SWAGTRON Rolls Out Electric Cruiser Bikes


BEST ELECTRIC CRUISER BIKES FOR SALE | SWAGTRON

SWAGTRON’s new electric cruiser bikes combine classic style with a modern boost of electric power.

Cruising in comfort and style shouldn’t mean sacrificing speed and efficiency. That’s why we decided to pair these timeless styles with the boost of an electric motor.

SWAGTRON®, the leader in affordable e-bikes, today rolls out three new full-size electric cruiser bikes. The SWAGTRON EB9, EB10 and EB11 feature classic cruiser-style frames mated to efficient 250-watt electric rear hub motors, paired with 7-speed Shimano SIS gears.

The EB10 and EB11 share a 15.3 mph throttle-only top speed and 26.5-mile range. A bar-mounted LED display monitors battery life, speed, trip distance and allows riders to switch between three speed modes. Both electric bikes are built for comfort, featuring swept-back bars, an upright riding position and coil-sprung, padded saddles. The frames share the timeless, sweeping lines of vintage cruisers, crafted from steel for durability and a compliant ride. The latter is further bolstered by high-volume 2.125-inch whitewall cruiser tires wrapped around 26-inch aluminum rims.

The EB9 balances cruiser comfort and style with city manners thanks to a lighter aluminum frame and 700c x 28mm road tires, making it the perfect electric townie bike. The EB9 boasts a throttle-only top speed of 16.5 mph and a 28-mile range, as well as a bar mounted LED display.

Both the EB9 and EB10 feature a step-through frame design, with a low-slung top tube that makes it easier for riders with limited mobility to mount and dismount.

“Cruising in comfort and style shouldn’t mean sacrificing speed and efficiency,” says CMO Jason Wakefield. “That’s why we decided to pair these timeless styles with the boost of an electric motor.”

All three electric cruiser bikes feature a rear-mounted, lockable, 36-volt Lithium-ion battery that includes a USB charging port to keep devices powered on the go. The battery is designed to be lockable and removable, making it easy to take with you for easy charging or swap out with a fully charged one (sold separately). The battery mounts double as cargo racks for improved aesthetics and added utility.

All three bikes retail for $1,111, available now for the introductory price of $999.99 at SWAGTRON.com, Amazon and select retailers.

News Image

Hunting for the best deals can be complicated and frustrating. With different networks offering similar-looking contracts at wildly different rates, it’s easy to feel like you might be missing out on the best deal. In this context, Tello mobile launches a new, contract-free offer, focused on savings, the focus that has helped the mobile carrier consistently rank in the customers’ preferences for money-saving options: $19 Tello Dollars for any plan order above $19.

When, for whom, and why?

The reason is clear: becoming no.1 go-to MVNO for all those customers in search of a pocket friendly option. This offer is valid for newcomers only, between 17-28 October, 2019.

In terms of data, the promo covers any plan combination that has between 4GB and 12GB. All Tello plans include unlimited text.

Wondering how much data is enough?

While 1GB of data might be enough for someone who mostly uses their phone for calling and texting (and the occasional Google search), it may not be enough for most of data hogs. If customers stream a lot of videos, they should be looking at 12GB plans. For a lot of Internet browsing and Instagram use, somewhere in the ballpark of 4GB may be enough. Thankfully, even if the customers use up all of their high speed data, Tello continues to provide data at a lower speed, so they can still upload their Instagram photos.

How to use the $19 free account credit?

Customers can use the $19 account credit, aka Tello dollars to pay their next phone bill or to get a new phone. No partial payments are allowed at the moment.

How does Tello’s Referral program work?

After joining Tello, customers can earn extra credit anytime with Tello’s Referral Program. They just need to share their referral link with their friends via email or social media and they need to open a Tello account.

Festo Launches Two New Product Lines at Assembly 2019


https://www.prweb.com/

The solutions of the Simplified Motion Series from Festo at a glance.

