IO-Link. Support for IO-Link makes it possible to gather data on the detection level and temperature changes of proximity sensors from a single location in real time.

Industry professionals who would like to find out more about the E2EW Series can visit the Omron website here.