Festo showcases at Assembly 2019, October 22-24, Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, Rosemont, Ill., the company’s two newest product lines – the Simplified Motion Series and CPX-AP-I remote I/O. Festo also displays such automation solutions as its kit-based servo press, lines of electric drives and actuators, intelligent pneumatics, and adaptive gripper. (Festo Booth #721)

Simplified Motion Series

The Simplified Motion Series of electric drives combines the simplicity of pneumatics with the benefits of electric automation. These new electric drives equipped with Digital I/O and IO-Link® enable a range of operational and productivity benefits and deliver intelligent IIoT communication.

The actuators in this series are built for simple motion between two mechanical end positions. The drives offer optimized motion characteristics, including gentle cushioning, while advancing and retracting into the end positions and pressing and clamping functionality. Units in the initial release include toothed belt axis, spindle and toothed belt axis, mini slide, electric cylinder, and rotary drive.

CPX-AP-I remote I/O

The new Festo remote I/O system CPX-AP-I, which improves the performance of mixed valve terminals and I/O systems, is compatible with most communication protocols, including EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, and EtherCAT. These rugged, compact, and lightweight modules can be mounted directly on machines in IP65/IP67 rated environments. CPX-AP-I recently received a 2019 Reddot award for product design.

CPX-AP-I enables valve terminals to be moved closer to pneumatic cylinders, which reduces pressurization time and increases the machine’s overall performance. Process data in and out of each bus module is as much as two kilobytes. Scan cycles for a mix of both valve terminals and I/O are below one millisecond and are expected to approach microseconds. Latency is virtually nonexistent.

CPX-AP-I remote I/O has the capacity of up to 80 I/O modules, which can be a mix of digital I/O, analog I/O, I/O-Link, and valve terminals. Furthermore, the distances between modules is up to 49 feet (15 meters). CPX-AP-I has a theoretical upper limit of 500 I/O modules and 164 feet (50 meters) distance between modules.

The YJKP servo press kit

Whether the application is to press-fit printed circuit boards into housings, seal module housings, or press-fit and test seals, the YJKP servo press kit provides a unique, cost effective solution. Without forfeiting reliability, ease of use, or performance, the do-it-yourself (DYI) kit approach shaves thousands of dollars off the cost of pre-built presses that are utilized for electronics and small-parts manufacturing.

Companies simply specify what they need and avoid expensive oversizing. The operating software is pre-installed in the controller and ready for use as soon as system integration is complete. Parameterizing the press unit is simple and intuitive. No programming skills are needed. The modular software offers a range of application-specific functions and can be displayed on a PC, tablet, or other interface device. Pre-defined press functions make configuration of joining processes easy. Key process parameters can be fully checked and tracked for quality assurance.

Fast changeover

The VTEM Motion Terminal’s intelligent pneumatic valves change functionality based on downloadable apps. The Motion Terminal is ideal for products with short lifecycles, lines where multiple stock keeping units (SKUs) are manufactured, and small lot production. Functionalities include:

  • Pressure control with a fluidic muscle DMSP
  • Pre-setting travel time with a DGC linear drive
  • Flow control with flow sensors SFAH
  • Caudal regulator with the DGC linear drive
  • Pick and place with a DGSL mini slide


Fast, trouble-free assembly with these linear axes

The ELGC/EGSC electric axes and electric slide from Festo offer innovation solutions for electronics and light assembly applications. The ELGC and EGSC can be assembled in as little as 90 seconds into one, two, or three axes for prototype or production assembly and testing systems. OEMs and end users simply screw the axes/slides together. Customer mounting plates are not utilized, and no special expertise or tools are required.

The efficient use of space that characterizes both the spindle and toothed belt axes ELGC and the mini slide EGSC is essential for assembly, testing, inspection, small parts handling, and desktop applications. ELGC/EGSC-based systems, whether they are pick-and-place solutions, linear, or three-dimensional gantries, benefit from each unit’s compact dimensions. The ELGC, with its internal, protected recirculating ball bearing guide, is particularly suitable for X-, Y-, and Z-axes applications. The mini slide EGSC is ideal for Z-axis movements or guided linear individual movement in any mounting position.

Fast engineering with this innovative end-of-arm tool

The new DHEF adaptive shape gripper is an end-of-arm tool that offers maximum gripping flexibility with minimal engineering. The adaptive shape gripper automatically grasps mixed objects, multiple shapes, fragile items, and unaligned objects. The flexible silicone cap gently forms around objects, gripping it firmly. This gripper is ideal for collaborative robotics.

Other Festo Assembly highlights include:

  • A range of electric drives and linear actuators
  • A portfolio of IO-Link solutions
  • Festo Stars of Automation for guaranteed 24-hour shipment of core products.

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


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.

Evigence and Jarja Floral Partner to Redefine Floral Freshness Monitoring


Flower Merchandising Aid

FMA Color Changing Sensors

It is incredibly difficult for consumers and retail employees to determine a floral bouquet’s remaining vase life, but no one wants to sell or buy flowers that are past their prime

PMA Fresh Summit, Booth #126 – October 17, 2019 – Evigence Sensors™ and fresh-cut tulip supplier Jarja Floral today announced the launch of a sensor specifically designed for the floral industry. Developed in partnership by Evigence and Jarja, the new Floral Merchandising Aid (FMA™) Sensor will be unveiled at the PMA Fresh Summit, Booth #126 in Anaheim, California. Leading supermarket chains are piloting the sophisticated freshness sensors on bouquets in select locations to reduce waste and increase customer satisfaction by ensuring optimum merchandising at point of purchase.

“It is incredibly difficult for consumers and retail employees to determine a floral bouquet’s remaining vase life, but no one wants to sell or buy flowers that are past their prime,” said John Oosterveld, president, Jarja. “Until now, there was no way to properly measure floral freshness to appropriately merchandise a bouquet. The FMA Sensor makes it easy for retailers and consumers to know the precise freshness of a floral arrangement.”

Designed to visually indicate the remaining saleable life of a perishable product, the latest addition to Evigence’s growing lineup of color-changing, intelligent sensors will help floral retailers better monitor and manage the merchandising of their bouquets. Like all Evigence sensors, the FMA™ Sensor takes the form of printed, self-adhesive labels in a variety of shapes and sizes that can be customized to a meet the shelf-life profile of all fresh-cut flowers.

“The extension of our sensor technologies to floral freshness was a natural fit. Like food, flowers have a short shelf life that is heavily influenced by temperature fluctuations during storage, transport and display,” added Yoav Levy, CEO, Evigence. “Floral retailers will no longer be forced to depend on a date code that cannot tell them when a bouquet is past its prime. Our new FMA Sensor gives retailers an accurate view of the bouquet’s saleable life from the time it arrives to the time of sale so they can better merchandise their stock—increasing sell through and eliminating waste.”

Changing color to indicate current freshness based on proprietary technology that monitors temperature and other freshness factors, the FMA Sensors are now available to retailers around the globe and can be calibrated for varying floral life spans. Barcodes, prices, date codes, and product origin information can also be printed on the FMA, offering transparency throughout the bouquet’s journey from producer to retailer and into a consumer’s home.

AQYR Announces Participation in Viasat’s Government Terminal Modification Kit Program


“We are excited to be working with Viasat to provide an affordable, resilient communications capability to our DoD and international coalition partners,” said Carl D’Alessandro, president of AQYR Technologies, Inc.

AQYR Technologies, Inc., a New Hampshire based manufacturer of rugged, portable, tactical satellite communications (SATCOM) terminals, announced it will participate in Viasat’s government-focused terminal modification kit program, which will enable AQYR’s terminals to interoperate with Viasat’s current and next-generation high-capacity SATCOM networks, including hybrid, multi-network architectures. Hybrid, multi-network SATCOM architectures will allow military users to easily roam among commercial and purpose-built defense satellite networks.

Enabling interoperability between AQYR’s terminals and Viasat’s SATCOM networks provides assurance to U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and international coalition forces that their current inventory of SATCOM terminals will be able to access Viasat’s next-generation, high-capacity satellite networks by simple updates to existing terminals without the need to purchase new equipment.

“We welcome companies like AQYR, who have committed to join us in creating a path to simplify technology logistics and lower total cost of ownership in relation to defense SATCOM networks,” said Ken Peterman, president, Government Systems, Viasat. “Our terminal modification kit will help U.S. DoD and international military forces quickly implement an end-to-end hybrid architecture to support their diverse mission sets while using interoperable terminals on the best available SATCOM networks.”

Hybrid networks can maximize subscriber capabilities and resilience by providing simultaneous access to multiple networks. These networks may span multiple orbital regimes, operate over multiple frequency bands, provide independent terrestrial infrastructure and feature different network management and cyber defense capabilities, providing inherent diversity and removing single points of failure and/or attack. Due to load balancing, different service level agreements, network congestion, weather and other attributes, the user population of hybrid networks will be spread across multiple transport networks. This will make it difficult for an adversary to target their communications capabilities for collection, exploitation or denial.

For more information on hybrid networking, please visit Viasat’s website.

As the largest contract foodservice company in the world, UK-based Compass Group has operations in 50 countries and employs more than 600,000 people around the globe. This multinational company expanded its reach to the United States in 1994 and has since become the leading foodservice supplier to restaurants, hospitals, arenas, corporate offices, museums, K-12 schools, and college campuses. With more than 3,000 different suppliers and tens of thousands of products, the task of managing all of the required documentation is a massive undertaking.

Jeff Mann, Director of Quality at Compass, says supplier management is an integral part of protecting the Compass brand, as well as their stakeholders. That’s why the company selected FoodLogiQ Connect’s Manage + Monitor to help them streamline their supplier management and to provide visibility into their supply chain.

“We had a very basic automated supplier management system that promised a wide variety of capabilities, but it didn’t deliver,” explains Mann. “It was very limited in the functions it allowed us to perform, and if we wanted to make changes, we had to ask the service provider to do it. That’s inefficient. We wanted an off-the-shelf system that was flexible enough for us to manage ourselves. FoodLogiQ had all the requirements to help us accomplish that goal.”

Elemental Machines Partners with Advanced LIMS Manufacturer


News Image

The Elemental Machines platform gives laboratory personnel peace of mind that their valuable assets are protected.

Elemental Machines (EM) has partnered with Accelerated Technology Laboratories, Inc. (ATL), a leader in Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), to combine EM’s continuous data collection technology with ATL’s LIMS solutions.

The addition of EM’s wireless sensor measurements to ATL’s TITAN® or Sample Master® LIMS will allow customers to monitor the temperature of laboratory equipment such as freezers, refrigerators, incubators, humidity chambers, greenhouses or ovens in real-time. In addition to equipment monitoring they can use the Element-A for ambient monitoring, including the ability to monitor temperature, humidity, pressure and light. This best-in-class technology combination will allow users to affordably meet regulatory compliance goals, enhance data quality and maximize resources.

The Elemental Machines platform gives laboratory personnel peace of mind that their valuable assets are protected. It also saves them time and improves the accuracy of their studies with its AI-powered platform. Instruments and environments are monitored 24/7 for out of range conditions with all data automatically stored in the Cloud.

ATL is introducing this capability as Monitor Plus, a continuous automated monitoring solution, which includes intelligent, wireless sensors that install easily and transmit data via WiFi with a cellular backup in case of a power outage or network interruption. The continuous flow of data is stored in the Cloud, and the Dashboard is a powerful browser-based data analysis tool that provides a wealth of monitoring data plus the ability to provide real-time alerts, 24/7, via text messaging, for potential out of compliance situations to enable rapid mitigation.

“We are delighted to partner with ATL to integrate our Internet of Things network into ATL’s LIMS, providing customers with a continuous data record of their equipment and environment to enable alerting and monitoring, regulatory compliance and accelerating their scientific discovery,” said Robert Pemberton, Vice President of Commercial Operations at Elemental Machines.

“ATL is very excited about adding Monitor Plus, the cutting-edge wireless monitoring technology, as a powerful feature for our TITAN and Sample Master LIMS customers,” said Dr. Christine Paszko, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at ATL. “This will allow laboratories to visualize the temperature and asset data for a more complete understanding of performance, trends and compliance.”

Elemental Machines, based in Cambridge, MA, uses new tools such as IoT, predictive analytics, and data science for process optimization. Access and interpretation of large data volumes is easier thanks to these tools, whose applications are far-reaching: improved processes for biopharma, chemistry, clinical, agriculture and veterinary industries.
